Jad's Thoughts

Amman mean women goddess name in Hinduism

Wikipedia – Wadi Rum (Arabic: وادي رم) is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in south west Jordan. It is the largest wadi in Jordan. The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning ‘high’ or ‘elevated’. To reflect its Arabic pronunciation properly, archaeologists transcribe the name Wadi Ramm.

While most of bloggers were thinking and blogging about their favourite blogger, your favourite blogger :p Jad was biking & hiking in Wadi Rum.

Camping in Wadi Rum is a great experience by itself; adding Bike & Hike makes it a very memorable experience, unlike most of people, we were riding Bikes instead of camels.

Tareef Biking Club did the magic by organizing this adventure trip, Tareef staff were so professional and helpful, they took care of all details, the trip wouldn’t be fun and safe without their efforts.

Zawaideh Desert Camp was like a five stars hotel, I’d compare their food quality to Amman Ata Ali and their service to a five stars hotel but I really cannot compare their honesty and the smile on the face to anyone, the staff were just awesome, I’d make sure to reserve at Zawaideh Desert Camp whenever I head to Wadi Rum again.

Participants were kind of people that you would be interested to turn them into a friends, they were fun, full of energy and up into anything, they were a good mix of 10 years old up to 64 years old.

I was surprised by Hussam, this man is so much fun, he’s energetic until I start thinking that he might be taking some fun viagra!

Have you ever seen a pidgin in the desert? I never thought that a pidgin could live in desert until I met some there.

Our 64 years old biker was also a Yoga expert

This women has amazing soul, she has been biking since 1946, her brother was a champ in Germany. She speaks excellent Arabic, actually she relatively have a proper Arabic than the rest of us however.

Jordan is amazing country yet we haven’t discovered all of it’s sites and the more you go out the more you find more about its beauty.

• Scarves or cowls with Fun Fur or other yarns

Sorry for being late, I actually thought I wrote and scheduled it to be published on 27th anyway, I was biking & hiking in wadi rum, I guess it’s a good excuse

We’re talking about bloggers not blogs, right? so I’ll be writing about bloggers I know in person ONLY (it doesn’t make a sense to pick someone as favourite blogger when you don’t know him/her in person)

My favourite Jordanian bloggers is Na3ouri & Mazen Al-Ali. (Random order :p)

Favourite 3looj blogger is of course Dave.

That’s it?

Saying that X or Y is my favourite blogger has nothing to do with their blogs; they are my favourite because it happens that I know them in person and it happens that they are a good friends; in short you might favourite me and dislike my blog

Not sure if I can participate when most of my favourite blogs belongs to people that I do not know in person so I’m not sure how I’m going to blog about my favourite bloggers.

Been almost all the day in bed for three days now because of periodically known time and well hijacker, Influenza.

I tried almost all advised herbals that supposed to heal or ease down the side effects but none worked out and this make me think of why flu has a season, I mean does that virus has a season to spread or is it out bodies that has seasons of ability to host the virus, Hareega please burn it out.

Gutsy Gibbon is cool and it’s stable from day one or actually a 30 days prior to release date which is awesome, developers did their best and now giving their best work under your disposal, don’t get shy and upgrade to Gutsy.

Now I have Ubuntu Baseball Cap although I don’t play Baseball and I don’t even watch it but with Canonical Store it was possible for someone like me to have Ubuntu Baseball cap, although I have had bad experience with them but that pushes me to say American and Canadian rocks when it comes to retail business and they should teach British how to do such business, anyway I also got Ubuntu Stress Ball & Metal Key Fob.

Isn’t it nice to play for charity ? if you think so check what Lalla Mira’s has in her bag.

May God be with you is a common wish you would say to a friend or relative who have some work to finish with any governmental department in Jordan but I can assure it’s just a history when it comes to Civil Status and Passport Department.

Today I decided to go to CSPD to renew my ID as it was very shabby and the photo was taken like 10 years ago; I wouldn’t even recognize myself looking to it and I was delaying this task day after day, month after month; actually year after year because visiting a governmental department would be the last thing I fancy to do but today I was shocked and astonished!!! it took only 30 minutes, THIRTY MINUTES to issue my new ID and by 30 minutes I mean from the minute I entered the building to the minute I left it, including filling the application form, standing in the queue, paying 3 JODs and getting my ID.

It’s amazing to see governmental departments in Jordan getting better and maybe they have been doing good for a while, my last experience with them was at least five years ago.

What made me happy and actually excited about visiting them again to renew my passport isn’t just the blink of processing my application but they do greet and smile too.

isn’t it nice to see such thing?

A question to be asked to those who walk in the street especially those who walks in group of three or four and they decide to walk in the middle of the street, DO YOU HAVE FUCKING TIRES ?

If so then the Central Traffic Directorate have to implement a new numbering system for those people, something like sticking a thick-headed-man number plat.

Driving in Jordan is so stressing, it’s not surprising to see some teenagers doing some semi-drift around one of our 8th circles while the traffic officer smoking instead of stopping them, I wonder if he’s getting paid to relax and smoke or to control traffic, stopping idiots and fining them.

I have my car for less than a month and it’s my first driving experience and I can confirm it’s so stressing to drive in Amman, speeding in the right-lane seems to be acceptable, crossing the road at the entrance or the exist of the tunnel seems to be a habit, ignoring the traffic light in Al-Bayader makes sense.

Driving in Wadi Saqra HIGHWAY is a battle and it’s matter of life and death, a matter of fighting with public buses not for anything but to avoid getting killed.

We definitely need a new traffic regulations, something like You can hit anyone crossing the road at the entrance or the exist of any tunnel ESPECIALLY that we have BIG WARNING SIGN and we are almost begging people not to cross from there but they still do that, so please take it as a responsibility of controlling Jordan’s population by killing anyone cross from there

Finally, Jordanian defines the Nanosecond as the time between the green light of traffic light and hearing the loads of laud horns.
