A beautiful Friday spent in Amman - courtesy Oksana's insane itinerary - from being tempted out of bed with thoughts of breakfast at Hashem - where we ended up hogging a table for hours and serving ourselves, followed by fresh orange juice at the Palestine Juice stand, arguileh & coffee in the lawns next to the Roman Amphitheater, watching an Egyptian Sufi group perform at King Hussein Park* and a random evening session of tea, muffins and crazy/insightful conversation with the team where I'm quite sure a Barney-esque persona took over me. It is definitely not 'my week, my month' - but still ;)
*pictures & video below -- though it definitely seemed more of a combo of live entertainment catered to the family/children audience and more Middle Eastern music than the Sufi kind I am used to, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

The first couple of lines about the tour in downtown, they are a detailed description for a day I spent with my friend before he left to study abroad. I loved it
Hi Saba,
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures! Yes, I've been to Pakistan once years ago, Lahore & Peshawar. May go again after Christmas this year. My father is actually from Gujranwala (sp.?) so I'm half-Pakistani, although sadly he taught me neither Urdu nor Punjabi. I work for IOM here in Amman now, I've lived here since January 2007.
You're an AIESECer? I joined AIESEC my last semester of university but left before I had a chance to actually be active. Where did you go to school?

There some really good plays, I heard that the tunisian one tomorrow is supposed to be really good.
I attended the palestinian documentary today.
