Deemco – yes, the good certainly has outweighed the bad in hindsight!

Kinzi – I had exactly the same thought this morning reading your post; actually, mine felt paltry in comparison! ;)

Maioush – Haha! Yup, it was mighty refreshing to jump down off my soap-box and appreciate the smaller things in life! :D

I know jordanians are stereotyped as “Rude, mean, and people who never smile”, but they have big hearts and they stick together. I hope the good outweighed the bad during ur time here in Jordan

And you broke my heart with the story of the poverty.
Am I supposed to get this emotional over this post? Maybe not, but I felt something deeper than mere words. As you said, it’s like your first love, it never really leaves you. And the same can be said about the hues of Amman, and the scent of Jordan
