City of brotherly love. Amman: the first philadelphia. Newer posts →. Not in kansas, part i. February 6, 2010. I think this is actually in Saudi, and most signs in Jordan are in English. Often my life in Amman feels like I moved to a new American city, rather than abroad. I suppose a lot of this sentiment comes from having living in Yemen for a stint, which, quite the opposite, makes one feel as they had moved to another century on another planet. Then, I get messages like these from the Embassy. Behind ...

https://tnbc.wordpress.com/my-jargon
Tomatoes 'n' blue cheese. Sprinkled throughout my posts will be cryptic signals. Much as I might like to think myself privy to a cult culture, these are not codes for a secret tomato society or anything. (But, then again, can you take my word for it? Here’s the breakdown:. AA alhamdulillah thank God (give credit where credit is due). IA insha’Allah God willing (I don’t command the future; He does). MA masha’Allah wow (or, literally, whatever God wills). SA subhanAllah glory be to God ( synonymous with mA).

Tomatoes 'n' blue cheese. On March 1, 2010. The man held up two fingers, one for each of his wives. Next, he held the tip of his index finger and shook it. 8220;She’s paralyzed, the waist down, can’t move. Go, bring your mother,” he instructed one of the children. They didn’t believe us, I don’t think, for they kept asking if we’d taken their names down and if the help would know their address when it arrived.

https://tnbc.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/star-crescented-love
Tomatoes 'n' blue cheese. On March 14, 2010. It was Valentine’s Day and I, of course, was at UJ, going door to door in pursuit of happiness and, more immediately, a college email address. As I climbed the millionth stair, I saw a girl there, on the floor up above. Our eyes met. We smiled. I doubt it was love. I asked her a question. She didn’t know. Was I not from here? And I thought, does it show? America, I said to unwonted applause. She gasped, clapped, laughed without pause. And how did you meet?
