SARAH'S FIRST DAY IN JORDAN

I hope she starts a blog but Sarah, my dear friend, has just moved to Amman. Just, as in: today. Some of her first impressions:

"Arriving was magical. Seeing the city at night, the desert and fields of camels. My landlord called me along the way to say welcome to Jordan and other nice, energetic things.

I arrived to find no towels, so my landlord took me on the spot to a "mall' which was actually like a pseudo american mall in a souk form, and bargained the hell out of this dude for 2 pink towels, well one pink one coral. he was so proud that i couldnt tell him they were the ugliest towels i'd seen. and on the drive back i saw the mosque lit up, the call to prayer echoing off the hills. it made my heart leap like seeing a crush from afar.

i hung out in my room, called jamil, watched M arabia, the arab MTV, and drank a bebsi."

I MISS HER ALREADY.
