Lost and Found
May 28, 2009 Nina Mufleh in People
Since the day I started driving, I've dreaded exploring new areas – maps make no sense to me; sudden turns catch me off-guard; and my sense of direction never guides me to the right road. Venturing into a new part of town usually requires a companion, a full tank of gas, and air-conditioning turned up to arctic temperatures. All this makes sense when you factor in how often I manage to get lost during a short trip.

Trails along the stairs
May 28, 2009 Nadine Toukan in People
One of the charming traits of Amman are the stairs around the city, almost artery-like connecting the hills and downtown - that heart pumping life along the stairs into the neighborhoods and nooks.

Zorabeh
May 27, 2009 Roba Al-Assi in People
Zorabeh (zorA-beh)[noun, v. zoreb]: (Jordanian slang) to continually, dangerously and aggressively change lanes while driving a car at crazy intervals, in very short distances, and at (relatively) high speed. SYN: batwen. Several reasons contributed to why I decided to go to school in Jordan rather than abroad like initially planned, and one of the very main reasons was a mighty appealing bribe- if you go to Jordan, I was told, you can have your very own car. Ah, my very own car. H...
