Back from Jordan

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 / Posted by Tha2ir /

Well, I was fortunate enough to have some time to spend in Amman. However, this didn't mean that I had the chance to catch the snow. I didn't even get a glimpse of it, sadly.

But, going to Amman on this time meant one very important thing: Valentine's day. Usually, I'm all against this international day stuff, I don't believe that we ( me and my fiancée) should stick to a day that is not even relevant to our life to celebrate our love. But, considering that this was the first Valentine's we had - while being officially together, as far as her parents know, we we're not together before that- I decided to bend my rules a bit and take my Bueno to a nice restaurant.

One thing I didn't have in mind was that I wasn't the only one, almost every nice restaurant I knew had a full booking! I was taken aback, and this meant I had to do some creative searching, it's not easy to find a good restaurant in Amman, believe me.

Luckily, after 3 days of intensive search I managed to find a seat at a restaurant I never been to before: "Grappa". A nice Italian Rest. just above Salute. I've been to Salute, but never had the chance to visit Grappa. The only annoying thing was all this " set menu" thing, almost every Rest. I called had a set menu. which I believe is a very bad idea to attract costumers. But, I didn't care later cause the food was really nice, and they seated us at a really great view of Down town. and the prices were very reasonable there.

If' you're into Italian Food, then I advice you to try this one.

Another fact of my vacation in Amman was the annoying surge of prices, I mean I spent so much money without even knowing what did I do with it. I tell you one thing, living in Jordan is becoming a problem with each day. Although I enjoyed my vacation, but I was glad I was going to back to Saudi. I need to save some money.

Enjoy your day

First of all "el7amdellah 3alsalameh w terga3 belsalameh "

For me it's not wrong to celebrate Valentines day with the one u love, but the over reacting, the showing off and the idea of consider it the only day for love are the not nice thing

About spending money, u remind me with my brothers, ya7aram each vacation the same thing happens to them, yalla t3eesh w tesref, at least you had fun :)

Whisper: yeah, everyone who lives outside Jordan knows what it means to go on a vacation there. And I decided that from now on we'll have our own Love Day, and I'll make it in April. I love this month.

KJ: Don't worry man, I'm coming back to Jordan in mid April, will you be there then??
