So today I woke up in my hotel in Amman. My alarm clock didn't go off on time so I am forced to make my own breakfast. I went through the kitchen and found very little food of substance so I decided to throw on my kufiya and kilt and I did my hair so I could properly have all my swag on. I went outside the hotel and trying calling a cab but no one was stopping for me. I saw a kid sitting on the sidewalk with a boombox so I had him play some rocking jams and I started fist pumping. This finally caught a taxi cab's attention so as he slowed down to find out what I was up to, I hopped in and demanded he take me to the dukkaneh where I bought some corn flakes (really just some Fruity Pebbles) I bought some Nestle milk powder and I made my way back home. As I got back to the hotel, I got some chilled water I kept in my fridge and I mixed it with the milk powder (shaken, not stirred). Then I got out my fruity pebble corn flakes and I poured it into a bowl with the milk. Then I realized I didn't have any utensils to eat my cereal. But after rummaging through my handy dandy fanny-pack, I found my handy dandy chopsticks. So I used my handy dandy chopsticks to eat my handy dandy fruity pebbles corn flakes with my Nestle milk powder until I was full. Then I realized that this has pretty much taken up my whole morning and that I was going to be late for my classes at the University. But then I remembered I'm a Senior so I decided to go back to sleep. Thanks for hearing out all my stories, my handy dandy diary. I knew I could trust you.

JORDANIAN WOMEN ARE HOT!!
Just like any where else across the world, women are always the most beautiful sight in society. Jordan is no exception.
FOOOOOOD!!!!
Like many Middle Eastern countries, Jordanians are well known for using a variety of spices in their meals. Popular meals include cooked lamb with rice served with a tasty side of hummus. Ful Mudammas is a popular dish of beans, vegetables and olive oil and is quite tasty for breakfast.
Another signature dish in Jordan is Mansef, but I don't care too much for it.
A very popular dessert is Kanafe and is best served hot on a cold day.
