Spring Rain

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is spring rain. It's so refreshing, and I love listening to thunder- the phrase "spring rain" sounds and even smells super romantic. 

However, it's not really all that same in Jordan. I love this land of Jordan, but the city planning here is not in its top quality. You cannot walk around in Jordan because sidewalks are non existent. Actually, nobody walks around. There are potholes everywhere, and this place has no drainage system whatsoever. This week was living in a giant mud pool. More so than the rain in and of itself, you get wet because of the water sprayed by the cars passing by you. Therefore, this week was not my happiest week. Wet and cold, not my top choice. 

OOOH oooh ohohoohhoohoh this was another funny thing that I found hilarious this week. Actually, I found this out a month ago, but I'm still going to write about it.
McDonald's is a place that I go when I'm feeling rich. A place of free wifi and gourmet American food up in here. The price is around what you would expect- similar to the states, but everything else here is so cheap ( I can get shwarma sandwich for less than a dinar, or a falefel sandwich for .35 JD, whereas a Mcdonalds sandwich would be upwards from 2 JD). McDonald's is perceived as the cool place where all of the college students go to work part time jobs or to hang out. I see people going on dates to McDonald's. I know, right? Hilarious.
