Something I regret immensely about my blogging while in Jordan is that I did not do a very good job of showing you guys what Jordan is all about apart from the touristy stuff. Either things seemed too normal or the situation was too awkward to warrant me documenting it. I have thus promised myself to do a better job of photographing ordinary things in Tunisia. However, before I post more about what’s going on here, I have a little selection of miscellaneous “normal” pictures from around Jordan. Here’s a flashback for ya:
I think I’ve posted pictures like this before, but here’s one to set the stage… Just one of the many views of the buildings upon buildings in Amman.
Close to downtown Amman, I captured a man taking a break from selling melons.
My old neighborhood. There were a lot of cats in Amman, too. But not as many as in Tunis.
A car at the end of the famous Rainbo Street, popular with locals and tourists.
Some people I saw having a rooftop conversation from an outdoor restaurant on Rainbo St. I’m kind of invasive.
Outskirts of Madaba.
Some more pictures from As-Salt. That picture featuring a truck isn’t just any regular truck…it’s a truck carrying propane tanks and it plays music similar to the ice cream trucks you might hear at home! They are all over Jordan, from what I heard. This particular truck was playing “Happy Birthday.”
Some pictures of an art gallery type thing in Amman. This particular room featured Naji al-Ali cartoons!
