Imagine a day with your email, fb, msn and blogger died on you. It's knn to the max.
And because i don't want UBER girlie blogskin and no, no, no more sucks to be me. haha.

Work has been fine, just that now i am required to travel and it can be quite tiring. I just came back from Jordan last week, my hotel room was upgraded to the business suite for no apparent reason woohoo~! lucky me, good start haha. Next trip going to Qatar and Bahrain. Sorry drake, no yellow pages cause it's in arabic!

I personally like Amman, Jordan. Mebbe i'm sick of seeing all the skyscrapers in Dubai, feels good and peaceful in Jordan. They only have 2 skyscraper in the whole of Jordan and it's actually still under construction. The facade of the houses and buildings are all made of local limestone and i should say i really like the design of the architectures there. Some pictures from the trip:



Technically, Jordan has 7 mountains and the houses are all build on the hills n mountains. Polish your slope parking skill before you attempt to drive in Jordan.
I thought his helmet is quite cool! traffic police in the city
selling flowers off the road

80% of Jordanians are Muslims
Remaining 20% are Christians and other religions
Population of Amman is about 4 million. More than 50% lives in houses like this
The rich hideouts
The Roman Theater
Reminds me of the Gladiator!
bird-eye view of the theater
heritage museum within the roman theater
showcasing the costumes wore by women during the different eras. They look creepy!
bird-eye view of downtown Jordan from the Citadel


The Umayyad Mosque at the Citadel

The Temple of Hercules.


A place worth visiting, very rich in culture but due to time constraints i didn't manage to visit the other attractions like the Dead Sea, Red Sea, Petra which are situated out of Amman. I would definitely go back again!
