Arabic is the primary language spoken by everyone, but many people know a little bit of English as well.
The Jordanian dinar is used here. Five Jordanian dinars are equal to $7.05 in the U.S. Here in Jordan, we use paper bills and interesting looking coins too.
A bottle of water might cost half a dinar in one store and 1.50 dinars in another. Sometimes you have to barter with store owners to get the price down.
This week, I ate some delicious rice with vegetables that were mixed with labneh (a thin, sour yogurt). This is a very common thing to eat here and very delicious. The word for delicious in Arabic is zeky.
Every day, I hear Arab music playing very loudly from the cars in the streets. The music is very lively with a fun beat.
This weekend, I took a bus across the border into Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. I had a lot of fun exploring the old cities and seeing very old ruins. The border crossing was very long and difficult, but I am so happy that I got to see such beautiful cities.
