The main languages spoken here are Arabic and English. Since it is the most widely spoken language in the world, English is something you will always find spoken by at least some of the people you meet here.
The currency here is Jordanian dinar. One United States dollar (1 USD) is worth 0.71 Jordanian dinar.
A bottle of water costs around 0.50 dinar, also called nuss dinar, which directly translates to 'half a dollar.'
The best meal I had this week was breakfast in northern Jordan, in a city called Ajloun. They gave us pita bread with several different dips and spreads, galayet bandora, a tomato dish, foul,'which is a bean dip, apricot jelly, omelettes, olives, tomatoes, cucumber and labneh, a type of yogurt.
Since it is currently Ramadan and Jordan is a Muslim country, there was not much music for me to listen to this week. (In Islam, it is said that the more you listen to the Quran--the Islamic Holy Book--the more "rewards" you get in your religion.) Some Arab artists that I love listening to are Amr Diab and Fairouz.
