Friday Market

Alright, I haven't posted in a while so this is gonna be a quick update of the happenings here in Amman. School's going well, I have a whole lot of work this weekend which is not going to be fun but this morning, my host dad and I are gonna meet up with some friends of mine at the Friday Market. While there, we are going to purchase the entire Bedouin get-up for our homestays in the Badia in a week. This will include the kafia and egal (the thing on the head and the band that goes around the thing on the head), the dish-desh, pants, and jacket combo, the special shoes they wear, and if we can find one, a Bedouin knife, just because. All of this will probably cost me about 10 to 20 JD or about 15 to 30 dollars. Unbelievable deals at the markets. Things can be expensive here but that's why I prefer shopping at the markets or sketch parts of town, prices are already really low and you can barter your little heart out. Last night, we went out to a bar and club, danced and had a great time. A guy from a magazine even took our picture at the bar, the name of the magazine translates to "Our Night" so we'll be looking for that issue next month. I'll update you guys again before heading out to the Badia.
