Amman is the world capital of amazing social interactions. It is really simple, but amazing!
Jordan appears to be the best place in the world socially. I might be biased, but I can say that I've never been so socially blessed than I have been when I'm visiting Jordan.
Perhaps it will be different if I lived here, I don't know, but judging by the lives of my friends around here, I can say with comfort that social life in Jordan is one of the best in the world!

It's been 11 years since the last time I enjoyed Ramadan in Jordan. The experience is out of this world. It made me remember all my years of growing up in the Arab world and how it shaped my identity.
To be honest, I feel 10 years younger. Suddenly, I'm more alive and vibrant than ever. All because of this amazing Ramadani atmosphere!
I know, the streets are packed, the times are hard, the future is uncertain but for a few brief moments I close my eyes, and drift to the amazing times I had growing up and enjoying the Arab culture at its best. In the holy month of Ramadan.
Jordan has changed a lot since the last time I was here. There are Malls everywhere, there are new streets and new construction everywhere, coffee shops and cafe's appear to have spawned in the most unlikely locations. But the essence of this amazing city didn't change. It still permeates through the dust heavy cool summer breeze.
