So, how was your New Year's Eve? I hope it was good. Over here, it's just another day as the Islamic New Year was the week before.
Well, for me it wasn't so good. I'm not very political, so I'll just say that it's a bit strange to be on this trip with Israel and Gaza being so near and that the people of Jordan are sympathetic to the Palestinians.
Anyway, we did go out to dinner on New Year's Day and I finally got to try the local beer. It wasn't so bad, actually. Scary how much it looks like a can of Coors, isn't it?

Hm - I think that is the only time I have seen a sign like that in Jordan... Usually people just keep things to themselves - many pilgrims from Christianity, Judaism and Islam come through and so they are usually low key (although, yes, it's obvious the general moods).
Actually, we don't do much for New Years unless you are at a club or something like that. Otherwise you are with family and watching tv :) It's celebrated like anywhere else: music and dancing and that sort of thing...
Love your blog of travels! :)
