top 10 hard things to get used too

These are the top 10 hardest things to get used to in the Middle East:

1. being stared at (we are the strange looking ones here, everyone stares, no matter where we go)

2. the difference with men and women (men do not talk to women, women do not talk to men, men do not even look me in the eye)

3. the driving (its insane, no lights, no lines on the road, no stop signs, just a horn)

4. the food (stu ate fried lambs brain)

5. the smells (smoking is allowed anywhere and everywhere, even in stores in the mall, people are smoking)

6. the noises (call to prayer broadcast over the entire city 5 times a day)

7. the houses (no houses just insanely huge apartments built one on top of the other all the way up the mountain)

8. the laundry (no dryers exist in Jordan, everything is hung out to dry)

9. the police (they are all carrying machine guns)

10. the temperature (its warm, and plants are growing beautifully in February!!)
