So there are certain things you learn about a place after spending two months there. Especially in a place as small as Irbid. I haven't spent two months here, but thanks to the class who spent last summer here, I know a few ins and outs of this not-so-magical city.
I know:
1) The location of the only alcohol store
2) The Egyptian who screams at Americans near the alcohol store
3) Not to buy life insurance from him
4) Where to buy rip off DVD's (good quality) for 1JD apiece (the entire Sopranos series is 24 JD, or about 32 dollars)
5) The best schwarma in Irbid
6) The second best schwarma in Irbid (also the cheapest, .60 JD for one)
7) To write off covered women, as I have a 0% chance, and to write off uncovered women, as I have a 1% chance.
Just got back from the DVD store, bought The King's Speech, Pride and Prejudice, Indiana Jones, Inception, and some others. I was in heaven (sort of)
