I used to live in London and one of the things that i really missed about Jordan while i was there is the change, if i buy something for 10.05 pounds and they have to get the 5 pennies regardless, so i would pay 20 pounds bill for sake of these pennies. If this happened in Jordan, the shop keeper would definitely forgive me and i would do the same if i take a taxi cap.

There is no comparison with sexual harassment between Middle East and west Europe... its 100 time more in Europe... And I guess you have misunderstood the approach for you as western looking woman , people usually believe that western woman is more likely to accept flirting more that Arab one , that's why you feel that its little bit more... but to physical altercations is a really big problem here... so its very rare to happen...

Rachel, I have been living in Jordan for 3 years already- and only from your videos I try to fall in love with this country! You are just so positive about it all the time, you always open good sides of everything- with you and your videos it is easier to cope with all the minuses here. So, when I started watching your channel, every time I was expecting a video about - absense of public transportation, dirtiness of the streets, abuse of foreign women and smth like that. But you have never mentioned any single bad thing- so it is not a surprise, that you will gain such a popularity between Jordanians- it will make them to love their country more!

It is widely believed that Arabic is relatively hard, however I guarantee ya that you would speak perfect arabic within 1 year if you poured an extra effort. I know what does it mean a new language to learn. I'm saying that because I am also keening on to speak perfect German and it is really hard to be fit in any situation in anytime and to have that way of thinking regarding to the culture that you are living in.
