After 3 long hard days, its time to head back to Holland. That's tomorrow! Jordanian that I worked with were vey nice and helpful. Most were curious where I am from - are you from China? Japan? Korea? NO NO. The mention of Brunei suddenly sparked life like I was a long lost friend. Jerussalem is only 45 minutes drive. There is a lot to see and learn here. May be next time.... hopefully soon!
I got this image from one of the guy here. The Jordanian monarchy was set up in 1921 by the help of the British. Abdullah I was made the first king of the new Hashemite dynasty. The dynasty originates in the Hejaz, a region in the northwest of present-day Saudi Arabia. Photo: names from right: Sherif Hussein, Abdullah I (1921-51), King Talal I (1951-52), King Hussein I (1952-99) and King Abdullah II (1999-present).
