i had been meaning to go to Zarka for a few days now,for no reason but just to visit. i stayed there a few years ago.its situated about 30 minutes outside of Amman,its one of Jordan's biggest cities.i thought if i went there i'd possibly bump into some old faces,get a chance to catch up and also practice some arabic,the Zarka dialect.
so this morning,Michael's wife was saying how mike's dad liked a certain picture they had sent him,so i was telling them that they should also make a blog for Noor and invite me to it so that i can see her progress too.but then i learned that their photoshop wasn't working and they wanted to use it to make the blog look extra cool.and they didn't know where to purchase it from,so this was the perfect excuse for me to go to Zarka because i know a few shops there that sell software programs.
so after asr,at around 4 we had lunch,pasta alfredo,my sister had given me some easy to prepare ones,and i asked mike's wife if she could make it for us,so today she prepared that.it was delicious,i love alfredo,its so creamy.
i got ready after lunch and left for zarka.i walked for a bit then caught a taxi to Duwar Madina.from there i jumped onto a service taxi,which is your normal yellow cab,but you share it with 3 other guys,each person pays a Dinar.its better than the microbus because its faster and cleaner.
the taxi stopped at Mjamma3 Jdeed,and from there i took a walk to the souq.
the souq there is big and full of life,but crowded and smelly is something that you must expect and deal with,its all good.
i found the software after a while and then i left to come back here because i was hungry and desperate for the toilet.i walked back to the Mjumma3 and searched for a taxi but none of them were service taxis so i just got onto a microbus,which took forever to leave because they have to fill all the seats before they leave,so after 10 minutes we departed.35 minutes later i was back at Duwar Madina and made my way to the house,any other time i wouldn't have minded walking because its only about 1 or 2 kilometeres away but today i was so desperate that i had to get a taxi.but obviously i couldn't find one,so i ended up walking up all the way,i felt like i was going to explode.i ran into the bathroom and was crying from the relief i felt.
i then got into the room,read that long email,called you,was so good talking to you for more than 10 minutes,wAllah.
after that i went down and bought some z3tar,labneh,zeitoon,khubz and mawz.felt so traditional,i love it.
had that for dinner and mike's wife also prepared liver curry and rice.i munched that afterwards,i was nice and stuffed.
i chilled with noor for about 15 minutes then she got a bit sleepy so she was taken away.and i immediately got down to this..
