HOW DO YOU FIND JORDAN?

Inevitably, whenever you meet someone here in Jordan, one of the first questions they will ask you is, "How do you find Jordan?" My standard answer is that I like it very much. The typical Jordanian reaction is surprise followed almost immediately by a look of pride. Jordan is by no means an easy country to live in. There are lots of things to get used to. But at the end of the day, it is a safe place with lots of opportunity, lots of good people who will go out of their way to help you, and also a place full of history and fascinating geography. So to me, Jordan is much like wine; definitely better after it sits for at least a year.
