Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن
http://kristina-jordan.blogspot.com/2010/03/hijab-is-headscarf-that-women-in-middle.html
Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Saturday, March 27, 2010. Hijab is the headscarf that women in the middle east ware. I think its time to give some. Induction to the head covering topic, that’s normally the first question that people have about middle east. And I am definitely not an expert, so nothing here is theoretical truth, just my observations and notes from discussion with the local girls. Do I have to cover my head? So why do girls cover? Don’t really have a good answer to that....

http://kristina-jordan.blogspot.com/2010/02/food.html
Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Big part of a cultural experience is always the food. And I have to say the food over here is pretty delicious. In fact it has been so good that I have over eaten it. Our first months we could have hummus and falafel for every meal and be so happy about it. At that point I didn’t understand the locals, how can you not want falafel for breakfast everyday? So here is the break down of the top Jordanian/Middle- Eastern foods:. 6 Mansef - L...

Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Monday, June 21, 2010. Since the most important Estonian holiday is coming up, its time to educate the world about Estonian traditions :). Here is a snap shot written by Estonian comedian Rohke Debelak, about what happens around Estonia every year on the night of 23rd of June. We have two especially significant periods every year. One is Midsummer – St. John’s Day. This is a huge celebration. It is an ancient tradition that any Estonian. Area: 92 300 km2.

Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن: Jerusalem and Bethlehem
http://kristina-jordan.blogspot.com/2010/01/jerusalem-and-bethlehem.html
Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. On Christmas we traveled to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Left early on the 24th to cross the border from the King Hussein bridge. Which is the only border where you have a chance to gross to Palestine without getting the Israel stamp in your passport. Once you have this stamp in your passport, no other middle eastern country will allow you in. In middle east Israel is not accepted as a country. There is one country, Palestine. The whole old...

Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن: INSHALLAH
http://kristina-jordan.blogspot.com/2010/01/inshallah.html
Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Monday, January 4, 2010. There is a phrase in Arabic that is used very often here – Inshallah – If Allah wishes so. But the more important thing is that the ways of using this phrase is a perfect example of the culture. There are different occasions when this phrase is used:. 1 The most logical one: It promised to be sunny tomorrow - Answer: Inshallah! 2 The bit annoying one: AT work: Can we have a meeting today about our project? 8211; Answer: Inshallah!

Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن: World cup the Jordanian way
http://kristina-jordan.blogspot.com/2010/08/world-cup-jordanian-way.html
Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Friday, August 6, 2010. World cup the Jordanian way. World cup in Jordan seems to be the biggest festival/income source of the year. Everyone has an opinion, no mather if you are 8 or 80 years old. And everyone is eager to show out their preferences. Which means the business is good! At first when I heard that, the thought was…well who would pay that? Surprisingly you even have to book places in advance, since they get full every night! But its not only about mon...

Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن: Praying
http://kristina-jordan.blogspot.com/2009/12/praying.html
Minu Jordaania - My Jordan - بلدي الأردن. Sunday, December 6, 2009. Something interesting I have seen around here and have been thinking of writing about. Just before I say anything…its nothing that disturbs me, I actually find it kind of nice…just different enough to write about. People pray where ever they feel like. You just role down your small carpet and do it. Some of the examples:. I am sorry I cant illustrate this post with some interesting photos, but I figured its not nice to take pictures of p...
