DIJ v.3: Optimism?

http://drivinginjordan.blogspot.com/2011/02/optimism.html

Not only did a random toaster end up in my house last night, it's also full of skittles.". I just sat across a desk from John Yoo. A strange experience in itself, he made me realize something over the course of our conversation. I’d gone to see him because I have a legal question about a job. At Boalt he runs a veteran’s legal clinic, and my question fit the nature of both the issues addressed by the clinic. To my surprise, rather than direct my email to a law student, he asked to meet me in person.

DIJ v.3: East Amman: Now Further Away Than Ever

http://drivinginjordan.blogspot.com/2010/01/east-amman-now-further-away-than-ever.html

Not only did a random toaster end up in my house last night, it's also full of skittles.". East Amman: Now Further Away Than Ever. I can’t decide if I’m still jet lagged, or if going and seeing one family in east 3mman last night (and returning home early this morning) is what caused me to wake up at the mid day prayer. My desire to quit coffee has officially failed. I had A LOT last night. I guess, in short, east 3mman has moved to the right, while west Amman has shut its eyes even tighter. Some weird n...

DIJ v.3: New Filling

http://drivinginjordan.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-filling.html

Not only did a random toaster end up in my house last night, it's also full of skittles.". I got a new filling this afternoon. I noticed last month that an existing filling was discolored, and I began to overreact. I have no insurance in the States, but I knew I’d be in Jordan soon, so I decided I’d see if I could have it taken care of here. Good question. The entire bill was 38 JD, or around 60 USD. The fluoride treatment was the most expensive thing at 16 JD. It’s official: I’m a medical tourist. Not m...

DIJ v.3: Berkeley

http://drivinginjordan.blogspot.com/2010/08/berkeley.html

Not only did a random toaster end up in my house last night, it's also full of skittles.". I'm back a little early, and not for reasons I thought I'd be back. Happy, nevertheless. Berkeley is better than I remember it being. Posted by فرانسيس at 22:25. How did we live before Hipster? Oh yeah, we used real crappy cameras that took similar pics.

Beer of the Week | Next Year In

https://nextyearin.wordpress.com/beer-of-the-week

Beer of the Week. Beer of the Week. This is where I used to write about good beers (one of my great passions) every once in a while. Now that I live in Egypt, I’m not really finding beer worth writing about. Some day I will do a comprehensive wrap up of the Egyptian beer scene.

No blacks in the pool | the human province

https://humanprovince.wordpress.com/2010/07/14/no-blacks-in-the-pool

In the dark, words weigh double. July 14, 2010. No blacks in the pool. Last year, I wrote a piece about discrimination in Lebanon against domestic workers in particular, and Africans and Asians more generally, which is acutely illustrated at the swimming pool. Around half of the pools at beach clubs and resorts in Lebanon wouldn’t allow Africans or South and East Asians to swim in their pools. This summer, the same problem is being raised again by IndyAct’s anti-racism movement. After conducting several ...
