Amman fast food market by davebizuae
Does someone know the Amman fast food market? Is it worth opening an Asian fast food take away in amman? If somebody has some experience in that business, please give us your opinion. Thanks
Dear Mr. Felipeiz-- I WISH you would open an affordable Asian food restaurant that serves Indo-Pak food. Some things that we find here in the states, we can't find back in Jordan, and it's very frustrating. I crave Keema ... Read More
How true that culture makes marriage collapse by pi2nay
I posted this thread to find out how true that most marriage starts going down hill because of culture. Ok, if marriage is a joint partnership that make decisions together what is that for Jordanian MEN? How true that for them it was wrong? They ...
FuoadsBaby, I think you just described "Men" in general! Not just Arabs. Arab men probably have the family-social network that makes them spend more time with their extended family, but is it really any different than American men "hanging-out" ... Read More

But we can't deny this fact. We can't sugarcoat truths that you and I both know happen in Jordan. Unfortunately, it's something that we can't change... I don't like to feed into this malfunction of the society, but really it's so true. THere is ... Read More

I totally understand where you come from as well Winter.... It's so hard. That's our main reasons for living in Amman and not telling anyone our whereabouts or even where we live, because we just don't want that headache, niether him NOR I. One ... Read More
Lessons Learned......
I've learned some important lessons since I've been back in the States. 1. The separation is destroying my marriage rather then helping it. 2. That this is NOT necessarily THE Land of opportunities at this CURRENT time and situation. I have had ... Read More

East Amman is, imho, a better place to live than West Amman. A much more authentic experience, very much cheaper than West Amman, and proper butchers and greengrocer shops, as opposed to buying the overpriced rubbish available in the supermarkets. ... Read More

Tourism...there are over 108 Tourism Companies in Jordan. Eco-Tourism hmm... I mean Ajloun is wonderful but it's not as marketable I think as the Dead Sea, and Wadi Mujib, and Petra for sure. Focusing on Eco Tourism is a good idea. I'd focus on ... Read More

Not all Jordanians sell themselves for money. My husband doesn't and never ever would. But I have seen many who do sell themselves for money--but they live in Jordan, but they are not Jordanians of origin. But not JORDANIANS- the ones that I know. ... Read More
