Summertime and thus low season :DOh :offtopic: Read More

Glad to see that you have a sense of humour, I was just having fun no offence intended so I will stop bashing your head, it might ruin your hair. lol :D Read More

I think the word you mean is "assessing" not "profiling" so laugh as you wish. Feel free to point out any of my wonderful errors just for your record. After all I never claimed to be perfect, I guess that's just the way ... Read More

I'm sure the Arabic coffee is mud scraped from the bottom of a river :huh: Read More

PayPal is the best way the banks are just money thief's and Western Union is full of scammers. Read More

Jordan airline operators all are a rip off, as someone above said go to the Opodo.co.uk website. they are one of the best and cheapest available. You can choose your flight from their website and pay online, they will send you your electronic flight ... Read More

Oh and before anyone points out that I am replying to a old post....I am already aware. Thanks. Just decided that this forum needs some signs of life. Read More

Sorry, but you are not "fluent English". As for being a "proof reader", you really should try proofreading what you have just wrote. The way in which you addressed Sarah in your reply is not correct and English always begins ... Read More

I totally agree, especially on the independence part, Had to smile when you mentioned visiting your husbands childhool friend and practically sitting there for a couple of hours with his wife just smiling at each other, I've been in that ... Read More

Just wondering why being married to a local man could be a problem? in what way. share your experience with us. I'm Married to a local man and feel the opposite, We share our cultures, I never expect him to live my way of life and he never ... Read More

Why do you say that you are not interested in "short term expats"? Is there something wrong with them? I find that whether people have moved here for the rest of their lives or are just here for a week makes no difference, If we spent our ... Read More

Primadonna that isn't true, I have met a lot of Jordanians that speak English fluently. English has been taught in schools here for years. My husband speaks perfect English and is very fluent, in fact he sounds better then me and I am British. ... Read More

I don't think that it is easy for a Pakistan national to obtain a visa in Jordan . Check the embassy though just to be sure. You would need a valid reason such as a Job or be married to a Jordanian. Good luck! Read More

Hi Priscilla It depends where you are moving from and what kind of weather conditions you are used to also which part of Jordan you will be staying in. I'm used to the wet and windy British weather with mild summers, so I find that over in ... Read More

I know this is a long shot and before you tell me to post in the ad section I am going to ask here first as this is about crafting after all. Has anyone got a sizzix big shot machine that they want to sell. the only place I have found that sell them ... Read More

Personally I don't see that Jordanians are educated enough regarding the issues of environmental issues. It would be a good start if schools were to fit it into their curriculum as a good start. I see rubbish thrown on the sides of the roads, ... Read More

Haha The world is full of strange people, That's funny though. I think some of them that try to get attention by sending those sort of messages must be either very lonely with too much time on their hands or are so totally in love with ... Read More

Hi Sevia and welcome I wouldn't worry too much about the dress here in Jordan. times are changing fast and you now see a lot of women and girls of all ages wearing jeans and vest tops especially in the shopping malls. But I think that really ... Read More

I think it's a great idea, to have somewhere for the ladies to meet, have fun and keep fit at the same time.. Sounds good fun. Lets just hope that the Jordan forum perv doesn't turn up disguised as a lady and wearing a grass skirt haha. Read More

Sounds like great fun Kate, hope you find lots of people to join you although personally it's not for me (I'd cause an earthquake) :lol: Have fun. Read More

Just a little bit to think about ladyluck13. If you were the one getting unsolicited, unwanted, annoying, messages seeking dates or even outrightly seeking sexual relationships from people you didn't even know; wouldn't you appreciate every ... Read More

Thanks, but I know how the moderation team works as I have been running my own site for a few years. I'm not complaining as I do what works best for me and that is block them. I can't speak for others. I was simply replying to a post that ... Read More

Not complaining, just decided to join in this discussion, I just block them and that's the end of them. After all they are harmless if ignored. I would never dream of replying to them as it just gives them the attention they crave. Just find it ... Read More

Oh God, he sounds just like that same idiot that sent me a message saying "hi, I have been waiting all my life for you my dear, can you call me so we can get to know each other better & maybe marriage", Then after all his drooling and ... Read More

I have to say that look familiar to me lol. I have to ask you if you're from the UK and did you ever teach mathematics at any high schools in the 80s? as you look very much like my old maths teacher :unsure Read More

No offence, but im sure the lady was asking about Indians in Amman as she appears to be Indian herself I think that some people that are moving to a completely different country where the culture is all new to them find the whole prospect rather ... Read More

Very romantic, this person should write a novel, I was hoping he would have had a happier ending. I mean, she being a married millionaires and him having such a fond passion for white mushrooms with red spots and being an avid noodle muncher sounds ... Read More

That's funny, but true about the silly messages, I had a rant on here not too long back about the same thing. I vividly remember one of the messages I received starting with something like "Hi I have been waiting for you all my life my ... Read More

Hiya Fred, I used to live there a few years ago, cracking market. I'm from Donny so just down the road. Do you ever go back there or plan to go back at some point? Have a good weekend and take care. Read More

I personally disagree as I believe friends can be of any age, colour, religion etc. I have some really good friends that are 20 years older and also some that are much younger than myself, If I meet people and feel comfortable around them, I really ... Read More

I really doubt jobs as being one of the main reasons for coming to Jordan when the wages and working environment in most places are not good. Jordan is one of the most expensive middle eastern countries to live and the wages are very low. Read More

Hiya Fred I just noticed that your little flag at the bottom of your post says "England, Yorkshire" so just thought I'd say "Hey up! as I am also from Yorkshire (born & bred) lol. I've been over here in Amman a few years ... Read More

Oh don't get me started about the driving and road conditions in Jordan lol. for starters there is way too many vehicles and terribly designed roads (if that's what you can call most of them). The lack of respect is totally stupid and as ... Read More

You're welcome kip. just another thought, have you tried eBay? I tend to get things off there sent over (depending on seller) they will usually ship over here. My biggest problem so far has been the fact that we only have a PO Box shipping ... Read More

Excellent Post As a westerner living here in Amman I find it somewhat disturbing the amount of families that have a maid (SLAVE). I find it kind of disgusting that Jordanian women cannot clean their own homes and look after their kids themselves. I ... Read More

Ikea don't sell them, I had a look just in case I came across one while in there shopping. I will keep my eyes open for one and post on here for the lady looking for one if I happen to find it. Good luck. Amazon are a waste when they won't ... Read More

Thanks' Primadonna, I guess Swiffer is just this particular brand, but there are other brands available here in Jordan. They sell similar in Drahgmah (however that is spelt), but they are not the same as the one in photos, but would get the same ... Read More

Just out of total curiosity, what is a "Swiffer"? lol :unsure Read More

dont need it , i dont care about islamic divorce , i need him to sign autralian court papers, i just ask if its any chance to get his copy of new contract marriage so i can show in court here that he is already married second time thats all . i lost ... Read More

Hi Marta As you married your Jordanian husband over in Australia and not Jordan, then you should first report him to the Police. Under Australian Law it is against the Law to be married to more than one person at a time unlike in Jordan where men ... Read More

I see what you mean, but an expat is someone that has moved here to Jordan and after all this forum is called "Expat.com" lol. Just find it quite irritating when I log in here and find my message box full of messages from Jordanian men ... Read More

Hi, I am English and can help you learn the language when I am online. Please feel free to ask any questions. ;) Read More

Hi there Kilted drummer and welcome to Amman, to be honest, I thought your were a scotsman with your user name lol. I myself don't watch football, but I'm sure that someone will come along on this forum soon that can help you. Hope you find lots to ... Read More

No offence but I thought this whole forum was for expats that have moved to Jordan, not jordanians that have always lived here?. Just a thought! Maybe I am wrong??? Read More

Hi Kentish Lady, I too am from the UK and have been here in Amman for approx 2 1/2 years. I feel exactly the way you do. I thought at first it would pass, but it hasn't. I don't drive and can't speak Arabic. Living with my husbands family doesn't ... Read More
