					<description>Ah, I didn't know that the "special night" included a sexy waitress! ;) In the U.S., there is a chain of restaurant/bar/clubs called &lt;a HREF="http://www.originalhooters.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Hooters&lt;/A&gt;. The young ladies there are famous for their tiny outfits and how they fit into them! 

You bought marbles at a library? Did they have any books there?

Hey, I want to see the ugly pottery! ;)

Glad you felt like telling us more about your trip! :)</description>

					<description>@ David: Well, actually, I think the night that &lt;B&gt;you&lt;/B&gt; phantasized into being special happened about a week after this one, so :P
Incidentally, no, they didn't have books, lol.

@ sis: I wanna see Bogdan! *pouts*

					<description>Hmm intresting, u know what u really did the right choice not getting inside that Pub (Rouge) I've been told that it can become very nasty inside and I hope that Anarki's friend has been THANKED properly for his advice...
Note: unfortunatly Jordan is not the right place for book hunting if u r looking for other than Arabic books.
Take care...</description>

					<description>@ sis: Pfffffffffffffffft.

Well, Kyubai, if you read pt.1 you'll see that we were inside one of the nasty places two days earlier. But judging from how things were on the outside terrace of the Rouge I'd venture the guess that the inside was better than that other place.
Oh, yeah, he "thanked" him indeed; the rest of the convo was along the lines of: "Well, that's exactly why I go there, cos the sexy waitress brings the drinks." - "Well, duh, we went there with a lady..." - "Whoops." ;)

Oh, I dunno, will it spoil part 3 if I mention already that I did find a lot of good books later on?</description>

					<description>It sounds like a Jordanian franchise of Hooters would do quite well! ;)

I guess I will have to wait for part three to hear about the "special night". :P</description>

					<description>Great post, Mel.

Okay, so what's up with this?

&lt;I&gt;"That was weird" in a slowly-returning-to-regular-level-of-coolness tone of voice.&lt;/I&gt; 

What guy doesn't like to be hugged by a pretty girl?

"Knocking on Heaven's Door"...I like, I like.

Shhhh...don't tell anyone I said this, but much better than "Smelly Cat".  You'd have to spike my Pepsi to get me to appreciate the finer points of that song. :) 

I will forgive Nabil his questionable taste in music, though. :)

					<description>"I don't remember how that topic came up, but at some point the Kid asked aNarki if Kurdish was difficult to learn.."
i guess we were talking about languages taught at school, french spanish etc, and i mentioned i'd studied Kurdish for one year in junior-high, and that now i cant understand the meanings of the words, but can read and write the "voicing" of the words still (Kurdish is written using arabic letters, but with some differences in the way a pronounced word is written down: for example, "Kurd" is spoken and written as it is in arabic, كرد ,but, in Kurdish, its closer to "Koord", كورد)
etc etc
but i DO remember it being easy to grasp!
;p

					<description>Lynnette, we'd have to ask the Kid whether he enjoyed the hug or not. Thing is Iraqi gals don't go hugging Iraqi guys, so he was taken by surprise, poor man.

And you can say anything you like here, in fact I don't even &lt;B&gt;like&lt;/B&gt; Friends, so go ahead and dis (diss?) the whole show!

David, blah, blah, blah. :P

aNarki, yes, but why were you discussing that? :P

Probably because I wasn't contributing to the conversation enough, lol.

Pity.

Is the Kid back in Amman?  I was thinking he was, but Indigo was thinking he was still back in Baghdad.  Hopefully I'm right.
