It has been a great week filled with everything Christmassy!! I love being here at this time. I love being so close to the Holy Land. The Christmas Story always enchanted me as a child with Mary, Joseph and the new baby boy. I would love to be able to pop over to Bethlehem this Christmas....maybe next year :-)
I have been to 2 bazaars this week. One at school and one at an Orthodox Church. It was wonderful. There were so many goodies and unique crafts there. I even found the ear rings that I LOVE! In New Zealand, there was this shop where I used to get all my ear rings for about $12-$15, but here they cost 2JD!!! That's so cheap - I bought 3 pairs!
I never expected Amman to be so Christmassy and I am so glad it is because I love this time of year. It is cold outside, yet the sun is still shining. It is just lovely!

| This was at the Orthodox Church's Bazaar in Abdoun. Crazy to think that this event took place about 2 hours from where we are now. |

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am Susie, a Taiwanese student who used to live in Amman! Just bumped into your blog and I am surprised that you both had lived in Taiwan as well!
Your stories just made me think of my life back in Jordan...How I miss JORDAN!! Looking forward to hearing from more new posts from you!
and Merry Christmas to you in advance!:)
Hi Susie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading our blog. Where in Taiwan do you live? We live in Kaohsiung. I was there for four years and Robert for three. It is a very special place for us! Merry Christmas to you too :)
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeletewow, you both spent quite a long time in Taiwan!! Why did you decide to move to Amman in the end?
I am living in Taipei, but I used to live in Kaohsiung for half year when I was a high school student. It is really a nice, warm place! :P
