Jordan First

Happy Independence Day

05.25.06

On this day we should forget all our worries, troubles and concerns! And all what we should think about is our beloved Jordan! This is a day that gives us a chance to think and ask ourselves; what can we do for Jordan? Let’s just start thinking about others and again start thinking about Jordan!

Let the celebrations begin!

ma3ak bareezeh?

05.25.06

“Ma3ak bareezeh?”….. Sounds familiar?
I expect to hear this word when the fare on the taxi is lets say 1.60 JDs and the taxi driver want to save me from the mess of all the change!! but to hear this on one of the classiest 5 stars hotels in the dead sea.. now that’s a surprise!!! I don’t mean any disrespect to taxi drivers but HELLO!!! I am in a 5 stars hotel for god’s sakes! I am being charged a little more than 200$/night just for the room! The reason of my existence in this place is for me not to hear the word bareezeh!!! Please just give me all the change you got! I love my pocket full of coins, I can’t walk without hearing the sound of shlooneh and 3asharat in my pocket!! Yup dude that’s my problem!!

How come no one ever asked me if I have a dime when I get lets say $3.10 bill in the US? I don’t want to go through the 4 pockets in my pants and the 2 pockets in my jacket and the pocket in my shirt searching for the bareezeh so you’ll give me 1 JDs masek or 1/2 JD in one coin!! Just hand me all the change you got!!

Fifa World Cup 2006 Predictions Contest

05.22.06

While Germany’s Fifa World Cup 2006 is getting closer, this unique world cup predictions contest from Al Ghad newspaper for all soccer fans is about to start. If you’d like to enter the contest, what you basicly need to do is make up your own Soccer dream team out of all Germany’s World Cup players that you predict will score the most goals in the upcoming world cup, where you get 4 points for every goal a Defender position player that you selected in your dream team scores, 3 points when a Midfielder position player scores, and 2 points when a Forward position player scores. I’d like to tag all of JordanPlanet soccer fans males and females to join the predictions contest, even if it was just for fun by writing about it in your blog, so we can see who’s the best predictor among the planet when the world cup is all over, and who knows, someone among JordanPlanet bloggers might win a Peugeot 307, 207 or one of Al Ghad’s prizes for the contest. I’m putting my hopes up on Brazil to win their 6th world cup with Ronaldinho, and on Holland to stop being unlucky.
P.S. Al Ghad’s Dream Team Contest website doesn’t work on Mozilla Firefox.

And here’s my dream team for Germany’s World Cup 2006:

Forwards: Ronaldo(Brazil), Ron Van Nistelrooij(Holland)
Midfielders: Micheal Ballack(Germany), Zenedine Zidane(France), Frank Lampard(England), Mark Van Bommel(Holland)
Defenders: Roberto Carlos(Brazil), Alessandro Nesta(Italy), Sergio Ramos(Spain), Roberto Ayala(Argentina)
(By the way, it has to be a 2-4-4 formation)
