Roman Amman
Salaam,
Thats that, the last exam is done. Didn't go too well though but thats life. Anyway got my results for the first exam and alhamdulilla did OK - got 60/80 so was more than happy with this.
Below are some pictures of the Roman theatre in downtown Amman. Its pretty much the only historic thing to see in Amman but the view from the top is amazing. Also the bizzarre thing is that although its bang in the middle of downtown Amman, when your inside it feels very eerily quiet and peaceful. The architecture of the place is pretty cool too - on the front (where the "stage" is) there's an "X" on the floor and if you stand on this and speak your voice echoes around the whole stadium but if you speak from anywhere else, your voice doesn't carry..also if you put your mouth against the first "seat" on the first row on the left hand side and speak, your voice carries round to the first seat of the first row on the right hand side (its tough to explain...)
Salaam
ps, the picture where it looks like im trying to hupnotise two local kids is not how it seems, but thought the picture looked quite funny
pps, the other picture is of "da boys" themselves - you wouldn't guess it but their 13 and 14 yrs old respectively..
