Five amazing years I spent in Jordan, and they passed in a blink of an eye. I spent most of them in Irbid, where I went to college. I met so many great people there, and I will never forget those years. This is how I remember Jordan, and this is how I miss Jordan.
below is a photo of my beloved University…

My question is: Where is “home” to you ??
on 13 Mar 2008 at 4:48 pm # Abed Hamdan
Qwaider: but I don’t play cards
Diana: 3omor indeed. Thanks Diana, same to you future mammy
Maioush: eeftt…tell me about it. But I’m toooo optimistic, I always believe that the best is yet to come..im convinced
Noura:
After reading my blog, where do you think my home is ?? I’m curious to know what did you expect…
My home is inside, I carry it with me wherever I go. And I live in a constant state of inner peace
Alhamdolellah

I need to do that too..
Am feeling lost and need to anchor somewhere.. I couldn’t belong here, I can’t go home, I just want to belong for some reason to a place and call it home..
and I didn’t mean anything by my question…I apologize if I offended you in any way..
on 13 Mar 2008 at 7:49 pm # Abed Hamdan
why on earth would ur question offend me ??? lool
you need to figure out your own way in life…my sense of security comes from my belief and religion.
I hope that helps

I like your idea of carrying your home inside. I’ve only moved 2 times in my life and in both cases, I was crushed. When I left Jerusalem, I cried and cried and 5 years later I felt more Canadian than Palestinian. When I left Canada, I cried and cried, and 5 years later I think of myself as Jordanian. Oh. how I dread the next move.

Technooooooo:D wallah 5 years full of memories. O yekhrib fann al falafel ta3 Kafeteryet al C ma azkaha:D
BTW I loved your expression of where Home is to you:)

Hani Obaid:
Mmm, interesting. Perhaps because my identity is associated with religion more than a country, this is why I find it easy and amusing to wander on earth.
Jerusalem, Canada, then Jordan..that’s quite a move you did!! I hope you settled down finally
Ohoud:
LOOL! Mazbot! jad el falafel and shawarma tab3at cafeteria el C mrattabe!! but btw, in the fifth year, things changed! el tebeyye saaar feeha nas aktar wl handaseyye sarat fadye

sorry…i had to comment on this although it’s kind of old
techno is still techno…same food and everything…but now…as u said 6ebbyeh is more populated…it has more than it’s capacity .. almost doubled…it’s sad to step in there and seeing the MASS of students stepping over each other!! still handasieh is better … at least u don’t have to kill so u can go from a place to place there !! i love my uni…although the study there is such a torture and i guess every1 there agrees with me
am glad u still love ur uni and u still miss it
good luck in ur life now man . tc and PeAcE .

Alaa’a (or is it 3eE? lol):
Well, yes I horribly miss Techno.. A LOT ! It’s been almost a year now, and it feels like forever..I really wish to go there for a visit..I am not even in Jordan now, so it’s hard
Yeah, I heard Tebeyyeh is becoming more busy now..Handaseyyeh used to be the fun..I hate tebeyyeh, always hated it…
yeah studying there is Hell..but it’s good trust me, you will be more confident in real life, because you know you can manage working under A LOT of pressure.
*sigh*..
