My Beloved Country

Well, I live in Jordan, Jordan is a poor country in the Middle East, but it has its own characteristics and features.
Common Features with other ME countries "Governmental Actions, Arabic Language, and narrow thinking"

Specific features are:
1- People are always on the edge, mad, and sad.
2- People looks to Improve the Quality of Life, by improving the quality and the quantity of food, that's it!!
3- Low Salaries, 400JD (575$) is considered low, 70% of employees 100JD up to 300JD (145$ - 430$).
4- Government does NOT respect the intelligence of people.
6- Known for being the "Angry People".
8- Bad streets, bad transportation system, few public vehicles.
9- Employees are one of the following:
a- The one who does all the work
b- The one who gives his/her work to the one who does all the work
10- Technology and computers are something beautiful to talk about and to have in the office but who uses them!!.
11- Driving license in Jordan is a "License to kill".
12- Jordanian people motto: "When tomorrow comes we think for tomorrow".
13- "Circle of trust" of both parties doesn't each other.
14- Jordan for people is like hell -> faster you get out less you get hurt.
15- We are for Jordan like "The Human Beings" for the Matrix.

Regardless of what I said, I still love my country. I have good things that I still remember for example ... aaaah ... emmm ... emmm ... aaaah ... ... ... ...

Trix (Cards Game)

I used to go out with friends every Thursday to play cards (usually Trix) and there is one of my friends who is named "Nilhan", this friend doesn't like to lose, and if he loses he needs to drink 2-3 pills of Panadol because of the headache. I love when I play against him, since the game is so hot and since he is a bad loser and doesn't have "sport spirit" his loss comes the joy for me and I enjoy every second I spend in teasing him and making his headache become stronger and stronger :-)

Other friends are cool, Fares usually starts a fight about anything and may ruin the whole night because he is always stressed and cannot relax and enjoy the game.

Qariab is calm, cool, and he gets bored very quickly and usually doesn't bend to the storm when it comes and he back talks to Fares :-(

Rami doesn't think about anything but cars, he bought a car, or he sold a car, he wants a car with such and such specs and engine, CRAZY about cars but he enjoys the game since he usually stays at work till 11 PM everyday and on Thursday he comes to play, enjoy and remove some of the work stress.

There is also Zaid who usually comes late and sometimes play, usually when playing with him the game takes longer since he cannot decide fast and usually we forget him and he wins!!
