The last few weeks were filled with events and accidents that forced me to write such a post especially after a very weird meeting I had with someone who drove me nuts yesterday.

Earlier today I was sitting with my friend Nora over food and argileh when we started to talk about some past experiences, she is an ex-Aramex employee who now works with Jordan River Foundation, I was introduced to her when she started to use Nakhweh as the very first adopter when it was the buggiest website on the internet and she really had the passion for it, that’s why she’s one of my favorite. Nora, when she talked about some funny stories during her days at Aramex, brought this story back to my mind and made me write this well-deserved thank you message to the most supportive team on earth.
During my visit to Egypt two weeks ago to attend the regional panel of Ashoka, many things happened and encouraged me to write this post. I used to get one question from everyone in Cairo, “how’s the situation in Jordan?” sometimes it’s being asked differently as in “how’s the revolution in Jordan?” definitely such questions didn’t surprise me; the norm in Arabia now is to have a revolution, otherwise we’re behind. My default answer was “No Jordan is totally different”. Usually I’m not a fan of politics and I don’t really understand that dilemma and I didn’t actually want to get into an endless conversation to explain why Jordan is different.
