301. There is a store in old Amman called The Jordan Thinner Factory -- obviously paint thinner, but really funny in English.

302. There is no sugar sold in the Sugar Market in downtown, but there is a perfumer from Grasse, who obviously collects oils.

303. Matt and I walked on a street today that totally encases a river. You never see it.

304. If you go to Hashem's restaurant in downtown Amman and order everything (literally), drinking two bottles of water and drinking three cups of tea total, your total bill will be 5JD (about $7.50). My kind of restaurant -- falafal, bread, foul (bean dip), hummus and french fries.

305. The clothing shops downtown also seem to sell mannequins, leading to the creepy question: who's buying all these mannequins, and what are they doing with them?

306. There is a side street downtown called Hammam Bridge. The Hamman is a Turkish bath, and this side street has a tiny little one just as you turn onto it.

307. We found a fish place today with live lobsters. I asked the guy where the lobsters were from, and he said, "Canada --they are missing the Olympics!"

308. The lobsters travel in insulated little boxes. I wonder if they get little lobster passports with visas?

309. Abu Ali's book kiosk today featured Saddam Hussein, Courtney Cox, Mahmoud Darwish, and a magazine with my favorite headline ever, "Make this Christmas Arabic!"

310. Walking with Matt, anywhere, for any reason, is one of my favorite things EVER.
