That big flag in Amman... is it new?

The last I was in Jordan was in 2001-2002 and I don't remember seeing it?

It looks HUGE BTW!

Here go some of my questions, my curiosities one might say. Do women in Jordan have to wear the veil? How is life in Jordan and how are the people? Can a foreigner adapt his or herself quickly to Jordan? (With laws, customs, etc.)

No, women do not have to wear veils in jordan. Jordan enjoys a very open and social society. Jordan might not be the best place for a foreigner to live in (compared to the gulf), but it enjoys a lot more touristic sites. There are a handfull of activities you could do there on a vacation. wether it was floating on the dead sea (lowest point on earth), snorkling and water sports in the red sea (dubbed as the world best site for snorkling), camping in Wadi Rum, seeing antient Roman sites such as Jerash (famous for its yearly cultural events), or enjoying eco-tourism at its best in Dana Natural Reseve, and stay at the worlds oldest village. You can expect the Touristic Services to be v-good in jordan as to thats where most of the economy of the country comes from. heres a clip about jordan, I'll try to find a better one.
