Surprising Jordan
by Hossein Shahidi09-Jan-2012
Life is a surprise, filled with other surprises. Fortunately, some of these are happy ones. Such was my one-year residence in Jordan, 2010-11, teaching journalism at a newly established graduate school, Jordan Media Institute. Taking part in such an innovative project and working with students eager to learn and experiment was in itself a great pleasure. What made my time in Jordan much more enjoyable was the discovery of a country about which I had known little >>> more

Jordan's progress
by Jahanshah Javid on Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:33 AM PSTThanks Hossein. I very much enjoyed the photos and your introduction to Jordan. Just happens that I'm reading Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad" and I'm at the part where he reaches the Holy Land. He's brutally honest in his descriptions of every country he has stepped foot on. Some 150 years or so after the book was published, seems like Jordan has made considerable progress. Still it's no Latin America where I'm right now (currently Buenos Aires). You MUST come visit :)
