The posters on the wall are of land forms in southern Utah. The black box in the middle of the room is a heater. The room is very clean, just cluttered. See, from my observations, I am starting to believe that Americans value cleanliness, but not necessarily clutter-free ness. Jordanians seem to be the opposite. It can be what you or I would consider dirty, but very very tidy. Interesting.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1773105314966922233-6860729489178434698?l=picturesofkateinjordan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773105314966922233.post-19933009630940382402007-02-26T12:19:00.000+02:002008-12-10T17:00:34.238+02:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WdNLgo_WbTM/ReK0QWHnnUI/AAAAAAAAATw/NrbchX2Plx8/s1600-h/IMG_0014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5035785526262078786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WdNLgo_WbTM/ReK0QWHnnUI/AAAAAAAAATw/NrbchX2Plx8/s400/IMG_0014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>This is the outside of the Al-Husn Branch building.

Some of these pictures are out of order. I don't have time enough to figure out how to change the order of these posts. If anybody has ideas, that would be good. In the mean time, I decided it would be better to just post the pictures and deal with the formatting of it later.<br /><br />Which absolutely drives me insane, being a perfectionist. Mostly because it is something I know that if I had time enough, and faster internet, and access to my computer savvy friends, I would be able to solve this problem. This is one of those cases where my deep tenacity works against me, drives me to anxiety and severe annoyance.

They had a videographer at this wedding, and what they were video-ing was shown from a projector onto the wall. So here's the bride, on the wall - the pictures around her are Abdullah II (the present king of Jordan) to the left, and Hussein (his dad) to the left. Can you imagine the American equivalent? My wedding video being displayed between a picture of George Bush and George W.
