Dearest Amman, Where being separated by a single street can make all the difference in the world…

In Abdoun: A Million Dollars for a house…
In Jabal Akhdar: A Million Houses for a Dollar.

    I’ve been always wondering why, taxes, services, even people are different, not to mention prices as you said of course, maybe because of the original owners were important ?! or they are NOW important because they got lucky? or the money made them influential people!
    pretty confusing really.

    that is pretty sad..what a huge difference…since i’ve only seen the “richer”? side of amman, i always wondered how others were able to live in amman..everything is so expensive..but then hubby pointed out that on the other side it is not same…so wow!

    شارع طويل عريض مستقل فيه؟

    يا بكوز بكونو من نفس العيلة و بتشوف واحد غربي وواحد شرقي

    و بدون شوارع

    احكيلك شغلة قريبة من هالموضوع

    صبرا و شاتيلا في لبنان بتفصلهم عن السوليدير شارع

    على هالجهة لا كهربا ولا مي و لا بنية تحتية و بيوت الله اعلم فيها

    و على الناحية التانية و شارع ازغر من شارعنا

    الاضواء ملعلعة و الرقص و الغتاء و الشوارع النضيفة و السيارات اللي بدك تاكسي لتوصل لاولها

    ويلكم باك بكوز

    اشتقنالك
