Jordan has a lot of history, and this place has seen many older civilizations. It’s believed that Moses climbed this mountain (Mount Nebo) when god gave him a view of the promised view. It was a very beautiful scene to see other mountains, the Dead Sea and the holy land. It’s also believed that […]
I arrived in Jordan almost 2 weeks ago and I wasn’t able to update my blog due to some laziness and other personal reasons.

I’ve been taking a break lately and didn’t do much exciting except some outdoor activities. The other day I visited an unusual restaurant.

I don’t have much to say on this post, but you can check out the nice pictures. I took these pictures when I visited Zhujiajiao a little water town similar to Venice or Amsterdam, where you see the houses and the shops on both sides of the water canals. Very nice […]
I went to a traditional Szechwan restaurant, it was a nice experience, they had on stage a performance called “Changing Faces” in which one of the performers changes a face mask, but with a trick, you can’t tell how he changes the mask, you only see the result. At the restaurant they have […]
