After the wonderful lunch at the amazing restaurant, we wandered around the downtown street; meeting and greeting people, learning and experiencing the hospitality of the conservative Jordanian.
The local ‘shawirma’ or slice grilled chicken or beef meat wrapped with thin bread was awesome and reasonably cheap. And, what impressed us was the hygiene factor, which was 9 out of 10.
We saw and talk with the street shoe repair ‘factories’, we went to vegetables market and bought 2 JD (almost 5 kilogram) of ‘Safandi’ akin to the Chinese Lokam or mandarin orange. All sorts of activities, shapes and wonderful colors fascinated the scenery.
Curious with what these guys (in the photo above) were selling, we politely informed him that we would like try and buy 1 JD only. However, instead of selling it, he happily gave us one piece FOC. We thanked him.
A Public Showroom? Well actually, this shop is selling antiques and second-hand items. The old broken wooden wheel meant nothing to us, but to some Jordanian, it may worth few Dinars.
Along the street, we saw many street vendors marketing second hand items mainly shoes, non-branded locally made clothing and household items. Believed me, their mode of operandi had attracted many customers. Not bad ah! Definitely! The effort and initiative is much better than begging around shamelessly on the street.
Alhamdullillah, the weather was on our side. We blended ourselves with the local ambience, roaming the street and negotiating with taxi drivers to visit Jerash, our next item in the agenda. Most of the people that we met spoke fair English, but with our little proficiency of Egyptian language, we managed to communicate with them fairly.
