I’ve just received the following Email, it’s really great to see that somebody cares! and it’s even greater that this somebody is Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Queen of Jordan, Queen of our country.

Don’t call me hijabi
25Oct07Can’t speak for all the veiled ladies out there but I sure can and will speak for myself.

But one thing surprised me (and upset me at the same time); it’s the lack of colour in clothes shops here.

On One Year in Jordan…
03Sep07It’s been a year and a month since I came to Jordan. My life has changed ever since I got on that plane to Amman.
