I dream of Jordan

I remember I was once in Jordan. It was the end of 2016 and I was visiting a friend who lived there. I was travelling alone and it was quite a strange and new experience to me. 

Travelling alone in the Middle East. Scary and exciting. 

First stop - Amman



Next stop - Petra. One night I stayed Ghassab (in the picture below), who has a cave somewhere near Petra. Here he is leading us to the beautiful city from the other side...



After visit to Petra, we spent a night in the cave and in the morning, instead of alarm, we some these amazing visitors...




One more day in Petra...



Next stop - Wadi Rum. A bedouin asked me what I wanted to do, I said I want to spend a night alone in the desert. So he left me with these, alone...




Morning in the desert.

And the the other bedouin came and showed me around.






A visit to a small city As-Salt, which definitely worth your time. 



And, of course, Jerash...




And Um Qays. To your left - Palestine, to your right - Syria.

Things I love about Indonesia

Masjid Agung, Semarang Well, after so much time of silence I decided once again to write my blog. It's almost six months I'm in Indonesia. To be more precise - in Java island. Six months of volunteering in the Indonesia International Work Camp (IIWC) ( http://iiwcindonesia.wordpress.com/ ). And because only two months are left, I do not feel like writing an official report about what I was doing, or trying to remember these past six months as clearly as I can. Because only two months are left, I am starting to feel nostalgic and I am starting  to mentally collect things with which I fell in love in Indonesia. Things that I'm gonna miss when I'm back. So instead of the report, story, or picture presentation, I'm composing a list of things. Things, I'm not sure I can live without anymore but I have to. The order of things are not important. 1. The sound of adhan . For those who do not know what "adhan" means ...

There are books and there are books. This is the latter

I do love books. To have, to borrow, to smell, to hold and, of course, to read. But mostly to have. And read, of course. But I like the presence of books in my home. Wherever that is. Well, maybe my home is where my books are. (After returning from Indonesia, some of the books are missing, by the way. So if any of my friends are reading, please check your shelves for intruders. Please.) So I do love books. We established that. I also like some books more than others. I am so sorry for some of the books I have, but that is true. I consider some books better than others. So, logically, some of them I consider worse than others. But maybe I will not talk about those. Well, to the point. I want to write about the book I consider the best. Not the best ever written, but the best for me. And even that is not true, because my opinion about what is the best/favourite book is as solid as the wind. And it depends on what I am reading at the moment (well, if you care so much, it is Teju ...
