Without asking, the guy at the reception told us why the streets are so empty. We thought it was because it was the Friday after Eid el-Adha. We couldn't be more wrong.
It wasn't for that.
The new opium of the people today is back into action: football.
Jordan is playing tonight in one of those games that we hardly hear about in the news.
Against who?
Against Singapur.
I'm not kidding.
And yes, Singapur has a football national team.
Now, keep it easy, guys. We are watching the game drinking an frozen beer and I can tell that any of the teams will be a menace in the World Cup 2014.
Spain, Egypt, Italy, USA, Holland and the others have nothing to be scared about.
The stadium is full of people, apparently because Prince Aly, king's brother, is there supporting the team.
And this is something remarkable. These guys are so patriotics. Really.
If there'd be something in common in the whole country, this is flags and pictures of the king Abdallah, his father Hussein (who looks like Sean Connery, by the way) and sometimes the here prince (wait, Zizo is
asking the name)... ... Hussein (very original).
Well, these things/symbols are everywhere. If they had just set a big flag/picture hanging from the Treasure in Petra, I wouldn't had felt weird.
But back to our situation, in this creepy bar, with 8 other people, watching the game, I can say that I am extremely happy and satisfied with the trip.
And I think Zizo is as well.
Jordan is winning 1-0.
And it was a nice goal!
