<h4>Billboard in Amman cautions against using your phone while driving</h4>

<p>I can&rsquo;t even read Arabic but I&rsquo;m pretty sure that billboard is telling people to <em>put their fucking phones down while driving</em>. It&rsquo;s like an epidemic here. I&rsquo;ve never seen people look less at the road while driving than here in Amman.</p>

<p>As Muslims around the world are busy wishing each other a blessed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha">Eid al-Adha</a>, some poor bastard has to clean up this lazily discarded sheep carcass from my local dumpster (note the entrails spilled below). Keep it classy, Jordan.</p>

<h4>Sign forbidding sound near mosque on Rainbow Street, Amman</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The irony is rich with this one, because this mosque has a sound system from another planet. If I wasn&rsquo;t worried about my personal safety I&rsquo;d put up a sign right next to it saying: <em>Please mute your mosque, there is a sleeping Alan 50m away</em>.</p>
