... hell was the cat? It was the parrot- some one had taught it to meow. I asked the guy working the reception desk did the parrot ever shut up and he said no. He looked like he wanted to kill the damn thing, or himself. All the time we were there that parrot never shut up.

The room cost 50 JD. We got a double room, AC, with a TV with an ensuite bathroom. It seemed like a really fancy hotel with a swimming pool as well! However, when you looked a closer at the room you could see that ...

houses were one story and quite small, there was maybe one gas station,
and no traffic lights. Given the smells there may or may not have been
plumbing, yet everyone seemed to have a satellite dish for tv (tv

This was an amazing day.
