Shopping in Jordan 7-12-11

There is a great link telling you a lot about shopping in Jordan. Personally I have not yet been to the artisan shops just the local markets. Since we are in Asia it is natural to expect everything to be made in China and while very affordable is of poor construction and low quality. Reminds me of shopping at the dollar store in america. There are some interesting and fragrant spice stalls as well as fresh produce and lovely dried fruit stands as well as roasted nuts. Among these stands are also fruit smoothie vendors that make a great fresh mango smoothie. One of my favorites has been lemon, mint and sugar cane blended with ice-very refreshing during the hot day. Also available all the normal fast food restaurants are in abundance here: Mc Donalds, burger king, hardees, KFC, popeyes, pizza hut and lil ceasars.
