I am sorry I did not blog about Jordan yesterday but I was afraid what I wanted to say would ruin the day… Please don’t get me wrong its not that I don’t like Jordan, I love Jordan, and nothing makes me prouder than being a Jordanian. I would never trade my nationality for anything and I would get furious if anyone bad mouthed it.
Despite all that I have to admit that the situation in Jordan nowadays saddens me..
The poverty is saddening me, the raise in everything’s prices is saddening me, the raise of the crime rate is saddening me, even the traffic is saddening me..
Since when do people throw their kids in garbage containers?
Since when does a brother kill his brother for raping his own sister?
Since when does a girl kill all her family members for 30 Jds?
Since when do we accept prostitution?
Since when do we accept Jordanian Gays Blogs?
Since when do we accept seeing our youngsters every Monday and Thursday night drunk in bars?
Since when do we hear about raising the tomatoes and eggs prices? Eggs people!!
Since when is Jordan filled with such amount of fraud cases?
Since when do you see such amount of beggars at the traffic lights?
Since when does a sentence that says “the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer” describes our beloved country Jordan?
Since when do we evaluate people by how much money do they have?
Since when do neighbors do not know each other?
Since when do we hear of four number digits salaries against 2 digits salaries?
Since when do our children compete about who’s dad has more money?
Since when do our children have their own mobiles?
Since when do Jordanians pay more than 80 Million Jds a year on mobiles and bills?
Since when do we stand on the same traffic light for more than 3 times?
Since when does the road to anywhere in Amman takes you more than 25 minutes?
Since when does Jordan get bombed?
Since when do we get checked when entering a mall or a hotel?
Since when does with every new assigned prime minister comes a petroleum raise?
Since when do we have 3 people dying everyday from car accidents?
Since when are we rated the most expensive Arab country?
Since when do we not care?
I love you Jordan, I love you so much, but you are making me sad…
wow, all that from a princess?!
I have to agree with you on most of the aforementioned, But there were no restrictions on what to blog about as long as it is about Jordan.
That was saaad 😦
It’s hard to see all the facts put together in front of your eyes 😦
Mab3oos: Being a princess does not mean overlooking the facts 🙂
I know that there were no restrictions but i did not want some people like Adoosh to get sad on that special Jordanian day..
Thanks for your comment 🙂
Adoosh: I am very sorry to make you sad and join me in my sadness, that is the reason why I did not write it yesterday..
Thanks for your comment and sorry again 🙂
So bad , but all true …
i hope things get fixed in somehow ..
i will list it too
Wallah ya princess nobody can say it is not true.. coz it just is 😦 since when? since people stopped caring about other humans, including theirselves.

you summed what happened in Jordan lately! i must admit they are way so sad!
jad!
I think that this exactly is what you should have written yesterday, it wasnt about happy-life-jordan-love as far as I understood.
Forums for Gay Jordanians?? well this is new for me. I think it is because We deal with the Gay thing in a sick way, and look at them as filthy-taboo-thing instead of solving their problems that ended them up in being gay. We are the cause for all what you have mentioned, and We can start solve things, first step is to admit, then to think of ways and finally to solve thing, and this isnt easy, this is way too hard.
Qabbani: thanks…
wonders: you are absolutely right, that is why i ended it with “since when do we not care”
Maher: it is very sad, thanks for commenting..
MD: Maybe I should have written it yesterday but going through the rest of the blogs and how we all are very proud made me sad to write about it..
Unfortunately there are gays forums, gays articles ( you can check out the below link) and they even did an interview on air with some on a local radion station..
You are right, we have to start with ourselves first but it is too hard.. thanks for your comment

Bl 3aks princess, I found this very valid to blog about yesterday.. but its valid today too so no problem 🙂 There’s no better way I could have collected my thoughts and poured them out in critisism than this post. And we all know critisism comes with love and respectful to a subject we care about.
Batoul: Thanks a lot 🙂 it does come from pure love and wishing all the best for our beloved Jordan
It doesn’t matter if blogged about it yesterday or today, It doesn’t’ matter if it’s positive or negative .. That’s why I added you to the list of blogs who participated
What you said summarizes the Jordanian concerns. We have so many issues to think about, many problems to face .. it’s not perfect, but it’s still home…
Very well said !
I have nothing to add ! It is all sadly true !!
thank you princess!
i can tell you since when all that happened, since we bacame 3abadine el maal ! when i see in jordan these big constructions….banks and hotels…. they think today to enrich a country they have to enrich the rich people!!too sad

Blog about Jordan, the harvest
Princess N: I did not blog about Jordan because…
Lost Within: thanks for your comment
souhaila: you should right whatever you feel like, I guess this is what blogs are made for 🙂
Qwaider: I did not mean for it to be negative, its just that you only feel sad about something when it matters to you, when you care, and when you wish all the best for it…
WOW Princess!!! important questions, and i fell sad for all what you mentioned… and i really don’t know what to answer!
but i’m glad that i saw you blooging about jordan too 🙂
[…] day were Jordanian ex-pats, but many of the contributors were residents of the state, one of whom Princess N tells of the political and criminal unrest within the country She says: […]
