Jordan

Made plans today for a 5 day Ramadan trip to Jordan - Amman, Petra and the Dead Sea.

Initially there were the 4 of us. Then Zach bailed out, bringing the group numbers down to 3. Then Jordan + Family who has never been to Jordan wanted to go to Jordan... so numbers went up to 7. Just over the weekend, Alan and Ann wanted to go too... so up again to 9 people. And again Son Chai + wife were interested... so now it's 11 people. Most recent additions (may not happen though) is Mum and Dad.... so now we have 13!

I hope this trip works out. It's usually quite hard to coordinate big groups!!!

To join or not to join

Been trying to get some excercise going over the last few months. I've beeen so lazy.
To get myself up and going, think I should join a gym. But it's sooo expensive. 550Dhs (AUD $160) a month to join a club.

It's got Tennis, Squash courts, Gym, Pool and a lazy river!!!! Plus discounts at Wafi Mall. I'm a sucker for freebies....

I think i'm putting the weight on with all my excessive work-time snacking! I should use the gym at home... but when it's free, you don't use it! That's me!

SHould I spend the money then!!!???

Misc + Gold Souk

Hung around with Mun Wah and Mark over this weekend...
It's nice to have friends around!!! But playing tour guide is always fun.... (I get to try new things too!!)

At the Irish Village with the usual gang.... plus Will...

Pretty Souk Madinat Shop!!

Starbucks.... Life saver of the day!

Night time hangout - with the WB gang
5 days a week @ work... and we still hang out on the weekends!!! That makes it 7 days a week.

Well... Mark was around in town for the weekend and we went to the Gold Souk with J & W for dinner and a bit of watch bargaining with the Indians at the Gold Souk. Will got ripped off buying his 400dhs watch (which I would only have gotten for like 100dhs).

WB Bowling

Had a work bowling social event... Did alright... 115 and 112! At least I broke the 100 barrier! Got to know a few more people at work... which was good!

New Job...

The new job is just fantastic. No regrets leaving at all!! Just getting a little stressed out with having to be busy and working again!! At least I have a real working team now... but it's fun working with Heath, Jeff and Will. I think sometimes we spend more time talking than doing anything else.

Anyway... the move has been so far so good... busy, but it's very gooood.
