I just mean that people are freaking out over fighting which is normal. Its actually very calm though considering there are wars surrounding the country. You will be fine. May I ask what you are coming for? Tourism?

I'm going to the Round Square conference at one of the schools there with some other people from my school.

Its a huge deal here in Jordan, the entire country is in semi panic mode. The Gaza strip is the only thing on the news right now idk if america is getting the coverage like we are. I'm actually really glad I got out of the west bank before it got out of hand.

Great to know considering I'm going to Jordan in like two months

I kinda want to make a tumblr just to debate with sjws.

I don't have any ideas for a name though. It just has to be subtle.

I was down in Sydney (Aus) in the last holidays and I got a small popcorn that was pretty much a 3-4L bucket overfilled with popcorn. Compare that to a small where I live, which is like 1.5L.

I bet they make them the size of a face so they can repurpose the cups at gitmo

true. Same would apply if a professional football player punched you in your face or kicked you as well. They are much tougher built than professional soccer players are. At least, the quarterbacks are. They would be the tanks of all tanks in a l4d apocalypse

You don't need or want to be of a very big build in soccer, the sport is more about agility and speed than pushing people out of the way. If you want a sport for that go watch rugby or something.

I go camping on school trips with our cadet unit. Its pretty fun because I get to boss around my subordinates and stuff, but there is a lot of walking with heavy bags and such.
