Ramadan- A to do list in Amman

"So, a lot of people are wondering what to do during Ramadan. It’s quiet, boring, slow, things shut down, our routines are disrupted and it seems like there is nothing to do! The other part of this is money, everything costs a lot of money to do… so here is my list of things to do during Ramadan, in Amman, for under 10 JD."

Which modern Ferrari would have made Enzo proud?

"Enzo Anselmo Ferrari died on the 14th of August in 1988 at the age of 90, exactly 23 years ago from today. Known as “il Commendatore”, Enzo was not an easy man to please."

Saudi Arabia: What do Saudi Employers Look for on a CV?

To include a photo or not? "With economic downslides taking place in other parts of the world, employment opportunities in Saudi Arabia continue to rise. Therefore a common question received today is what does a Saudi employer look for on a CV? First and foremost the applicant should meet or exceed the requirements and responsibilities of the position. The CV should be tailored for the specific position applied."

Fighting Over Leftovers

Well, thumbs up for being on track to stay conscientious about food wastage this Ramadan: "Have you ever fought over food after finishing your meal?! Actually I never did, but these days I’m fighting over leftovers with my aunt every Saturday (family gathering). My aunt doesn’t have maids, both of them escaped before Ramadan LOL & she doesn’t feel like or more likely she’s too lazy to cook 2 meals, not to mention that her house is HUGE mashalla. I on the other side, also too lazy to cook another meal (suhoor) that’s why last Saturday we had a fight over some leftovers."

This happens EVERY FREAKIN’ MORNING!

Something for your Monday... (If you're in the Middle East outside of Lebanon, you might prefer those smile injectors Sunday but we're keeping that Monday tradition today). "Well if my boss is reading this then I guess now he knows the truth that there really is no “hideous traffic jam”!"
