Children are given painkillers by suppository instead of liquid suspension. (This was unsuccessful when I tried it with Ethan!)
Plastic bags are used aplenty, with no "green" thoughts at all.
Powdered drink mixes come in flavors like mango, orange and peach, instead of grape and cherry. Same with juices, for that matter!
Prices are listed with thousandths instead of hundredths (i.e. 1.200 JD)
Men never wear shorts -- it's considered to be like wearing one's underwear in public.
Taxis are the norm instead of buses, and bikes are non-existent.
Tea is usually served with mint (and hot, no milk).
Pita is cheap to buy fresh from the bakery -- YUM!!
No floor is carpeted, though area rugs will be used in the winter.
Fruit and veg need to be sterilized.
Children are seen as a blessing, and are treated as such, even by strangers.
Rubbish is collected everyday. We put our bags out on the sidewalk, where a donkey & boy/man come get it within a day.
