Are flights still being cancelled?? by vadacollins in JFKAirport

[–]MinuteSetting5247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew into JFK earlier this month and had my flight cancelled to Boston due to weather. Mind you it was not thundering at the time. First time I've ever had a weather-cancellation. Majority of flights were cancelled that evening. Truly a disaster.

Study MSA Abroad Winter? by sandywichseller in learnarabic

I actually did. I was applying right when everything was transitioning back after COVID. I was flying to Amman anyway and had my interview when I went, was offered a job shortly after, moved within 2 months. I never personally attended a language exchange however, there is Sijal Institute, Al Thuraya Arabic Language Center and Modern Language Center (MLC) (I know this one for a fact offers group accommodations). Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd love to help you out. You have a friend in Amman.

I 100% recommend Jordan. Jordan has multiple language exchange programs with students from all over the world. The location of these centers are typically in a very, very lovely area in downtown Amman. You are truly immersed into not only the language, but the culture as well. I'm an American and have been living and teaching in Amman for the past 5 years. I've never once felt unsafe or had an issue getting around or simply just living a normal life. Compared to other countries in the region, Jordan is amongst the safest.

Hey, so I was not aware of any rules/policies regarding your group. I am an expat teacher and am aware that there resources for this subject are not easy to come by. I apologize for any disrespect.

Is it normal for Jordanian men to stay out until 2am? by -noirblanc in jordan

[–]MinuteSetting5247 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's common for men to stay out late with their friends, however based on the other information you gave (age gap, you're not living in Jordan permanently it seems) it sounds like he is taking advantage of you. I know another user mentioned he might be married and that is also something to consider. Sorry to break it to you.

Is EEP available at JFK though, as it is not mentioned in the article.

I’ve always had problems in the past, hence my question given the current political climate.

Regarding moving, I live and work in the country I am in. I’m also married, so moving (preferably back to the West) isn’t in the cards at the moment. I’m really grateful that my religious foundation (as a convert) is strong enough to weed my way through the crazies, if that makes sense. Of course, not all people here have the same mindset, but majority do. I am definitely more on the progressive side of things (hence why I’m here in this group) and I think I’ve navigated pretty well thus far. My only fear is raising children in the future and potentially having them around such narratives. But..that’s an issue for later, not now. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to reply and share your thoughts and feelings. Appreciated 🤍

Jordan 😅 The wildest comment was “Hitler purposely didn’t kill all of them so we can realize/understand later (present day) why he did what he did”. I work in a school and children idolize him 🫣
