#jeresh

I was in a dnd one-shot recently, and played a mummified reborn sorcerer Jeresh.

In the time I was there I got to meet so many interesting people, I got to wander around and explore. There were so many occasions where I was asked to drink tea by people, who I just happen to go into their shop, buy something and strike up a conversation. I got lost wandering around Amman and the amount of people who helped me was astounding, they just came up to me and asked me where I wanted to go. 

I talked about politics in the Middle East and especially about Syria being a hot topic over some shisha. To learn how people in Jordan felt about it and to get a different view from what the western media keep telling us was refreshing.  Every place I went to around Jordan their hospitality was amazing, even if they could speak very little English and I very little Arabic, they would offer us tea or coffee as a welcome drink, where ever I was staying.

The places I really wanted to see Jeresh and Petra were absolutely brilliant so much archaeology there, I can not get over the excitement when I saw both places, truly amazing! Yes when I saw the Treasury which features in the 3rd Indiana Jones movie, all I could think of was that scene at the end, but even so the detail and beauty of it was something else. 

I slept under the stars, saw part of the Milky Way, saw some wonderful sunsets and heard Hyenas in the night. I got to float in the Dead Sea, have a mud bath and see Israel and Palestine from different points on my journey, the most breathtaking was from the top of Mount Nebo. I got to see a 6th century mosaic of the Holy Land and get to experience more Jordanian hospitality with music and even more shisha on my journey. Every night there brought something different and I got to spend it with a variety of different people. I met people seeing Jordan and living in Jordan as well and have made some brilliant friends.
