so, more protests have broken out around amman in an escallation of the usual friday downtown demonstrations. i drove past one yesterday on my way home from the university. it backed up traffic for a while, but that was the extent of the effect it had on me personally. apparently, a little while later, pro-gov. counterdemonstrators started throwing rocks at the protesters. in egyptian fashion, that particular group of demonstrators has started camping out at that circle.
i know my family is worried about me, but errybody should chill out. SIT is really on top of stuff, they always err (air? i don't know) on the side of caution. and so far, they haven't said anything to us. so chill!!!
here's an article if you want to know more:
