MARHABA.

this is one of the 25 arabic words i have added to my vocabulary while in the middle east... it means HI. good one to know.
for the last two weeks, i have been with these six girls working at the university of jordan hospital in amman, jordan. we are completing our global health and human diversity course with BYU college of nursing and we have definitely been tutored in how diverse people and healthcare can be around the world. we are working in the hospital mentoring their nursing students for one more week before we get to travel around in-country and possibly to jerusalem. just wondering...has anyone heard of the dish mancef and is it good? also, if anyone know of an arabian cookbook, i would love to know about it...
