Today I was supposed to have a house
visit with he same performing family as before, the son (Raad) who
performs with his father. It is really strange that this is the third
time they have scheduled to meet and haven't shown up. In class, we
learned that “Jordanian time” is a little different than what
we're used to in America. Appointments outside of work are often
times not very definite. For example 4:30pm could mean maybe 5pm.
One time, Yousef was translating what time Raad's father would come
to pick us up he said “maybe 3:30, maybe 4:30”. Missing
appointments or being late is not uncommon apparently.
