King's 10th Anniversary as King


Two weeks ago marked the 10th anniversary of the accension of King Abdullah II to the throne. This was actually celebrated very quietly - there were some ads in the paper and some military bases had colorful banners but that was about it except for new flags.
We went for a drive to visit Um Al Rasas again and every little town we drove through (all of which have a government building) had brand new shiny flags. In Madaba (a big town), the flags were so new that you could still see the creases from where they had been folded in the package.
