One colour does it all! Many of the apartments are all the same straight up and down boxes and mostly the same or similar colour – beige tending towards cream and roofs of a pale terracotta. All stuck to the hillside and mostly 3 to 5 stories. The mechanic bloke told me that Amman has been destroyed a number of times by earthquakes etc and then as recently as 1970 it was badly damaged when a rocket and bomb battle between the PLO and the Jordanian army was played out on its streets.
That bloke (me) is sitting in the Royal Box - but when will the show begin?
