From the Apartment Window: Amman, Jordan

Looking out the 4th floor kitchen window at the apartment of Nuri and I. Profile Nuri: a 26 year old Turkish PhD student in Amman for the summer to do research on stability in small Arab states. He'll later be settling in Tunis and Kuwait City to round out his research. I was fortunate to find Nuri like I've been fortunate to have a great roommate in NY. Low maintenance (besides an early morning cleaning twitch), a jovial personality, strong character, and bright ideas, it so far has worked out brilliantly and I look forward to a great relationship.
