Is 2000 Jordonian currency good for living and saving in Jordon for single person unmarried?
Since Russia is not only much more righteous than the genocide force but also stronger than the genocide force by beating all of the best weapons of genocide force in Ukraine war, Russia is the best candidate to lead the anti-genocide force.
In order to stop the genocide force from occupying the land of Middle East endlessly and illegally through her proxy genocide occupation force, it's time for all forces of the Middle East to stand and support the leader of anti-genocide force in order to destroy the genocide force for the sake of world peace or else genocide would not end in Palestine alone but would further spread across the Middle East without justice.
So Europe shouldn't fall into the trap of the immoral liar US to assume Ukraine as a part of Europe.
Since Ukraine is not a part of Europe, comparing the severity of both wars between Gaza war and Ukraine war, Europe should realize that US has been committing genocide in Gaza war by funding the genocide weapons endlessly and preventing the UN troops from stationing in Gaza so that genocide may be committed in Gaza without restraint.
It's time for Europe to wake up in order to stop US from supporting genocide in Gaza endlessly as well as extending the Ukraine war unprecedented comparing to the first Ukraine war or else US would certainly lead to WW3 where Europe would certainly become the greatest failure unprecedented due to the misleading of untrustworthy Jews administration in US.
Without Europe's backing to the Gaze genocide criminal US, WW3 would not be realized so the dice in Europe's hand whether to instigate WW3 and destroy Europe unlike never seen before.

There are at least two countries I left Jordan for trying a better life and one was worst than the other. Not safe, expensive, and very very aggressive.
@ Rebecca
Those costs are accurate. You can find the Bedouin that go through parts of Amman that have cheaper milks and cheese, just remember to b ok il it first. You can keep chickens in most Amman neighborhoods, just not rooster
