A visual diary of the year I spent living in Jordan. While I was living in Jordan, the Royal Wedding took place seeing thousands of people take to the streets to catch a glimpse of the royal couple.  I often found myself in downtown, an area located in the centre of Amman which became a focal point for celebration and activity during Ramadan, Independence Day and Eid Al-Adha. It is a place that both tourists and locals frequent with endless shopping, restaurants, and historical sites.
