                                 Mansaf Mansaf is a traditional Jordanian dish made of lamb cooked in a goat milk yogurt and served with rice and topped with almond slices . it is very mild taste dish. This yogurt is prepared by the boiling of sheep or goat milk. This sauce has a very distinct fermented and salty flavor. It is Jordan's national dish. When we traveled to Jordan last year we had a unique experience of Jordanian hospitality while eating this famous dish Mansaf.  It was a day before we flew back home and me and 2 more friends wanted to eat this famous dish.  We searched one restaurant in the market area  and went there. One of my friends can talk Arabic so she talked with the cook and asked how to eat this dish and ordered accordingly for us. The yogurt sauce and rice is served separately and we have to take a scoop of rice and then add the sauce and some roast...

           Pandemic Travel PCR Test Fun (Part2) During the pandemic, I had several interesting and amusing encounters with PCR tests and their timings. I can't even count how many times I took these tests or how much I paid for them. One such memorable experience occurred during my trip to Jordan in January 2022. I had a fantastic trip in Jordan from December 25th, 2021, until January 6th, 2022. Finally, it was time to fly back to Germany. On January 5th, I took my test at 10:30 in the morning, and my flight was scheduled for the night of January 6th, technically making it January 7th. I thought it would be fine since the test couldn't be older than 72 hours. I arrived at the Amman airport well in advance, but during check-in, the staff asked for my vaccine pass, which I didn't have. I informed them that as a German national, I was allowed to travel with a negative PCR test instead of a vaccine certificate. I even showed them the official website informati...

            Pandemic travel PCR Test Fun Part1 I have a deep passion for traveling, but the pandemic posed numerous challenges for me. I made a personal choice not to get vaccinated, and I stand firm in my reasons, regardless of others' opinions .  But any way the time when i was not vaccinated and still was traveling a lot of course had to do tests all the time which is fine and i don't mind paying 80 euro for PCR test before flying . Also even doing quick tests every 2 days . I was fine with all this than taking a vaccine.           In November 2021, I embarked on a holiday trip to Cyprus. It was a marvelous vacation, and when the time came to return home, I adhered to my routine of taking a PCR test. I made sure to time it correctly, ensuring that the test was conducted 30 hours prior to my flight. Fortunately, the test result came back negative, and I was all set to fly back. However, as soon a...

In 2017 I decided to see new years firework every year from a different country and also manged it till 2019 but in 2020 i was not sure if will be able to keep my promise to myself. But I was lucky and could fly to Madeira island in Portugal. it was very new style of flying or travel in general because of pandemic. First I did a PCR test 1 day before flying . For that we had to go to Frankfurt airport as It was not available that easily anywhere else. for this I Had to take online appointment and pay online and then go to the airport for the test. but I must say all went relatively smooth considering the large number of people and everyone confused, changing rules everyday .  Going to airport with public transport , doing the test and then come back home by pub...
