  4. PS: is this the museum in amman next to the big new mosque?

  5. Thanx Buj, yes the Museum is there, at King Hussein Park next to the big new mosque :)

    It’s quite an interesting museum, it holds an awesome group of cars and motorbikes (classic and new) that used to belong to King Hussein.

  6. hi Samer,
    I went for the firstest time to Amman 2 weeks ago. You have such a beautiful beautiful country, it’s great. I been to Lebanon before so beirut was my only standard. However you guys are much more civilised I have to say. Although Lebanese driving is more fun :)

    my bro is a car nut, so we went there but i never went into the museum, damn, next time i’ll go to see it.. i went to mecca mall, and boy it’s a weird experience!!! lots of goodies inside though, well-protected :)

  7. thanx man, glad you liked it, next time tell when you are in town maybe we will go out for some coffee, and to the museum as well :)
