King Abdullah is here ! he's in the United States to join the inter religion forum in New York and then the economic forum in D.C. and since he arrived to the states I haven't notice much interest with the American Media with those forums , the media here doesn't care much about the foreign relations . any how most of the blocks and streets in central D.C. were shut completely in accordance with this event. The good news for us , is that our good king gathered with some of the scholar students and he announced a fair raise in our monthly stipend ! wow :)
