"yirham jedak" is a reminder of the area that your grandparents used to inhabit.. I would take it as a joke, as I'm sure he meant it. However where my grandparents lived is completely irrelevant!

They lived in a very modest neighborhood in the east quarter of Irbid. I loved their home and the big lime tree in the small backyard.
