Addis Ababa

*DEC 27-JAN 4*

Ethiopia is a very rich country; rich in culture, language (I just love the way they speak Amharic), food, arts, etc etc. I wonder if it's cuz it was never colonized. I had a great time trying to learn atleast one word during my stay (Armasaganalo aka Thank you):). I left a week before the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Baha'i Faith in Ethiopia which was kinda sad:(. I wish, I wish I could stay.

All the way!! I ate Njeera almost everyday! The very brown one too

YUMMMMMMMMMMY

Did I mention Ethiopians in general are very beautiful? Anyways, so there's this saying in Kenya that" God started creation of mankind in Ethiopia and took HIS time to mould them beautifully and by the time He got to Kenya He was tired and was just stamping them"








Now, this was a little wierd! We were told that there's shortage of land to bury the dead, so people have to buy thier own spot shown below where they'll be laid to rest after death and after 10 or so years, the bones will be taken out and burn!!! There was only one spot used so far.....
