Ethiopia

Well, I crossed yet another border. We are in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. I can't really put my hands on this city. First of all, it is huge, has avenues and squares the Russian sizes, like the ones of Tbilisi (Georgia). Secondly, apart from blue and white minibuses and taxis there is not much traffic and thus less smog than in Nbi. Thirdly, people are friendly and caring. Today, we played street smart by crossing the street while I felt we were being watched and followed. After we crossed one guy said:"have they taken anything from you?". That immediately brings out another point: quite a lot of beggars. Fourthly, The food is like an angel peeing on your tongue. Seriously! And since we were already counting, fifthly, their English is poor and that might be an understatement. It sounds almost like mr Yoda him selves. Their official language is Amharic, but apparently English is not being taught sufficiently to make a five letter sentence with tourists. They make that up with their charming modest way of being.
I think we are in for some adventure in this country... to be continued.
