I was wondering how to start my blog post
about today.. But what could be better than “Yod Abyssinia” a typical
traditional Ethiopian restaurant where we had our dinner for tonight several
minutes ago! What a beautiful restaurant, I was not brave enough to choose
traditional food or bread while making my dish, at least not in the beginning
of our week.. Yolanda (a journalist with us from Namibia with whom I become
friends we spend the day together and we did all things together, I like her
name and it means purple flower!) and I chose to keep it safe and to try
traditional food the last day!
This is the purple flower:
Then we sit
and we enjoyed some of Ethiopian songs and dances, our friend Milion ( from FES
Ethiopia) said that every song and dance represents a different tribe or
tradition in the country..don’t you ever
think that I did not comment on his name J I told him US dollar or Euro he
said no I prefer pound J smart and funny guy!
The
restaurant was very beautiful and there were cute kids dancing with the music I
don’t know how I forgot my camera but Yolanda was kind enough and she will send
me the pictures she took..Till then here is some pix from the internet:
Well there
are a lot of things to talk about but I feel so tired to write.. the day in
general was smooth and we learned a lot about Ethiopia this magic country!
There is
something that caught our attention me and Yolanda: it seems that the whole
city is under construction all the buildings are getting constructed strange! And yeah everywhere there checking points even
in restaurants J
PS Addis
Ababa has its strange beauty..No comfort or modernity it is modest but somehow
magic I like it J
