... dark-side scenarios you could ever imagine in the depths of your sub-conscious, total utter dangerous cattle-stampede cacophonous chaos in total darkness, all for the privilege of boarding a bus to the outback reaches of most ancient Africa. The only alternative is more expensive flights and taxis and aggravation when I'm already saturated. My trip has barely started and already is failing. There really ...

... Just like in India they don't use utensils, you use your right hand to eat. The injera I've had so far was a bit too spongy for my tastebuds. I had it with some kind of chickpea puree with berbere (a red powder with over 16 spices). Here are a few of the most popular dishes in Ethiopia: Wat- stew, usually lamb, but also with beef, goat, or chicken Kitfo- minced meat, warmed, but not really cooked Tere sega- raw meat Addis Ababa has a ...

He has two degrees and is just hiring on with an NGO who needs his acquired skills in business. It has been a physically and mentally demanding journey so far, but we both have appreciated the opportunity to offer ourselves to those who study and appreciate UCG's literature. We would come back here anytime.

... over land. Despite all the horror stories from other travelers about riding in trucks through the bandit infested northern Kenyan desert that is what we are going to do. This was the only part of the over land Cairo to Cape Town odyssey we considered skipping. We both have reasons for changing our minds: first of all Arvid tends to be compulsive about the purity of the trip; but the more important reason is that Irina is not willing to pay the over $900 it would cost us to fly ...

... part. Although we doubted we'd be shot at by bandits as he was. January 25, 2008 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia This afternoon we picked up our visas which costs 876 Birr for the two of us.
