It was a great experience. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about visiting. I went with my wife and kids and they also had a blast. There are some basic things you should know:<br><br>Drink only bottle water. (I've been back home 5 days and still have the runs).<br><br><br>

... before?" "First time." "Where else have you been in Africa?" "Mali and Senegal. But I've been in eighty other countries also." He nods. Fortunately he didn't ask any more because I'm honest to a fault. He didn't have to know that Mali was an unmitigated disaster and Senegal only somewhat mitigated. He knows that Africa is a continent unlike any other, where your very conception of 'what it is to be human' will be put to the test ...

... airplane, containing everything - from comfortable seats and TV sets for every three lines, and up to wet wipes in the toilettes. America! I prepared for a good night sleep, since it was a night-flight. We landed in Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa at 5:45AM. Since we had more than 5 hours to spend in the airport, we decided to go out and see the metropolis. Well, despite the journey was dedicated to Uganda, my first experience in Africa ...

... lounge that felt and looked very Western. I was expecting to feel euphoric. Here we were at the end of the trip, our goal achieved. A trip that at several, no, numerous times, I didn't think we would complete. Definate feelings of sadness though as I contemplated handing over the bus. It will feel like losing a friend. She has been home to us for a month and has been a big part of my life for a year or so. We have put her through Hell and with a few hiccups, she has coped. A ...

... swimming with some of these new found rasta friends and went back to their guest house for chipsi mayai, beer and a shower, in which i managed to scould my chest pretty badly, but didnt really notice because of too much alcohol and bangi. the next day it was pretty obvious, and still is a week later with scar tissue forming under the skanky skin....so got a bloody great scar across me now to always remember zanzibar! The next day chichi took us up to ...

... up to Bale National Park for a couple of days before coming to Addis. The electricity was back on so we took a HOT SHOWER and devoured the chocolate cake we bought at a café earlier for dessert, divine! And another bonus, there was no yelling or banging at night. Just Matt sleeptalking. Start: Wanza Hotel, Addis Ababa, ETH. End: Wanza Hotel, Addis Ababa, ETH. Distance Traveled: 0 km Road Conditions: - Temperature: pleasant

... mp;a mp;n bsp; Our intrepid driver and guide, Josie, kept fixing our flat tires, jammed windows, and blaring horn and managed to successfully expose us to the scenery and culture of the tribal south. The further south we got, the less the influence of western ...

We found Dr. Dawit Abate early at his office on the campus of Addis Ababa University. After giving him some books and cultures of maitake and reishi, we set out for the biology lab. He told us he would have the maitake growing on agar media before we leave the country. He showed us some pictures of mushrooms he'd grown or collected in Ethiopia. The biology lab was what I imagine an American bio lab looked ...

... to come. Peace Corps makes a concerted effort to reserve the title of Peace Corps volunteer for those who have sworn in, and some people were very emotional at having made the significant step from Peace Corps Trainee. I have to admit personally feeling no different after swear-in from how I felt before, but then again, I've never really been one for ceremonies. Many people likened swear-in to their college graduation ceremonies. I wouldn't know; I didn't ...
