Jomo Kenyata Street, Next to Bambis Supermarket Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 251-(11)-5507777-
Yesterday my 12:15 p.m. flight from Nairobi to Addis Ababa was cancelled and I was rescheduled on to the 6:15 p.m. flight. Fortunately for boredom's sake, I met three Canadians that were in the same situation as me and so we spent our time having lunch and chatting away about hockey and hippos and whatever else came to mind. I arrived at the Hotel de Leopol (Leopard Hotel) around 9:00 at night happy and in good spirits after a long drawn day spent at the airport was finally over. The studio r...
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia pchun88... even a first floor. Perhaps even more amazing than this, as yet, unexplained work of structural engineering, is the fact that along with the churches (dating from the 12th century) the spiritual life of Lalibela has stayed in tact. Robed priests bless passers-by with their big, ornamented crosses as they walk the streets or pray in the church. Believers pilgrim to the churches to stand at the door in references, kiss its frame and then lie or kneel before a picture of a saint. Hundreds ...
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia manic-trip... and landed at the new, very modern airport. I had a four-hour layover, which seemed longer and then we boarded another Ethiopian flight for Paris. This one is full. I'm sitting next to a young Zambian boy scout on his way to Germany for a camp. And in front of me to the left and behind are parents with very young children (read: crying babies). I've put my in-ear phones on, turned on the ipod, and hope to get some sleep.
... avec le partenaire des sur exécutions budgétaires qui ne seront jamais couvertes.
Je passe mon temps à faire des budgets 6 mois après avoir démarré les activités qui sont modifiés à peu près 40 fois avant une improbable validation finale.
Comme Sisyphe, j'ai l'impression de pousser quotidiennement une pierre au sommet d'une montagne pour qu'elle redescende aussi sec.
Tout cela est d'un ennui mortel. Même quand la connexion Internet fonctionne, la ...
... tente comme quand on avait 15 ans et on se réveille à l'aube, les appels du prêtre d'entoto church nous martelant le crâne, histoire de démonter les lampes, charger les chaises dans l'Isuzu (mais putain je vous avais dit que les verres étaient consignés) et laver avec amour les assiettes en plastique. Dimanche comatage qui ne donne pas envie de travailler Lundi. Donc une bonne grosse fête même si, comme tous les mariages mixtes, les choses ne ...
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia asalvaire... me and, aft** realizing she'd locked h**self out of h** room, had to sleep on a mattress in the office behind the front desk - I'm sure if I'd been 10 minutes lat**, Phil's room would have been h**s . . . So, as Lydia tried to get some sleep (she'd had two ov**night flights), I had breakfast with Phil and his new roommate, Henry, and tried to figure out what Lydia and I might do ov** the next couple of weeks. Turns out that Phil and Henry w**e both in Ethiopia for their ...
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia donna321... Et pourtant la connexion Internet est des plus capricieuses, parfois skype fonctionne et pas le reste, parfois gmail et pas yahoo, parfois rien du tout. On passe donc tout le week end en pleine urgence sans AUCUNE connexion Internet. On doit recevoir le rapport d'assessment mais tout es bloqué, même le téléphone satellite. C'est à se frapper la tête contre les murs. Quand par miracle, on réussit à récupérer un mail, on le copie en Word et on se le passe sur ...
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia asalvaire... e surtout quand je repense à la première sortie en voiture de ma mère à Toulouse et notre quête désespérée du panneau Foix-Tarbes. A Tombouctou, on aurait eu moins peur. D'un autre côté, ça fout la trouille, comme toujours. Mais bon, chacun doit suivre son chemin et le mien, cette nuit, me mène à Addis alors je vais profiter des deux sièges libres à mes côtés pour faire un petit somme avant de me lancer dans cette nouvelle aventure. Je vous souhaite de beaux rêves.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia asalvaire... feel about that. From what I've gathered, up until very recent times, the tribes of this area that has become Ethiopia were hunter gatherers and farmers. This is the Cradle of Humanity, humans have existed here for millions of years without aid from other countries. So why do they need it now ? Money and wealth are Western concepts and so poverty, the lack of money and wealth, must also be a Western concept. The West has introduced the needs and desires that weren't there ...
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia spooky388... the world of sports is how it provides a common ground, where people from different cultures, different backgrounds, different situations in life can meet and engage each other. The rules and goals are clearly defined and universal, the environment is familiar and controlled, the competition connects people from all over the world. I might not understand all the joys and pains associated with being an Ethiopian child growing up on the streets of Addis Ababa ...
