Kz Hotel Addis Ababa

... agli uffici e alle camere per gli ospiti e lungo il tragitto abbiamo osservato come la città fuori dai nostri finestrini é avanti anni luce rispetto alla nostra amata Pugnido.<br><br>Addis Abeba è una città vera e propria con tanto di negozi, vetrine, insegne luminose, parchi, strade a 3 corsie, vigili e tutto quello che caratterizza una metropoli tradizionale. Si passa in un attimo da una strada asfaltata con negozi molto belli a strade sterrate con negozi fatti ...

... bug bites were that easy to chase away. That's okay; I listen to the African stuff over there. I have a reputation as a contrary S-O-B to uphold, you know. Maybe I miss my wife. I'm human, too. Africa is a tough nut to crack for me. I'm not French after all. I need all the help I can get. At times Ethiopia reminds me of Guatemala, and other times Bolivia, but the analogies with Thailand keep coming ...

Yet another spectacular day. This is how I imagined Africa would look. We drove along rolling hills past scattered villages. The river beds here are really dramatic; steep and formed by flood erosion which has met hard rock. This country in flood would be a sight to see. Miles, the previous chef of the company, and the guy who has been training me finished his gig in Addis Ababa. So its just me running the kitchen now. It will ...

... distributing the food parcels on the instruction of Yosuf, who knows the needs of all of the inhabitants. This compound of about 60 people is one of several, giving a permanent population of about 1500 people. Self sufficiency looks to be a fair way off, but hopefully our kit and the proceeds from the bus will help to push them in the right direction. Personally, I'd rather help a few people with a significant aid package, rather than just donate a few quid ...

... hard here. A lot of people are doing a lot of really good things here and I guess the wisest alternative is to give to reputable organization. I am so sad to leave Ethiopia (everything except the squattie potties!), but I know that I will go back another time. It is a wonderful culture of extremely hospitable, positive, and loving people. I have so many more photos and can't wait to talk to you about this amazing trip!

Hello from the land of revered former leader Hailie Selassie--Ethiopia. I am presently in a fancy hotel, by my standards (eg $50. +), using my own in room internet connection. Classy furniture, and a shower that also functions as a steam bath. What am I doing in such a fancy establishment? Well Ethiopian ...

... Made it through the morning rush hour traffic to meet with both UN organizations and shared our important observations and needs assessments on the status of the Afar refugees, education, and health. We are all back safely in Ethiopia's capital after an exciting, adventurous, and successful Mission up North to the Afar Region! Two more days left to tie loose ends and see Addis before we leave for Dubai Sunday night on our journey home to Canada!

... suffering from goitre, the large swelling of the neck, which is so easily treatable. I found this extremely depressing and frustrating, as the government here could deal with these cases simply by educating people to eat iodised salt. On a more positive note, we were at least able to help one person in Lalbela. a 17-year old chap called Ashenafy, who had guided us on the path to Ashten Maryam. He asked if we couold buy him some books for school. Initially we were very ...

... of the embassy, Mrs R felt a tug on her backpack; simultaneously Mr R glanced around to find someone with a hand in her bag.  Mr R took the law into his own hands offering some traditional Cumbrian hospitality (like wot they do on White'aven High St on a Friday night), whilst administering several expletives to our potential thief.  This scene was broken up by a couple of sodiers from the embassy's compound.  We explained what had happened ...
