i lived here for about a year cuz my gran lived there so it was a good place to be and it was good for shopping too and i loved their food and the smell of coffee even though i hate coffee so i didnt taste it and i was tutored a little on making Anjera i think that is how you spell it, i dont really know and i also picked up a few sentences which i have kind of forgoten now. the people are nice too and if you not in the capital, its got some great green mountains i dont remember what they were called. but when it rained then you were in hell but you get to adapt to it after a while and sometimes you lose a shoe or two in the mud and have a laugh about it after you get home and clean up.

We have an exchange student at our school this year that is from Addis Ababa. Even if I didn’t go for any other reason, I’d go to see him after he goes home this summer. He is awesome! haha anyway, It would be awesome to go and experience a culture completely different from my own.
