30 days

Well it is now 30 days until my flight to Ethiopia. There is a huge psychological difference I felt from 40 days to 30 days....now it seems like my flight is any second now. and there is so much still to do...not with Ethiopia per se, I've decided on just winging it with the visa and I'll get the one at the airport when I arrive, and besides that ( Read more... )

It's funny, my concept of Ethiopian food comes from eating in restaurants, so I keep wondering whether your every meal there (whatever it may be) will be servedon a giant pancake (injera).
And whatever you do, stay away from their coffee. It's twice as strong as espresso.

I hope you'll post on LJ sometime while you're over there, just to let us all know that things are great and we don't need to worry about you.

hehe well that's traditional ethiopian food sure...but they have other stuff like pizza and pasta. I've had injera once and it was yummy until it started getting super soggy, so I'll just have to remember to eat quickly. :P plus there was some vegetable that has a bluish-purple tint that dyed the injera and that just grossed me out as well.

hehe, yeah a caffeine sensitive person like me should never go near their coffee, but I might bring some back and brew it at my own strength since its supposed to be really tasty.

I'm definitely going to try to post...the internet is pretty screwy there so it definitely won't be very frequent, but its not like you can keep an internet junky like me away from the computer for long!

thanks!

for better or for worse, I don't have any finals, just papers. which means that I know the topics already, I just have to be able to sit still enough to read about the topic enough to write several papers. that's the hard part for me. :/
