Travels broaden the minds, so I've heard. Two years based in Ethiopia should be very exciting. You will find on these pages my impressions on Africa and may be on some other continents...

Les voyages forment la jeunesse parait-il. Deux années en Éthiopie devraient être passionnantes! Vous trouverez ici mes impressions de l'Afrique et peut être même sur d'autres continents...

Lesson learnt the hard way...

You know how sometimes, you take things for granted, especially in the 21st century and regarding technology. Example, broadband. A fast internet may appear to be a basic human right but, in some countries such as Ethiopia, dial up is still the main source for internet, giving you a slow, very slow, way to slow access to the web.

Well, I had a similar experience with a lift. Lifts, to be operating, need electricity. So when you live in a country which suffers frequently of power cut, and you work in building without a generator, use your legs and walk the stairs or be stranded in the elevator for an indefinite amount of time!
