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...

13 months of sunshine...

Ethiopia's line to attract tourists is to say that Ethiopia has 13 months of sunshine... LIE my friends, big fat lie.

Yes there is 13 months, but from June to September, you only see the sun from 6am to 7 am, when you are lucky. Two weeks of proper heavy rain, and I am just craving for some sun (I know, it is not fair, I already had 9 months of awsome weather!). But the rain here is just... very very wet. It gets extremely cold in a few minutes, the road are becoming rivers. Yesterday, I saw people contructing a bridge to be able to cross the road! Every path becomes muddy and you can't see any thing when you drive. The problem is that people to avoid to get wet walk in the middle of the road!

Also, the rainy season is accompanied by twice more power cut, weird bugs, very scary storms, hale etc...

3 months to go! Can't wait...
