		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I have never been able to replicate the feeling. I have never been able to sleep that way. No 200 dollar down comforter could ever replace the comfort  ye’Emiyes Gabi gave me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I am homesick! Living a life was in Addis. Making a living is in the US. I want ye'Emiyes Gabi too!</description>

		<description>Okay, this can not be! This picture does not only look like the neighborhood I grew up in, but come to think of it....I think it is &lt;strong&gt;my neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt; If there is anyone here in this blog who is from &lt;strong&gt;CherQos&lt;/strong&gt; please holla. I remember the night I stole &lt;strong&gt;YeTeLa TaSa&lt;/strong&gt; from &lt;strong&gt; YenDale Enat'S&lt;/strong&gt; door step just down the street from our house. Ohhh, I regret that day. In my old neighborhood, everything used to be just $.50 cents...you can buy &lt;strong&gt;ShiRo&lt;/strong&gt; lunch for 50 cents, three pieces of &lt;strong&gt;ChornaQE&lt;/strong&gt;, 0.50 cents, if you're old enough to get laid, you can get a decent &lt;strong&gt;prostitute&lt;/strong&gt; for 50 cents... anything you can imagine, you used to get it for 50 cents... But the sound of rain on &lt;strong&gt;YeNaTiyE TaRA&lt;/strong&gt; was priceless...</description>

		<description>One more thing, Wedi Bole, I find it very very sad that most kids that grow up in well-off families have a sheltered existence in Addis and relate to the poverty through their TV screens as though it has absolutely nothing to do with them. I am saying that cos I grew up like that myself. We can't build a brighter future, if we can't at least agree that we are part of the same nation and the eradication of poverty benefits us all. Walking around the cities clubs,paying 1600 insanities for parties in Sheraton and cities of &lt;em&gt;" &lt;strong&gt;Wuche Ager&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;/em&gt; tellings sorries of successful parents. Don't try to live through your parents success son and see a doctor for a humility pill.</description>

		<description>Wedi Bole, you should be extremely embaressed by your comment. Not because you didn't grow up under-privillaged like most of Ethiopia, but because having grown up in Bole, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, you even don't have the one characteristic Ethiopian behavior of modesty. This might come as a surprise to you but your having grown up in Bole should make you grateful than proud cos you had done NOTHING to deserve it and you got it because you happened to be the son of a hardworking opportune person. It takes opportunity with hardwork to make it and not everyone gets that opportunity but that in no way means they are lazy.
And for your information, I grew up in Bole too but it doesn't mean shit! It's your parents' success story, not yours! 
One more point, there are a lot of ppl who live in the Bole vicinity that are struggling to survive... in a way,  it really is as real as the people who live on one meal a day in the US so Wedi Bole, Grow up!</description>

		<description>Wedi Bole, First of all you name SUCKS! LOL It's suppose to be the "Son of Bole"?  Geggema! LOL

Looking down your own people and country is a disgrace to your self! Do you want to know why your father was smart business men, cause he was born and raised with smart people as my Grandfather... Your father had an Ethiopian parents, always aiming High for him but never forgotten where they come from!! I hope you can learn something to my grandfather courage when he was growing up! For your sake please read this...??

  Ethiopia is very different place now, if that's what you mean... Like when my Grandfather used to tell me &lt;em&gt;"We came back from school, we didn't come in and watch TV or play our music because we didn't have it. Infact me and my friend Alemu used to skip down our road or play ball in the street. As for food,"&lt;/em&gt; he said waving a Banana under my nose, &lt;em&gt;"We had none of this. We didn't have penny sweets and candy or cigarettes... We had very little rations," &lt;/em&gt;He added hastily seeing the disbelieving look on my face. &lt;em&gt;"We had very little butter and meat and Milk was considered a luxury and a delicacy. I actually remember helping to catch wild Rabbit for food although it didn't happen often. We didn't books, Talking about school we used to learn to write Wooden plate and nothing else. I remember once getting the stick for writing straight up without a tilt in my lettering. Transport was very different in those days too, and as I was brought up in the country, I had to walk 4 miles through a cow field everyday to get to school. Then in the Rainy Season, I had to travel back from school in the evenings, it was dark, feeling my way to stop me bumping into a cow."&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Wedi Bole.. what an ugly comment! not even 1% of the Ethiopian people are getting all the proper necessities of life....

THe thing about ethiopians is that we have a great sense of humor that lets us live a good life inspite of our misfortunes...

		<description>Shalom, the Northern historical route is a good *introduction* to traveling outside Addis. It's Ethiopia's main tourist trail with relatively good transport links, decent hotels, and awesome sights. The ease and convenience is what really makes me recommend it (above other places in Ethiopia) as a good introduction. I think traveling that route will definitely inspire you to discover other parts of the country and will give you the experience to combat travel to other less-traveled (tougher) sites that are far more rewarding.</description>

		<description>yonas, scrap the first paragraph.. you don't need to cross oceans and do all that to hang with "grade A &lt;em&gt;guragnoch&lt;/em&gt;") ...but i was following you - nodding heads &lt;em&gt;minamin &lt;/em&gt;- until the screeching halt at 

&lt;blockquote&gt;The Northern historical route (Axum, Bahr Dar, Gondar, Lalibela) is awesome and serves as a nice easy introduction for discovering the real Ethiopia.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Why do most people first recommend North ET as "explorations outside Addis"? WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF ETHIOPIA???!!!???</description>

		<description>Sheraton is ok, what's not cool is spending all your time there. It's great to mix it up with azmari betoch, piassa/bole cafes, bars, clubs and tej betoch to get the diverse sides of Addis. I once spent a night downing champagne in Sheraton (amongst grade A guregnoch), followed by a traumatic visit to an azmari bet where I was cussed incessantly, followed by a crawl through local bars until I passed out on areqe shots wearing my gabi in a small tej bet. A surreal experience that I find difficult to forget.

&lt;strong&gt;Temelkatch&lt;/strong&gt;. Addis has a lot to offer. Once nyalasmoke submits part II of his Addis adventures that will give you further clues on what's available. I always find the local theatre, cinema and stadium football matches very entertaining. The atmosphere is fantastic as the audience are fully immersed in the spectacle. You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy the stadium, just the atmosphere of a big game and listening to the latest 'n' greatest tereba will have you laughing for days. Check out http://www.thisisaddis.com/ for what's going in film, music, arts in Addis. It looks reasonably uptodate.

I have to say the best that Ethiopia has to offer is outside Addis. Get the Lonely Planet guide for Ethiopia and start exploring. The Northern historical route (Axum, Bahr Dar, Gondar, Lalibela) is awesome and serves as a nice easy introduction for discovering the real Ethiopia.</description>

		<description>Ene emelew, ain't no Amaregna Zefen in Sheraton for the New Year malet new?....call me cynical, but why go all the way to Addis to see the American entertainers when it's right around the corner from the present residence?
I'll bet the Ethiopian population will increase by a significant amount for a matter of 2-4 weeks in the month of September next year...</description>

		<description>Damn, Marena-Wotete, that's like the Harlequin novels I used to read in high school. Love reading your poems but ahhhh define serategna? I think you gave the title a whole new meaning. Let's break it down, sera-tegna, what do you think? Except in your case it is serta-tegnach. What's that all about, benefit's package? Who's the beneficiary? ha/ha. You done good! I hope you still keep in touch with her.

I heard there is nothing happening at The Sheraton. You know Beyonce is not going anywhere, her boody shaking behind will be somewhere in Houston. What they need to do is bring 50 cent and show Mr Ja how it's done. I'd buy a ticket to that show.

Nolawi, after so long....enjoy it like you've never been there.

Arada, life is somewhat fair, the people in the run down villages don't have to worry about a credit card bill, lol.</description>
