Coffee Ceremony

Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world, but even so, the hospitality is always present. Scented and cut grass is always on the floor as a welcome carpet for visitors and almost everywhere we could see it as we were visiting during the period of New Year.
The coffee cerimony is a must for any tourist and we could not avoid to drink a few cups during our trip.

Adis Ababa and its sheep

One of the main attraction in Adis Ababa is all the sheep walking around the city.

Those sheep were around the downtown

and those on the road to the airport

Ethiopia - Adis Ababa

We spent the New Year of 2013 in Ethiopia and Tanzania.

Our first good impression was the Ethiopian Airlines, with a 787 flying from Beijing to Adis Ababa, it was a smooth journey with a good service.

Arriving

One of our first stop is to visit the National Museum. Ethiopia is a one of the oldest Christian countries, but all the pictures were almost like a cartoon.
