Go to any Ethiopian restaurant across the country and ask for a beyayenetu aka fasting platter... so many flavours in one meal 😋

I learnt that for almost 200 days of the year, people across Ethiopia fast - which basically means they eat no animal products. Vegans

You will encounter men women and children panhandling. At least in my part of town. They are not aggressive. At the same time, the city is going through exciting change and growth. I will be back, I enjoyed the culture and food.
