Ethiopia

So we are here! After six relentless days of travelling we have entered into the country that is proving to be the biggest culture shock of the trip so far. Very few people here speak English, it's really only Amharic here, which is a dialect of Arabic, and so we can't understand a word. The signs on all the buildings are in Amharic, which basically looks like the sribbling of a 3 year old child, rendering them completely useless. We have deciphered that the word toilet looks like an alien evolving. Sounds wierd, but it's worked so far.

We'll definitely write a post about the 6-day adventure to get here, but the internet at the moment is quite temperamental. The government has a monopoly over the internet, landline and cellular providers - which means that we can't get much done. Even our blog is banned in Ethiopia. We can only load posts, not access the actual website. So, posts may become a bit infrequent from now on, but all know that we are alive, well and having the time of our lives!
