Impressions of Ethiopia

Before leaving the camp in Khartoum, we came in contact with the national sudanis federation of handicaped people, they discussed 3 days about improving their situation 

...here the result for a women in weelchair

After Khartoum it´s getting more and more africaaaa

typical subsaharian houses

Bordercrossing to Ethiopia

the nomads go north, with a lot of animals, but we drive south
and end up in a bordel at the border for the night,
no good sleep on a lot of flees

After crossing the border, everything changes - like a cut with a big knife, here some impressions:

Roads

road-



conditions

 

People



the girls



and the boys

the men

and, I put no pictures from the women, because
they are too beautiful, if you want to see them just
fly down here...

Friends

new friends, ups and a beautiful women

the gunman was compulsory to cross the Simien Mountains,
so i had him 5 days on my back, friends...

Surroundings

Blue Nile Falls, now in the end of rain-season the water is brown

the Landscape, Ethiopian Highland,
we move allways between 2500 and 4200 meters,
so our tent is frozen every morning

water falls not only from the mountains - we get
our first thunderstorms after 2 month

Religion



no more islam, now we are in orthodox territory
with its famous rock hewn churches 



The way of working

rural farming

shoe for you

woodworks

So we want to show here only a few impressions about northern Ethiopia, to much different pictures are in our heads, so we do not have a fixed meaning about this country, and we are still in the middle of Ethiopia
 in Addis Abeba, so we looking forward south.
Here in Ethiopia, the year has 13 month, time is totally different, for 7 am, ethiopians say 1 o`clock, because it is one our after sunrise and by the way, here they call not 2011, but 2004, so back to the future...

A lot of nice people, but also a lot of rock-throwing children, people who are shouting at us, extreme poverty, beautiful landscape, stopping at the steet for a piss ends after half minute with at least 50 people standing arround you watching...
our brains are under construction!
