Happy New Year መልካም አዲስ ዓመት! Ethiopia isn't quite on the same calendar as everyone else, and they do things their own way. They've got their own coffee -- hell, they invented it. They've got their own, ahem, stimulants 🍃. They've even got their own questionable local liquor made out of honey.
Perhaps as a result, you can find some pretty unique people from around the world there. They even have a community of Rastafarians living there who came to be closer to Hailie Selassie, the former Emperor, who they thought was God. And it was there that I found someone REALLY unexpected.
Join us on this strange but somehow hilarious trip from Addis Ababa to Shashamene and Wondo Genet, from the capital to the lands of the Oromos.
