The sound of young Ethiopia
Just been playing with the new and rather shaky blog search engine Opinmind - and it has opened up a an un-tapped corner of the Ethiopian blogosphere - un-tapped by me that is.
It has done this by searching blogs hosted by LiveJournal and Xanga, services predominantly used by younger bloggers. It makes a nice change from the vitriolic politics of the country's grown-up online dialogue.
Here is Ethiopian girl

And here is Catty Cabbages
In other news, Ethiopian food is very very good. Also, Ethiopia is supposed to have the highest concentration of beautiful people on earth. And they defeated the Italian army when armed with bows and arrows as opposed to guns. Obviously, this is the place to be.
I won't be checking up on them very often - there is something a little creepy about a 35-year-old guy listening in on the conversations of teenagers. But it was refreshing to find them nonetheless.

Wow! It took me so long to decipher what " i <3 ed it " meant. I guess this is how 'i'm too old for that' starts...
