Merry Ethiopian Christmas
I will be getting into the Genna spirit midair on the way back to Addis. If anyone is still shopping around for the perfect gift, why not try the Holiday Special III.
UPDATE: Here's my interesting Ethiopian Christmas fact for 1998. In the UK, children leave mince pies and carrots out for Father Christmas and his reindeer on Christmas Eve. In Ethiopia they brew him up a pot of black coffee - a much more appropriate gift if you consider Santa's schedule. That is according to Yonas Kabede's column 'Santa Claus and Christmas Trees' in yesterday's issue of Fortune.

Melkam genna to you too. What I recommend for your habesha Genna is 'Gored Gored' + 'Kitfo' + 'Zilzil Tibis' + 'Shish kibeb'. I wish Ms. Wrong could also go there and see..you know - been there ate that - she will then stop offending a whole society!
I just found this cooool site for a list of restaurants.

I just found your blog. The photos are stricking and it's very interesting to have your kind of point of view (a distance regarding events and yet completely involved).
