Coffee- a whole ceremony!
I guess coffee should have been grouped together with the food, but we are not only talking about making a cup of coffee! Read about the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, where the concept of time disappears. In Ethiopia coffee even grows wild, so why is there a shortage? This and more you will find here.Picture of Coffee Beans available at AllPosters

Ethiopians love music!
The music of Ethiopia is very different. Even if it is new to our ears, it can still be very pleasurable. The theme of most songs- Love! Since that is a universal topic, it is worth listening to. There are different kind of tunes, as well as instruments.Get cool picture of Saxophone from AllPosters

Famous Ethiopians
There are many Ethiopians who are famous, both from the past and the present. Do names like Haile Selassie, Derartu Tulu and Haile Gebreselassie ring a bell? Probably. But we also look at others. The subject has been divided - male and female!
Finally I have also included the great artist Maitre Afewerk Tekle, who has been creating art for decades. His work is loved by people all over the world.

Do you like proverbs?
Ethiopians love proverbs, especially the old people. There is one for almost anything in life. Here is a sample of these wise sayings!
Ethiopians love their jewellery
Ethiopian jeweelery is unique, and very beautiful. The country is rich in natural resources, there is gold and opals to be found!
Become younger
13 months of sunshine
Ethiopians have a different concept of time. This is not only to imply that they are often late for appointments, but they actually have a completeley different way of counting time. When going to Ethiopia, you will become seven to eight years younger- according to their calendar!

- I was supposed to go to Ethiopia to install a computer system for one of the petroleum companies, but the project got downsized. The previous computer had bullet holes in from some of the problems there...

- a visit to Ethiopia has just been added to my bucket list. I've loved Ethiopian food since the first time I tried it (more years ago than I will admit to). This lenses have really piqued my interest in learning even more about this incredible country. Nice to have the links all in one place. Thank you.

- Never been to Ethiopia or met an Ethiopian, but have listened to Ethiopian music and feel an emotional connect. Ethiopia doesn't seem foreign to me.
