13 months of sunshine. This is the claim of the government to attract tourists to Ethiopia. As much of the advertising is misleading. But do not apostéis anything because surely lose. It is true that your year has thirteen months in summer, however, hardly appears in the sun. Ethiopia is a strange country, where nothing is what it seems and everything is different from what one expects. Maybe that's why it is especially nice. Prefer not to Jordan or Namibia, but has also been one of the surprises of the trip.
According to their calendar, this is the year of the millennium. Not only are 7 days overdue, but also 7. In addition, the annual bill based on the Julian system so have 12 months of 30 days an additional 5 days, 6 in leap years. The names of the months are different from ours and do not coincide in time. Your New Year falls on September 11 and so endless nonsense. It's actually more logical than not to have worried the Roman Caesars to see which of them had more days in the month, if Julius or Augustus. Similarly, your day is as simple stopwatch overwhelming. Begin to count to twelve hours after the sun rises, so that at six in the morning is the one. And so until it gets dark. Then, the count starts again. 12 hours of sun, 12 hours dark. Its proximity to Ecuador so they can keep all year.
location is also this which causes our summer is their rainy season. In June, July and August, few rainy days where they do not fall in a storm. So, the whole country is now so intense green color that seems Euskadi. For something they call "greenland." But even more surprised as you read that international organizations are mobilizing to alleviate the famine due to drought in southern Ethiopia. Its soil is so porous that if water does not fall in 3 days, many of the crops are lost forever as much as after a pouring rain. It has always been and will remain so, despite its rainy season and despite his many and great lakes. The worst of cases was 25 years ago when millions of people died. While that happened, the country's president is spending 20% \u200b\u200bof the annual budget to prepare an International Communist Party Congress. In fact, in most of the affected areas, even let humanitarian aid came in retaliation for being lair of a group of rebels. More than 3 million people were left without any assistance. It is estimated that two out of three died. Cynical because those same communists were the ones who, when they overthrew the previous king, showed him a video with images of starving subjects combined with the monarch's drinking Champagne or feeding the lions of his own zoo. Tell me that boast and tell you what you lack.
policy is no exception in the uniqueness of Ethiopia and there are several records available. On the one hand, it is the only country in Africa that has never suffered any colonialism. Mussolini tried invade but just five years later, the Italians had to return to the fold in Eritrea. Furthermore, the monarch ruled over in the twentieth century than any other king of the world, lost the case even though no one dared to contradict him after so long. Finally, just 20, moved from absolute monarchy to be a communist state and then end up being a capitalist country. Although they are far behind, with deplorable roads and no running water for most people, it is surprising that with so much swing still be able to have a country so active.
But we told you that Ethiopia was different to any other site. Even its most famous monument is a unique example of architecture. The churches of King Lalibela. Eleven churches of the twelfth century, monolithic carved blocks dug down into the volcanic rock. The most famous Cross of St. George. A spectacular view of its cross-shaped roof leaving a gap of 30 meters open with hammers. Also in the north, you can visit but not to see the famous Ark of the Covenant, where Indiana Jones found in his first film. Only one monk has access to it, while the rest of us mortals have to believe that actually contains the tables of Moses. Nearby say about it are the ruins of the palace The Queen of Sheba, Solomon's wife. A couple of jumps in Fokker, the bus-airplane that Ethiopian Airlines passenger moves the tracks at times invaded by cows, may be the sources of the Blue Nile. These waterfalls were the fate of Western explorers for hundreds of years, sought obsessed began the exact spot where the famous river. In the south, however, the past is present. A dozen tribes, the most authentic of all Africa, still live in the same manner and with the same ritual for hundreds of years.
Like them, it seems that Ethiopian food is frozen in time. What always served in large trays covered of injera, a kind of crepe rolled and fluffy on discharging their dishes. To eat, tear out chunks of the local bread with the food holding it to his mouth. The tibs are particularly good, goat meat cut into pieces and a sauce made with onion, pepper and oil. And lentils, sauce or soup, but little else. I doubt we could take thirteen months eating only this but for thirteen days is a highly recommended trip. Word of travelers.
