This blog was used to talk about our Ethiopia experience, now we live in Mexico city and talk about that instead
So we are now back in Addis for a few days sorting out paperwork before we leave. We are UK bound next week. I had been pestering Jen to write a post before this on current events however for some reason she didn’t want to (I didn’t know what to write!!!!- Jen). Therefore I will [...]
It’s been a while since my last post unfortunately, work was busy and then we left for Addis for a week. Jen will write up a post on what happened in the last few weeks (of which quite a bit occurred) as I tend to miss important details. So instead I’m going to waffle on [...]
This is a kind of ‘summary’ post on what we have been up to in the last few weeks. It has been a month of ups and downs ranging from the massacre of our chickens, preparing and delivering another workshop, swine flu and preparing to leave Ethiopia. I will start at the very beginning.
Upon our [...]
There are many things slowing down Ethiopia’s development, and each person that you ask will give a different reason. Jen would say it’s because all the men here are barbaric and stop, stare and shout obscenities at you in the street. Whereas others say it’s the lack of skilled workers or the towering bureaucracy or [...]
I am under strict orders to come up with this week’s blog post however Bren and I both decided that we would make this blog more of an ‘announcement’ than an actual post.
A few weeks ago we were debating what to do after our time here in Ethiopia comes to an end. We have both [...]
Its sods law that when I post a blog about having no work to do everything here goes mental and I barely have time to breathe, so I actually have had work to do for the last few weeks and I wanted to post this last week but just didn’t have the time.
One thing in [...]
I won’t say this post is another negative post, but it certainly isn’t positive either. For some reason I find it easier to write about the difficulties of living here since it gives me more to talk about. Plus if I write about all the fun I am having everyone will be thinking ‘git, you’re [...]
Here is another apology for the lack of posts here recently. The internet has been appalling for several weeks and only just got to the state where I can load the websites without waiting several hours. Cheers to the hopped up monkey sailors that managed to sever all the communication lines between Europe and Africa [...]
Jen keeps telling me off for being pessimistic and negative in my blog posts, so after spending the last few sleepless nights hearing and hunting for a giant rat in our house I am going to write about all the things that are great here in Ethiopia. I apologise if this comes off as a [...]
This week’s post is a little brief as trying to get anything written on a PC is a nightmare. It was actually Jen’s turn to post, however she has been ill for the last few days and will post another time.
The reason for the lack of contact is that power cuts have become a regular occurance [...]
