Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

2004-02-25

a couple of us went over to run an ETD workshop in Addis Ababa for Ethiopian universities ... i didnt take my camera but a disposable did the trick

the room in the Semien Hotel ... before we left SA i was told it was the "Semen Hotel", which sounded, err, a bit dodgy

view of the street from the hotel balcony ... note all the public transport in blue and white and the general dustiness

strange colonial-oriental building across the street surrounded by shack-like buildings
