Gday,
Yes Im still an Aussie. Though its not hard to forget as you walk down the street and are in the minority and get lots of stares and requests for assistance.
This is an amazing land and Im loving journeying through it.
It has and is changing me. Too hard to pinpoint or describe. Many coffees worth of discussion material :-) Indeed there is more benefit for me than from me (not surprising really).
Have just spent 4 weeks journeying around Ethiopia, so will be sad to leave it. Youll be impressed that Ive been drinking coffee over here :-) it is very tasty and the caffeine hasnt affected me the way it does with coffees in Oz. Ive also enjoyed learning Amharic and eating the local food: the various sauces with the traditional injeras have been lovely :-)
The next couple of weeks are going to be challenging as we fly to Nairobi this afternoon then head over land and sea via buses, trains, boats and hitching (?) to make our way through Tanzania and Mozambique to get to Malawi where we will link up with long term missionaries there. We cant really help them much in the short time we are there, but we can do some things to enable them to continue ministry and bring encouragement to them.
Need to run. Take care.
Chao (an Amharic word, but borrowed I would think) :-)
