Lalibela

I come here because of the photo of the rock-hewn church. Here, the church was carved from the top of the rock and formed the whole church. You can image the work required during 12-century.

South Omo

Mursi, Hamer, Benna, Karo...... different tribes in South Omo area. Each has their own dressing, hut, hair style, custom. It is quite difficult to access them with public transportation. So, I joined a luxury tour on 4WD for 10 days with another English girl who I met in travel forum over the web.

The people are really still living their own way with nothing from modern world. However, when our jeep arrived at each village, everybody come and ask us to take photos for them which cost around 2 HKD for each shot.

Below pls find a vidoe tape of the traditional dance of Hamer tribes.

Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa of Ethiopia, the first place I stepped in Africa. Here, even in Africa but at an attitude of 2400m high, weather are really cool. Not the feel that you will expect in Africa.

The people are really friendly here which I cannot find elsewhere. Most people will smile at you.

The Mercato, the largest market on the African continent, are big with lots of people.

I am going to South Omo Valley by 4WD tomorrow for 10 days to visit different tribes...

By the way, the internet connection here is really really slow.
