Oliver Pepper: Time Spent In Ethiopia

This is where Ethiopia is… It’s called the horn of Africa.

Or it looks like this

Interesting facts about Ethiopia:

1. It is the second most populous nation in Africa, with an estimated over 85 million humans living there.
2. Its Capital, Addis Ababa is also the Capitol and a state. And regarded around Africa as “the political Capital of Africa.”
3. Ethiopia is the world’s most populous landlocked country in the world.
4. Ethiopia has over 80 languages.
5. The general area of Ethiopia, is widely believed to be the site of the emergence of early Homo sapiens, 400,000 years ago.

This is what the flag of Ethiopia looks like:

On my tour I saw some splendid sights. This is a picture of Bete Giyorgis Lalibela:

These are the people that showed me all the wonderful sights of Ethiopia, they were very nice.:

Here is another great place my well armed friends took me to. It is called the Blue Nile Falls. A child was playing a noise maker that made my ears literally bleed, blood, out of my ear holes. I still enjoyed the waterfall as well as how much my company was laughing at my mustache and my bleeding ears! HI! OH!

This is what Ethiopia’s currency looks like, it’s called The Ethiopian Birr:

There was a little weirdness that comes along with these next few photos. One of my company: the one that had the most extreme looking gun, at lunch, took out a bag of white powder and smeared it across his gums. He then looked at me and dumped a hefty portion of the bag into my Pepsi. I thought this was common cultural behavior, so I said thank you. He said something that I didn’t understand, the rest all laughed at me. I laughed to. I ate my Sparrow with whatever sauce and downed my Pepsi. About a half hour later, the African Pepsi’s caffeine kicked in, big time. I couldn’t stop talking. I was frantically motioning at people and things, I caused a traffic accident. After several hours I realized that the reason I had become so hyper was not because of the African Pepsi, it was because I am quite certain that it was cocaine. Sorry mom, sorry Coyote Rush, sorry James Dust, sorry robots, sorry Brenda Johnson, sorry Henry Van Loon. Even though I remember some long nights with you guys in which non of us could stop talking, it was late, it was hazy, so who knows.

The pictures however are of the amazing, stunning, wondrous, nearly only can be explained as you are hallucinating while viewing it: Addis Ababa Exhibition Center.

My company of heavily armed, uniformed individuals told me in broken English that I should go back to my hotel and relax for a couple days. The trip across Ethiopia was going to be very hard and they would need more white powder if they were to be my security into Somalia.

That makes me wonder, how are we paying for this trip? This credit card looks fake and we have no money? Is there something I should know Coyote?
