As I type this post, the weather is cool with some drizzling outside my window in Chennai.
A few minutes back, as I was browsing the Net, I came across a wonderful website related to Ethiopia. The photographs and posts reminded me of my stay in Ethiopia in 1982-83 when I had the pleasure of teaching physics in Ethiopian High Schools. I remembered my frequent visits to Addis Ababa, a fabulous city with excellent amenities.

Right now I am relishing Ethiopian injera (a local pancake resembling Indian dosa) and the aromatic makkiatho (strong coffee with milk) at an imaginary level. As far as I know, Ethiopia is the only country where, I guess, you can order for 4 types of coffee: Bunnah (Amarhic term for black coffee), Bunnah Wotet (`Coffee with Milk'), Makkiatho (Coffee with a very small amount of milk) and Cuppuchino (the type of coffee left by Italians) even in modest restaurants. It is believed that the term `coffee' comes from `Kaffa', a province in Ethiopia.
