RE: The Castles Of Fasil Ghebbi, Ethiopia (Part 1)
When we returned from South Africa (where I to my both my daughter's annoyance had talked to all the taxi drivers asking them about where they came from (they were all migrants)) we took a cap in the airport in Copenhagen and this time I only chatted with the driver. None less he told us that he was from Ethiopia :) During the talk about South Africa he said this: "It is because black people are lazy and don't want to work!" Slightly funny considering that he was just as black as the people in South Africa, but it goes to show how strong a culture these East African nations have. They really think of themselves as something special jst like Europeans, Persians, Chinese and Indians.
Great photos!
You know God created man equally in his own image so that whter blak or white, europian or African, .......no difference. we all are especial but Ethiopia is different.
when i say Ethiopia is, i mean we have many unique things. we use our own time and calendar, our own words, we are land of origin (source of man kind), ancient civilized nation more than 3000 years of history, never colonized, warrior (defeated Italian in 1888), full of historical and cultural treasure so that one of the best tourist destiny, the only nation which has thirteen months of a year...........manay many many more................
thanks a lot @kathrsisdrill and also @joshman
Yes :) Ethiopian culture is really special in so many ways!
Many people see Africa the continent as an amalgam of peoples, and nothing can be further from the truth. This is partly because western culture has painted them that way. It is diverse in so many ways, and currently hosts some of the fastest growing economies.

In School I once had a teacher who showed us how westernocentric we were and after that I put some efforts into geography and history of the places I didn't know. That has really been a great investment. People really like that you have a general idea about their home country - if can name the language(s) that are spoken it's even better.
One of my funniest projects here on Steemit was to make pulp fiction illustrations to this young Nigerian (Igbo) bloke's short stories. Here's illustrations for the first part
