Birthday
My birthday was amazing here thanks to all the nice e-mail and ecards I received from all around the world. You guys are amazing. But also have to thank the great colleagues who really surprised me with actually having a present for me. You guys are great, thanks:
Adam, Adrian, Asnaketch, Azeb M, Azeb W, Bart, Emmanuel, Hiwot, Janvier, Kwabia, Leonce, Ralf, Roza, Reto, Susana, Tsedale, Yetonayet and especially Wengel who arranged the whole thing.
Actually my colleagues at ESPD (Economic and Social Policy Division) have been amazing since the first day and really made me feel at home very fast. I salute you my friends.
Drivers license
After driving around Addis without a valid drivers license for a while (had to bring Femi up and down to the Dutch embassy and a trip to Awash) I finally got my Ethiopian drivers license this Friday. Quite a hassle, but with the help from the transport-office here at UNECA I managed (well they managed I just had to pay and show my face at the right desk).
Visitors
After the great experience of “youth hostel Jakob, the cheapest in town” in Copenhagen it seems I have arrived at yet another one. Jens has now become an official non-official AIESEC’er after hosting random guests we both never met before, but hey they were in AIESEC and cool so we offer them the guestroom here (well first of all Jens was so amazing to offer a room to me the day he met me, so it’s part of his hospitable personality).
By now we have had Femi (Nigerian from AIESEC International) and Alicia & Brian (American AIESEC-trainees in Egypt) all came over for a visit to this wonderful country.
So if you feel like having a break and come over to Ethiopia feel free to knock on our door. The rainy season is almost over and the weather is really getting better even at the 2600 m altitude here in Addis.
