		<description><![CDATA[I snapped this picture of a Coca Cola bottle last week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: I thought it was cool to see the famous brand name printed in something other than English. In the Amharic language the four characters spell &#8220;Coca Cola&#8221; phonetically: Co-ca Co-la. The bottom part apparently says &#8220;Trademark.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If smoking weed, growing dreadlocks, and listening to Bob Marley sounds good to you, you just might be a Rastafarian! There&#8217;s a lot more to it than that, but I&#8217;ll be damned if I ever meet a Rasta who can explain it without mentioning reggae music or marijuana. It&#8217;s quite popular here in Kenya, but [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s number 50 on the menu at the National Cafe in downtown Addis, next to the National Theater and the big lion statue. In Amharic it looks like this: ጥብስ ፍርፍር. Don&#8217;t say I didn&#8217;t warn you&#8230; I made a bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee and I can assure you they make a damn good cup of joe in Addis Ababa. The Ethiopians were never colonized, save a few years in the 1930s by the Italians, so the culture of drinking coffee is truly their own. Coffee has been drank ceremoniously in the region [...]]]></description>

Nobody&#8217;s explained it to me, but most of my Ethiopian colleagues have sworn off milk and meat until April, and there&#8217;s a man chanting over a loudspeaker in some church next to ILRI&#8217;s campus for hours at a time. I asked someone at lunch today what [...]]]></description>

The toursty thing to do there is to watch the hyenas being fed; we declined a guide and instead saw them rummaging through trash behind our hotel room. We even ran into some in the morning when [...]]]></description>
