Imee in Addis!

31 October 2007, 07:09 , by Imelda TJAHJA

 

Dear Friends,
How are you?… Hope this finds you well. I just came back from my one week trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The city was great, it has so many beautiful old churches & the weather was very cold! My friend & I stayed at Sheraton Addis & Hilton Addis which are well known as one of the finest hotels in Africa & in fact, it was indeed really luxury stays! (This time I decided to stay at luxury hotels ‘just’ to celebrate my birthday, I wanted to relax & enjoy my life as I am getting ‘older’ now…)

Tour agency took us to Habesha Restaurant to enjoy Ethiopian traditional dinner with live music & dancing on the last evening of our trip before we were dropped-off to the airport to return to Khartoum, it was fun! I really enjoyed the Ethiopian food & their dancing, the dancers’ bodies were really moving & shaking especially their shoulders, they were very energic! Attached are some of our pics…

Now I’m fresh & ready to start to work for another 6-7 weeks in the most muddy place in Sudan… Malakal!

Cheers,
 Imelda

Hi Imelda…
it seem we have two things in common : just come back from holidays and ‘getting older’ :)’. Happy Belated birthday… may all the magic of life will come in every time you breath.

Warm regard from Bandung – Indonesia

Hola Mbak Imelda, happy belated birthday ya. Aku suka banget dengan postingan foto2nya. Kelihatannya gak kayak di Afrika. Kayak di salah satu negara di Eropa. Jadi tergelitik nih tahu lebih jauh ttg sejarah Etiopia. Mungkin mbak bisa cerita, mungkin dari situs/tempat2 yang Mbak kunjungi selam adi sana.

Happy working ya..

Kinshasa, Aku Datang!
Sang pramugari berusaha menenangkan dan membawa barang mereka ke bagasi lain yang masih kosong. Namun sang istri ngotot ingin barang – barang itu tak jauh – jauh dari mereka. Lelaki kulit putih yang kulihat di ruang tunggu duduk di sampingku. Akhirnya setelah hampir satu jam mengatur para penumpang beserta barang bawaannya, pesawat pun lepas landas. Jangan berharap bisa tidur selama perjalanan. Aroma tak jelas sudah bukan masalah besar lagi. Perjalanan dari Bangkok menuju Nairobi membuat hidungku terbiasa dengan bau khas ini. Suara penumpang tak ada hentinya. Suami istri yang tadinya meributkan bagasi yang penuh kini tengah berdebat, entah memperdebatkan apa. Sang suami sibuk dengan kalkulator super gedenya sementara sang istri tak ada hentinya menjerit, meneriakkan instruksi kepada sang suami.
