The previous month was a remarkable month in my life. Sebastian, a friend of a friend, came to Ethiopia from Germany and we planned to show him around. Sebastian is a renowned veterinary surgeon in Germany. Planning to grasp some hard skills from him, I took the chance to be his personal guide in Ethiopia.

How great is it that this rainy season brings us plenty of sweet potatoes. This amazing tuber which is native to the Central America is not only easily available and tastes great, but is also a powerhouse of nutrients packed with many health benefits. But what is beneficial about sweet potatoes? They contain a great number of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and blood sugar-regulating nutrients which are great for you.

Many refer to Melaku Belay as one of Ethiopia’s most famous traditional dancers. They are not wrong. The 36 year old who speaks modestly about his wealth of experience has now formed a traditional band named Ethio-color. The troupe has returned to Ethiopia from a successful tour in Spain in July 2012. Melaku performs with the band at Fendika, a local bar, once in a fortnight on Fridays. The small place, which is located off Zewditu Street, is packed with people who want to see the performance and without a doubt is a top choice for Addis Ababa’s traditional dance and musical entertainment.
