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.

When life becomes routine my friends and I often try to do something different. That was what happened last month.
It is easy to think of the city of Harar as an old city of ruin, but easier to depart from it with a lasting taste of a city of harmony and love
Henok Wondyirad (PhD)
When I first planned to go to Harar a few weeks ago, I never thought to experience anything new. All that I had imagined was an old city (probably half in ruin) surrounded by its inhabitants deeply addicted with khat (a mild narcotic) and Shisha (Hookah). On top of that my previous information about the people of Harar, a city in the eastern part of Ethiopia some 336 kms from Addis Ababa, was not a pleasant one. I heard that socially they were careless, less trustworthy and that they curse each other as if they are blessing one another.
But, there was also another legend I knew: Harar is a city of love.
