Next Destination - ETHIOPIA
I can't beleive i am actually saying this, never in a 100 years would i have dreamt of saying that i'm heading to work in Ethiopia with an awsome multinational company - Especially a telecommunications company, knowing how IT ignorant i am!!!
Anyhow today was the final do!!! After a long 2 1/5 hours teaching Egyptians how to write English i headed off to Ericsson to sign my agreement and thus give my final yes.
The job is great, the salary is awsome, plus I'll be a border away from Kenya (the country I have been wanting to go to for the past 5yrs)
I am now in the heart of Africa, I'll thus acheive my childhood dream of living amongst the tribes (though i'll doubt if i'll find any in the Hilton) and getting to experience the untouched Ethiopian Culture. I'll make sure to write in detail....
No my dear Kate no AIESEC in Ethiopia... Yet!
Anyhows, all more than welcome to visit me - Jen will be waiting for you!!!
Should be stationed in Ethiopia for 4 months or a bit more!!!
And if anyone has any contacts there - especially of Rastafarians (have to make Tom jealous), or knows anything about the country please tell me!! :D

Congratulations Thea, I'll be waiting to know a lot more about Ethiopia trough your weblog of course.
GO KICK SOME ETHIOPIAN ASSES!

I will gladly clean footprints in any corner of the world!
However Thea, I believe that Holly should compensate us for our efforts.
The next time we are together she should get us a falafel sandwich.

So you also fell under the African spell, the one that steals your soul and doesn't let you go away...
Keep a corner for me in your Hilton room cause I will go to visit you, I also lost my heart in Africa and need to go to see if I can find it.
All the best in this new dream.
