Happy New Year 1998 Continued.....
Cool, I also get to receive Happy New Year cards!!! Many of them are addressed to the employes of the company or more likely 'Ericsson Stuff', though i did get a couple of personal ones..... they all go on my window sill!!!
Btw, I found out that the real start of the New Year is at our 6am, which makes it Ethiopia's 12am...... No wonder there isn't much celebration, who would want to stay awake till 6am.... or wake up at 6am to open a bottle of champagne???
A couple of sheep slaughtering and chicken murdering is done on the day..... but unlike Egypt they keep the streets clean, so no rivers of blood flowing down the street...
I'll be celebrating my Ethiopian New Year with the UN ECA Faranji's over an Indian Dinner.... we were cordially invited to a dinner by Sjoerd/Jens colleague who turns out to be an Indian/Aussie married to a German.....
