Get to know the culture of Ethiopia? Maybe a thousand years ago.....sure. The only thing to know about their culture today is that they live on arrid land on the large part and the population has been systematically culled as a means of control for a hundred years now.

I hope your boss's home has 20 foot high surrounding walls and is called a compound.

Thanks for the input but I rather go for myself and see the country.

You are from Wisconsin, the only culture up there is in the cheese. That and very friendly obese women.

Visiting a foreign culture is good, and Ethiopian Airlines has always been a good carrier, with a good record.

I recall the walls, and the compounds. Mostly wealthy Italians, presumably left over from WWII, live in the compounds. The walls have broken glass bottles cemented at the top.

Somewhere I have a picture of the Ethiopian Emperor visiting us in Asmara.

I'd love to go back.
