After you have finished your meal you may, out of habit, place your napkin on your plate. Do not do it here! If there is any food left, the restaurant will give this to poor people after they close. If you put the napkin on it – they won’t. It is a really hard habit to break, but please remember to leave your napkin on the table when you finish.

Me in the mirror :-)

As eating with your fingers is the local custom in all Ethiopia, washing your hand before is a real must. All restaurants have a fountain/tap outside so you can wash your hands before/after lunch.

Playing at the streets

This is one of the few "western" games I saw children play here. It seemed to be very popular and tables were always in the streets, outside bars and cafes.

selling corn

If you arrive by bus, you will have the chance to see these girls selling corn at the stops. Many people buy it to have some pastime during the bus ride. It's a kind of roasted corn, hard.
