Making a local connection Ethiopia

On August 2015 I travelled with my father and brother in to the southern part of Ethiopia.It was not my first time because I had come to the same place when I was seven in 2004.The place is the home town of my father he is so passionate about his childhood stories so we had to go and share memories on the stories that he told us. It is in Ethiopia but the culture is quite different from the capital city as it is a rural area and the food the language extra was different for me and my brother.The people were welcoming as well as loving thus we never felt like a guest out their we were more like friends with the young fellows. We stayed for couple of weeks then had to leave because I was about to start a new college education in Addis Ababa Ethiopia,for the coming months.I still perish that summer because I was about to start a new journey as a college student,making this vacation more of an extraordinary refreshment.
