Yes, we moved to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Because my only internet connection works well for emails only, I decided to blog again, just to shout out what I feel and think (Facebook, whatsapp, line, Google+ don't work well, sadly).</p> <p dir="ltr">We have an amazing cook and a kind driver. The cook keeps feeding me a lot of yummy food, but surprisingly I can't eat a lot anymore here. Perhaps because my body cries for exercise haha. I like Ethiopian music, and I want to learn the dance. We think we will enjoy our new life here!</p> imoethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10404109049700157722noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712752.post-28306857153494576542013-11-09T09:37:00.001+09:002013-11-09T09:37:41.955+09:00AutumnIt's getting colder and colder.
