...to Ethiopia

Hmmm it is true. After 3 months in South Sudan ...it's my time for holidays. At the beginning i was about to go again to Uganda, cause i feel like i'm in home...but my friends there were soooo busy so the next alternative was Ethiopia....
I've heard so many for this country.
About its history....the connection with the christianity and the orthodox....the monuments the landscapes....everything. 
So....here i am.
In Addis Ababa.
Staying at the hotel Taitu..... the first building of the city. Yes....it is very old.
And still staying old even if they try to keep i alive.
Well it is my first day here in Ethiopia....and i don't have to write a lot....so ....to be continued.....

....and then i'm happy

...yep, now i'm happy because finally i'll stay more in South Sudan and in Raja. This is what i wanted. Ok, at the beginning they told me no ....then i prepare myself to go back home....and then they told me yes ....and then once more i had to prepare my self to stay....that was quite frustrating but ....i did what i wanted to do. so...i'm fine. Plus.....i'm going to Wau for some days (around 10) and this is very interesting because i've got some good friends there....and i'm gonna make more.

...i'm sad!

Yes, i'm sad.
The last news i have is that i have to finish my mission soon. Middle of March.....when i've already ask for an extension. Apparently my extension is not approved from the HQs or i dont know from where...and i have to leave soon.
That's all.
I hope i'll have better news in the near future.

...the airstrip

Usually the airport air strip is only for airplanes......
not always!
Our airstrip apart from welcoming the Cessna Caravan twice a week is being used for plenty of activities.
Like.... the perfect place for the new drivers driving courses. Openspace....huge...flat ...safe. So the new drivers coming and testing their skills.
Airstrip also is perfect for football (soccer)...especially for the kids. Men are having their own football filed. From time to time you can see kids trying to score in an imaginary goalpost at the end of the airstrip.
If there are no kids around.....goats are.!!
Yes they  like to go around the airstrip and picking the best grass they can have.
And finally....we ....i mean some guys who start running at the airstrip. Why not.
It's good for our health for 2 reasons.
First because running and working out makes you healthy...
and second....while we are running across the airstrip we are checking it out.
Do you remember what i was telling you some months ago? During the rainy season we were checking the airstrip if it was in perfect condition for a plane to land. So ....we are doing it also in the dry season...so what!
This is the story of our airstrip.....
and we like our airstrip a lot.....it is the place we say goodbye to our friends when they are ending their missions....or when they are going for holidays ....it is the same place we say welcome when they coming back.....it's the place we receive all our goodies from the capital ....and finally.....it is our the only way to go out of this place

See you guys at the airstrip.....we are ready to fly.
