The blogosphere is as different nine years later as Addis Ababa
is.
The both have seen tremendous “development” – or growth –
or, simply, change.

The Day of the Downfall of the Derg
I arrived in
Addis around six o’clock on the morning of Thursday, May 28, 2015 -- or, twelve
o’clock by Ethiopian time, which (rather sanely) is oriented to sunrise and
sunset (even if somewhat metaphorically).
And while I
don’t know the date by the Ethiopian calendar rather than Gregorian, I do know
that the day that I arrived was --- The Day of
the Downfall of the Derg.
All the banks
were closed for the national holiday. I couldn’t exchange any of that cash that
I carried close on my person to the other side of the world.
