porcarorama picturescope: Addis Abeba Bete
http://porcarorama.blogspot.com/2009/11/addis-abeba-bete.html
Tuesday, 3 November 2009. The father of my grandmother was called Marino Quercia (Nonno Marino), he lived in Addis Abeba between 1937 and 1941. I know very little about nonno Marino, my grandmother told me he managed a bakery baking bread for the Army and that he had quite some local workers for him. After the liberation of Addis Abeba and the end of italian occupation he was then war prisoner for some time. 70 years later, I am in Addis Abeba, my first trip in Africa. Italian denomination of the Arada.

I was amazed by the colo...

What I get from our Chinese hosts to relief the pain is an iced bottle of Pocari Sweat. A chinese ionic energy drink. One of the best...
