I have been away for 8 days in East African country if Ethopia ,Kenya and Uganda on a trade mission. I was worried at dies on hearing of these countries and I still carry the image of famine 30 years ago in Ethopia and the brutal image of Idi Amin in Uganda. Anyway, I got my yellow fever jap as the condition of visiting these countries.
I took a flight from Penang to KL and to Dubai before reaching Addis Ababa , the capital of Ethopia. The word " Ethopia" comes from the word " uthopia" means paradise on earth. But it was so backward years ago . The traveling time was 16 hours. My backside will be on fire.
On reaching Addis Ababa, the airport was abit old but the air was clean and fresh. The temperature was about 20 deg C and it was very comfortable. We were told that the temperature is within 15 to 25 deg C , that is spring time all the year round. Another air com city of the world.
The country was far and wide with undulating land and a wide blue sky. The country was so spacious and have about 90 million people. The living and the houses are simple and rough while the people live happily. We stay at Raddison Blu which as a world class hotel. However, there was not much tourist spot in the capital . We visited a few factories and I move to Nairobi.
The airport Nairobi, the capital of Kenya was old and small. We stay is Ole Serena Hotel another working class hotel. The place have a good restaurant but the food we eat where average to bad because the spices is not familiar to us. We visited another few factories and on1st of May14 we visited the Kenya National park. We saw lots of zebra, deers, one buffalo, one big monkey , several ostrich, one lion head and many type of birds.
Next we rush back to hotel and then to the airport to lea e for Emtebbe, the capital of Uganda. The loving condition in Uganda is the poorest of the three countries. The features of the people is small size and very round head like a monkey. The people here claimed that this place is the beginning of "Man". The people there asked how we have lost our colors as the people are generally black.
Uganda is the biggest exporter of banana , cotton and minerals and is a self sufficient country and the people are happy。
Generally, the food in these three countries are bad taste for Asian and the food is abit pricey .
After visiting a few factories ,I was on my way for another 16 hours of flight. Good bye And see you.
Namaste.
