Bits & Pieces

I have been reading about the news from all over the world and realizing how something that runs our whole lives is so corrupt and corrupting.

Yesterday I arrived to a meeting eight hours late. Yes, I did say 8 hours late. I know, you are probably thinking that I have taken the whole arriving on “Ethiopian time” to a whole other level.

I came across a funny tweet on the on going US elections which read “Obama should consider following the example of some African heads of state and amend the US constitution to run for a third term!” I mean he's talked proudly about how he would get elected had he wanted to run for a third term including during his speech at the African Union.

I spent the better half of this week trying to pay a traffic ticket.

I have been thinking about the drought in the Eastern and Southern part of Ethiopia. My thoughts were mainly about what it all means to someone living in Addis Ababa.
