Khartoum - Ethopia
30.12.2009
went down the nile with a speedboat, that was fun... and saw some illegal schnaps-"distillery" original khartoum schnaps is made out of nile-water and unknown vegetables... interesting!
i camped on the nile sailing club for 3 days.... there were some nice sudanese people who showed me around...
went to the church on chrismas (no... not getting religious-just for the cultural experience!)
afer a while i got pretty bored and wanted to sneek out, so went to the exit.... right in that moment people started screaming and running into the church, saw some smoke....mhhh maybe not the best time to leave throught the front door, so i had to climb up a wall in the back to get out....
didnt really know what was goiing on but later people told me that the peoples liberation army attacked the church, because they dont want more christians in the city....
next day i got invited to dinner - fresh lamb- yummy! unfortunately i got ill that night later - puh i was really sick so i thought its maybe a better idea to change to a hotel and have a real nice bed... so i went to the only halfway effortable hotel where also women are allowed...
damn it sudan is f.. expensive, i have a big hole in my pocket now...
after 2 days i felt better... so yesterday i decided to leave sudan and went to ethopia....
its nice i like it... and they have beer..... yes...! thats a good thing after sudan... alcohol is allowed...
haha, saw some funny sudanese getting drunk behind the border....
people are nice laghing and dancing all the time....
but its weird not to speak the language... most people dont speak english or if they than its pretty bad.... they just use random sentences they heard somewhere and also answer the same way... communication not possible...
ah yeah and the reading... puh they use weird letters, looks like 3 year old wrote it...
but im not better... the only word i know in amhari is shintbeet (toilette) a important word, but out of routine i always speak arabic with them... random sentence- answer in arabic! must look funny....
staying in gondor (called the african camelot) at the moment they have a pretty nice castle here... i think im going to see it now...
hope you are all fine.....
bye
