My Story: What does Ethiopia mean for me (Millennium Contests)

It means an ancient history, not comparable by any other nation, there is a deep excitement when I see the word Ethiopia and I know where the word Utopia comes from.

The sound I think of are those of the priests (Kess), chanting in that unusual haunting manner, and when I am in the country side hearing the cockrel waking me up in the morning (very different to Good Morning am in the UK).

I want to make visits to different parts of Ethiopia, to see Lalibela, Gondor amongst many. It feels that I have an adventure ahead of me that I have read about since I was a young girl and I want to share it with my children too!

What comes in mind when I hear the word Ethiopia is: a land full of innocent, beautifull people and an historical country. Ethiopia for me is a saint place where innocent, maybe poor financialy, but rich religioulsly and historically. This country is blessed with every thing but the people do not accept those blessings.

I just hope this millenium will bring a change. When I hear Ethiopia, PEACE vibrates in my ear. I have seen no place where there is this much love and companionship.

I also see an undefeated people. Strong strugglers and very wise ones. Always superior and not inferior. Proud of themselves and like there country very much( almost chauvinists)
