Introduction To Ethiopian Food and Coffee | Injera, Shiro Wot and More
Ever wondered what Ethiopian food and coffee was like? I put together this food guide after spending several weeks there, from busy Addis Ababa to quiet villages.
I'm a huge lover of Ethiopian food and in this video I'm going to introduce you to a few staples. This is by no means a list of all the incredible dishes the country has to offer - Ethiopian cooking is extremely varied. Instead I'm going to give you an overview of a few things you'll find on the menu of every Ethiopian restaurant.
Our basic introduction to Ethiopian cuisine starts with shiro and will introduce you to other classics like beyaynetu, firfir and of course the ubiquitous injera. But it doesn't stop there - I've also included several drinks! We'll talk about Ethiopian coffee, beer, tej and even Ambo - a very special carbonated water the locals love.
I'm vegan so I've not included popular dishes like doro wat, a chicken stew, or kitfo, which is raw minced meat. But now that you know they exist you'll be able to check them out elsewhere if you'd like! :D
Have you ever tried Ethiopian food? Or have you only ever seen it in videos where people eat Ethiopian food for the first time? There really is nothing quite like it - unless you've eaten Eritrean food which shares a lot of similarities. Let me know how you enjoyed it. What's your favourite Ethiopian dish?

Empowerment and Investment at an Ethiopian Orphanage
Visiting an orphanage in southern Ethiopia, I enjoyed a tangible look at grassroots development. I saw how caring people in the high-income world empower caring people in the low-income world to invest smartly, within parameters set by the national government, in “human capital” — one of the catchphrases that I’ve picked up as I learn about development issues. In this case, orphans are rescued from the street and nurtured. And at a simple vocational school, young people with an 8th-grade education then learn job skills (metalworking, solar tech, and so on). Upon graduation, they are employed at the nearby Hawassa Industrial Park or are given a microloan by the government to start their own business.
Please join me for a minute to experience a joyful example of smart development.

Learning how to speak Amharic in Ethiopia
Learning how to speak Ethiopian- Amharic basic expressions -
Living in Ethiopia for over 3 months I was able to immerse myself quite a bit in the culture and get to know the language. While I am not a self professed polygot I do love to learn languages and learning how to speak Ethiopian (Amharic is the official name) was very interesting. The culture in Ethiopia is completely different than any other language you have heard of.
Here are some Ethiopian Basic Expressions - Amharic
Hello- Salam
Goodbye – Ironically I use the Spanish Ciao and everyone understands
How are you – Salamnu
For a Girl – Salamnesh or Endem-nesh
For a Man- Salamnu
I am good: Indem-ne-nay
Thank you – Amah-Sigah-Nalu
Please, Your Welcome – Manalk
Here is a little more basic expressions to help you learn how to speak Ethiopian:
Yes: Ah-Ow
No: I
Okay: Eeshee
My brother: When-dem-neh
Oh My God!: Weigh-Neh
How Much (Does it Cost) – Seenta-No
Whats your name (male) – Sigh-meh-mah-no
Whats your name (female) – SIH-mesh-mah-no?
Pretty – Conjo
You Are Beautiful – Betam Conjo
My Beauty – Ene Conjo
If you ever have the opportunity to learn how to speak Ethiopian-Amharic I would recommend that you try it. The locals absolutely love when you reply to them or at least try to speak to them in Ethiopian. One of my favorite things to do would be to learn how to speak to the taxi drivers. The taxis in Ethiopia are not meters. The fares are negotiated before the fact. When you learn a little bit of Ethiopian and get to know some of the Amharic basic expressions they will not try to rip you off as much.

Ethiopia /Jinka (Timkat festival) Part 60
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Timkat (also spelled Timket, or Timqat) is the Ethiopian Orthodox celebration of Epiphany. It is celebrated on January 19 (or 20 on Leap Year), corresponding to the 10th day of Terr following the Ethiopian calendar. Timket celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. This festival is best known for its ritual reenactment of baptism (similar to such reenactments performed by numerous Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land when they visit the Jordan); early European visitors confused the activities with the actual sacrament of baptism, and erroneously used this as one example of alleged religious error, since traditional Christians believe in one baptism for the remission of sins (Nicene Creed).During the ceremonies of Timkat, the Tabot, a model of the Ark of the Covenant, which is present on every Ethiopian altar (somewhat like the Western altar stone), is reverently wrapped in rich cloth and borne in procession on the head of the priest.The Tabot, which is otherwise rarely seen by the laity, represents the manifestation of Jesus as the Messiah when he came to the Jordan for baptism. The Divine Liturgy is celebrated near a stream or pool early in the morning (around 2 a.m.). Then the nearby body of water is blessed towards dawn and sprinkled on the participants, some of whom enter the water and immerse themselves, symbolically renewing their baptismal vows. But the festival does not end there; Donald Levine describes a typical celebration of the early 1960s:By noon on Timqat Day a large crowd has assembled at the ritual site, those who went home for a little sleep having returned, and the holy ark is escorted back to its church in colorful procession. The clergy, bearing robes and umbrellas of many hues, perform rollicking dances and songs; the elders march solemnly with their weapons, attended by middle-ages men singing a long-drawn, low-pitched haaa hooo; and the children run about with sticks and games. Dressed up in their finest, the women chatter excitedly on their one real day of freedom in the year. The young braves leap up and down in spirited dances, tirelessly repeating rhythmic songs. When the holy ark has been safely restored to its dwelling-place, everyone goes home for feasting.
The Wildlife Of Uganda, Rwanda, And Ethiopia
This video is a collage of some of my favorite places in Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. The #chimpanzee in the footage is Kalema who lives at Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary. I composed the music which is inspired by my love for the wildlife and animals in Africa. Their conservation is of ultimate importance to me. The name of the music composition is Mayanja, a Buganda name meaning big ocean.
