five things i love about ethiopia: the drive

As I contemplate the things I love about Ethiopia, I decided to share my top five list. 

Coming in at number five: the drive

If you have not had the opportunity to drive (or ride) in Ethiopia, it is quite the experience - one that may require Dramamine for the weak stomachs!  Whether you are in the city or in the country, there are people and animals everywhere!  With the 96 million people and multitudes of animals walking in the busy streets, the cars and buses darting from here to there, and the non-existent traffic lights, there is a lot of speeding up - slowing down and speeding up - braking hard.  Here is a video to share this experience.

For those of you with beginning drivers, the experience is much the same.  You may wondering, "How did this make the top five list?"  Well, it is just part of the Ethiopian experience!
