Your friends are my friends
Like I said, we met Sehen and her mother. We also met a fellow Canadian named Susan Wong. I received Susan’s name from my predecessor Stephanie Vig who knows Susan quite well. Susan has been great from the get-go. Before I even left Canada, she introduced me to her amazing blog in which she shares a lot of interesting insights into life in Addis. She has had many varied and interesting experiences and it was great to meet her. While she started out in the NGO world, Susan now works for an Ethiopian export company. She was wonderful in sharing her knowledge about Addis, all the places we must visit, where to eat (so essential), where to shop (also very important), and how to deal with certain issues as they pop up! Thanks Susan!
