Sorry for the confusion ... "ferenge" is a generic term used by natives to refer to "foreigners". It is the Amharic pronunciation of "foreigner". thus Doc Ferenge is actually Dr. Paul. Tagel is a MoFED (government) guy I work with. Took the blue bus to Paul's for breakfast and will probably end up at Dembel mall in a bit. The natives on the bus were not as helpful today as they have been but I did manage to make it to Sarbit fine. I could also go to Home Depot and Adams mall with Paul and Ileana. So many choices :) Sweet Thing we must chat later today. If I do not hear from you I will call. It's a beautiful close to 20 degree sunny day in Addis and hopefully it will stay that way. |
