It's probably time for me to make the effort to learn some more day-to-day Amharic. Yet again at a restaurant this morning I ordered something that never arrived. The servers at many of these establishments understand very little English. They do what a lot of people (myself included) tend to do when asked something in another language ... nod with approval or acknowledgement even though they do not have a clue what one just said to them.
Music at the Sheraton was good last night, except it was the same band I had seen a few weeks ago. Melaku and I are supposed to go somewhere to see music tonight.
