I recently travelled to Ethiopia
to participate in the marriage celebrations of my dear friend. I HAD FUN! in
fact, I did not want to return to Abuja but alas…reality bites. I loved it
before but now for sure, Duro Wat and I have become very great friends. Duro
Wat is a beyond-delicious Ethiopian chicken stew and lets just say I had quite
a lot of it while I was in Addis. Seriously…its some good food! So when I was
not eating I was dancing, smiling and just being ridiculously happy for my
girl. Some of our college friends from Maryland and NC also came for the
celebrations. All in all, it was an unforgettable fews days. I am now trying to
find ingenuous ways to get back to Addis!?!
Though I did not have Suya
between my last post and when I travelled…that situation was solved within the first
week after I arrived. It felt relaxing. lol. I wasn't there when the Suya was
bought because I would have made sure the vendor included onions. I am about to
head to the movies with my cousin and we've got a Suya stop to make on our way
back home. I can already taste it. Woo hoo!
Work is good. I have attended
more events on behalf of my organization. This was both a fun and stressful
experience. I am still reviewing a lot of proposals for partnership and my
supervisor encouraged me to call the prospective partners to inquire more about
their proposal and answer my lingering questions, concerns or omissions. This
experiences has been really insightful in understanding not only the nuances of
partnerships and collaborations but of writing detailed and successful
proposal.
What a yummy welcome back to work…on my first day
back, my colleague offered me some tasty Kilichi (thinly sliced meat that is
dried, spiced and coated in a peanut base mixture and then re-dried. What to do
during lunch break was joyously solved! Quiz - what website am I browsing?
