Monday night was spent at Yod Absynnia, a cultural restaurant. They serve Ethiopian food as well as have good and music from the various regions in Ethiopia. Above, Ato Girma and our driver are experiencing gursha. In Ethiopian culture, feeding one another is like giving a friend a hug. Rich and I experienced this earlier in the week when dining with an Ethiopian family. It is great fun but also a gesture of love and friendship.
The dancers come out in to the audience and "target" people to dance with them. The no eye contact rule did not work. It was horribly embarrassing and caught on video so I will never live it down. It just established that Rich has way better moves than I do.
