Kids of Ethiopia

April 24, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 4 Comments

a great group of ethiopian kidsHitchhiking around Ethiopia this past month, I ran into a lot of kids. Every mountain I climbed and every lonely road I walked down, little kids would pop out of nowhere. They would run out from their homes, jump out of trees, or climb out of deep gorges just to greet me. Although they were some of the poorest kids I have ever seen, they were rich in laughter, smiles, and pure joy. And so, when I remember Ethiopia, I will remember the Injera, Teddy Afro, and all the those crazy kids who reminded me how to smile on those long and lonely roads.

    Nice to see Ethiopia again … Loved the country. I was last there in 1995-94 as a long-haired, goatee-d 28-year-old and everyone in the remote areas seemed to think that I was Jesus on a revisit … maybe a return next year will dispel this myth … ;)

    Ethiopian kids are the coolest! When we went to Ethiopia we met so many kids who’d just approach us to talk and hang out and it was really funny as they were in love with my boyfriend, just because he is from India. Apparently they love Bollywood movies (go figure…) and thought it was almost as hanging out with a movie star. Super cute! Except for the part when they told me “Miss… You are too lucky for being with him… He is more beautiful than you!” ;)

      Hahaha, yea, they are great. They really impressed me with their language skills as well. I am incredibly beautiful myself apparently.
