jack's top 10

This is jack from Ethiopia i will tell you the top ten weirdest and funnest things in Ethiopia that i have seen and done.
#10. that alot of the kids in Arsii Negeala (r-c-nege-la) are naked.
#9. That in Ethiopia, dogs run wild and ramped in the streat and no one can get rid of them because there is no money and no guns to do it.
#8. On are first day in the Gueast house, a herd of 30 donkeys walked right in front of me with only two people to herd them.
#7. That Ellie knows how to screw the lid on a water bottle.
#6. In Ethiopia you drive 140 km an hour on a two lane road thats 90 miles an hour.
#5. Oxen and donkeys run freely on the sides of the road with no fences.
#4. On the way back from Arsii Negeala we saw a dead heina on the side of the road that was the size of a yearling hefier.
#3. The Ethiopians bread, injera is a spoungey, gowey, flat gray bread that, if not cooked over a fire of dried oxen poop than it will not tast the way it's supposed to.
#2. On the side of the side walks there are stalls, where there is meat hanging from the ceiling that if you pay, they will cut up the meat and wrap it in paper and give to you.
#1. If you give out monney on the streat, you will get mobbed by all the poor people that see you.
