I've gotten a few requests for blog updates pre-Ethiopia, so here's a little tidbit. Ethiopia uses something similar to the Coptic calendar, so there are 12 months of 30 days plus a little bit of leap year craziness. Because of their calendar today is the last day of 1999, which calls for a big celebration (minus all the Y2K nonsense). Rumor has it that Beyonce and Fergie are both making the trip.
What does this mean? Well, I may or may not be traveling back in time when I leave in a few weeks, you should all check your area (especially if you're in DC) for festivities, and we all have one more chance this year to wonder what "Auld Lang Syne" really means.
