My reason. Every couple hundred years or so; there is a Power Shift on the planet: meaning peoples priorities change. The Priorities are changing. This place (USA); like its competitor (the ussr); is arriving at its end. This is called 'Forsight in the Diaspora'

I have always been fascinated by the olde world sort of way things are here but chronologically I would list the following:
1. Great history within the African context and the rich tapestry of cultural heritage
2. Bureaucracy perfected to an absolute level - it is fun to go thru it and survive to narrate the tale
3. Living the natural way - why would Danes gather berries in summer and spent time in the outdoors?
4. Vibrant and rich languages which linguistically has no correlation with anything on the continent
5. Beautiful women contrasting the beautiful landscape marred by imported flora

I was staying in Clearwater. I came north for a moment; I am returning in about 50 days, then leaving. I have been to Addis Ababa three times now; have you visited the place yet
