Starting a consulting business in Ethiopia

Hi guys,I have read quite interesting comments here!Now,I  will be moving to AA in November 2010 .I would like to start a training and management consulting business there.I welcome ideas and advice pertaining to:company registration procedures,business permit,house(not flat) to rent close to CBD which I can use as an office,language effect because I don`t speak Amharic,response of locals to seminars and conferences coordinated in English.
Can I battle it out there in English only or I may need to take some local language lessons?
I am an Aerobics instructor as well, will I find something to keep me busy.Are the ladies conscious of the body shapes?
Thanks in advance
