Addis all around.
Schon länger, ja lange nichts mehr in diesem Blog veröffentlicht. Da dachte ich mir, so ein Blog, den kann man doch ganz einfach pflegen, ja, so einmal die Woche. Aber weit gefehlt! Da ich nebenbei auch noch hauptberuflich Lehrer an der hiesigen deutschen Auslandschule bin und noch Reportagen mit der Kamera hinterherjage, hat sich gezeigt:
Tempus fugit! Die Zeit fliegt, auch in Addis. Manchmal denke ich: besonders in Addis.
Daher anbei ein paar neuere Fotos aus den vergangenen Monaten, weitere Berichte und Fotos werden folgen;-).
Long time. Long time that I published here the last time: time is running. .
I thought to keep a blog alive is an easy thing to do ... but just the opposite is the reality I had to learn. Besides my profession many more things to do. Be invited again to check out what is going on in Addis. This time follow me into the vibrant music scene.
Addis und seine sehr lebendige Musikszene/ Addis Ababa and its' lively music scene. All around, from traditional music to the very much celebrated jazz scene to straight rock ... and remember: under the reign of Haile Selassie there was even an emperial jazzband, playing all over the world.
