Coming back from a trip to Ethiopia, the experience is average, and I want to tell you a few words
I have long admired the magnificent scenery and rich history of Ethiopia, and I am full of anticipation for this country in eastern Africa. Before leaving, I browsed countless travelogues and saw many pictures, each one showing the unique charm of the country. However, when I actually set foot on the land and began my trip to Ethiopia, I found that my experience was somewhat average compared to the amazing scenery I was expecting. But that doesn't mean my journey lacks excitement and meaning.
My first stop was Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, which made a strong first impression on me as a vibrant and culturally rich city. Walking through the busy streets, I saw all kinds of people, dressed in traditional costumes, gathering in the street markets to trade their goods, and their smiles and enthusiasm made me feel the unique charm of this country.
However, the traffic in Addis Ababa caught me off guard, with cars coming and going on the crowded streets as if there were no rules. I often feel anxious and uncomfortable as I move through the city, but I also know that this is exactly what the city really is, its chaos and life.
In Addis Ababa, I visited the famous National Museum and got a feel for Ethiopia's rich history. The artifacts and artworks on display there gave me a deeper understanding of the country's cultural traditions, and I felt as if I could feel the precipitation of history and the passage of time.
Next, I traveled to Lucia, where I traced the footsteps of the origins of humanity. Ms. Lucia's fossil is an important anthropological discovery, and her presence has given me a more intuitive understanding of the origin and evolution of human beings. Standing in Ms. Lucia's fossil display area, I seem to be able to hear the call of time and feel the continuous evolution of human civilization.
However, my trip to Ethiopia was not all smooth sailing. During the journey, I also encountered many difficulties and challenges. The language barrier often made me misunderstand when communicating with the locals, and the difference in food also made me uncomfortable. Especially in small towns and remote areas, I feel inconvenienced and sometimes isolated by the lack of infrastructure.
However, it was these challenges and difficulties that made my journey more colorful. In the communication with the locals, I learned a lot about their life and culture, and I appreciated their kindness and warmth. In a difficult environment, I also found my inner strength and courage, and I learned to adapt and face all the difficulties in life calmly.
During my trip to Ethiopia, I gained many fond memories and precious experiences. Although my experience may have been different from what I had originally anticipated, I believe that every trip is a journey of growth and inspiration. In this land, I saw the magnificence of human civilization and the miracle of life, and I felt the diversity and beauty of the world. I believe that this experience will remain in my memory forever and inspire me to move forward bravely and pursue more unknown landscapes.
