True to the post title I would like to give you the experiences of Addis Abeba weekly, unfortunately someone I hate has been on my back and some funny Anonymous guys were of late replying badly.

Today I am on the issue of Zimbabwe soccer, remember I am a Zimbabwean. The story as I tried following it started with two teams leaving Zimbabwe for the United Kingdom. Being Zimbabweans they were duped to play soccer in a rugby field and the match only had 2 match officials. The best part is that the match lived long enough to be a rugger game, lasted 80 minutes. I read the players were treated to some nice living. The two teams are called Caps United popular with vegetable vendors because of its green colours. The other one looks like a zebra because it is known with darkness and light. I am saying darkness because I was told black is not a colour. Am I correct? Absent of light I think? The team is called Highlanders and its totem is Bosso.
The night after the match the boys from the vege side went drinking and the news man have it that the one of the boys found beauty in a club and he started dancing the night out that's how a problem came in. One irate and maybe husband to be to the lady got annoyed and the guy pulled in a very heavy fight. After losing the battle in the bar the host boy decided to smash the veges team bus. What a mistake he made as the UK police punished him for that.
The next days the newspapers in the country and abroad ran articles with the headlines Caps Players Disappear in UK. The coach of the veges defended the position of his players and the next few days the truth dawned on the two teams that 3 boys decided to stay behind. I am still to get the names of the remaining boys but the truth is the boys left behind.
Now we have the very famous Football Association "FA" and the infamous Zimbabwe Football Association "ZIFA". The later sanctioned the movement of its team to the UK and the UK officials are lodging an appeal with the International administrator FIFA on why the two teams came to play in their majestical country.
Too many problems in my home country? Thats it for the football circus. Just been reading that our cricket team lost to India. Too bad for sport in my country of birth.
Enjoy the weekend I will give you a feed back on my weekend, check my other blog

Happy New Year. Last week I spoke to a certain friend back home on chat. He was surprised when I told him we will be celebrating new year over the weekend. Yes we celebrated Ethiopian new year on Sunday 11 September can you dig it? We are now in 1998. Maybe it's time to upgrade my windoze 95 OS to windoze 98.
In Ethiopia I did not see much of the hype that makes New Year's eve a night to remember back home. Okay its true drinking places were over subscribed by patrons but not drinking as deadly as our museve boys back home. On Friday people did not go to kumusha/ekhaya (rural homes) like they do in Zimbabwe. I am sure they killed a lot of sheep here, since the guys who had a lot of these animals were fat pocketed on Sunday morning and, off course drinking a few St. George beer. Back home if Sunday is a holiday then we know that our precious holiday giving government was surely going to declare Monday a public holiday, not in Ethiopia.
The highlight of the night or should I say rich people's highlight was a live perfomance by Wyclef Jean in the poshy Sheraton Addis Hotel. The show was very dear and to be honest US$132 is just too much money considering that many Habeshas/Abeshas are getting less than US$100 a month. That aside I still commend Ethiopians for having special nights for the ordinary people like me all over the city. I enjoyed my St. George beer all night off course after a long day in office on Sunday.
The beauties of the night plying the roads after 2100hrs were missing that night and were seriously under threat from the male population which was walking on every road. What a peaceful Ethiopia? I went to many places on this night but Addis flowers were all a happy family. Imagine I did not here any incidence of any fight that busy night.
What a New Year experince I had.
