Ethiopian Culture Quick Facts

[Stuart and Thea 95]

Thanks for sharing this info, I have an adopted niece from Ethiopia, and while we try to learn about her birth mother's culture, it is very difficult. I will say that I love the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, the coffee is delicious, as is the popcorn that accompanies it. I also love injera and the stew called wot. You've also finally explained to me why some of my patients give their children a different last name than their own, it's the father's first name!

Yes, it continues to amaze me how the name tradition confused me for almost 3 years.
