Hi Priscilla,
My name is Mulugeta from Canada, Originally from Ethiopia. Are you planning to live in Ethiopia or just for a visit ? any ways, I go to Ethiopia almost every 2 years and so for vacation time, Its a nice place to live and work. Nice weather almost year to end sunshine, 3 months rainy season but not that cold. But in the same country you could see a variety of weather depending on your location. Ethiopia is a majority Orthodox Christian country, the indigenous food is called Enjera ( a thin bread or pita like) made of a grain called Teff which is grown only in Ethiopia to be eaten with Wot (a kind of mild sauce type) . Two days a week, wed and fri. it is veggie day (no meet only vegetable) this accustomed from the orthodox religion.
Let me know if you like to hear more info, glad to help.
