Why is an Italian blog written in English? Memories of my travel in Ethiopia.



Ethiopia, January 2006.


I am in a village of Hembeccho in Wolaita.
It is a very poor Ethiopian village, where a friend of mine works as a missionary, Father Angelo Antolini.

I walk and I stop to speak with a child.
I don’t speak a good English and the child asks me why I don’t speak English very well.
I explain that I speak Spanish and he asks me: “ why don’t you speak English?
why do you speak Spanish? All over the world speak English.”
When I came back at the catholic mission I think about him.
Now I decide to study the more spoken language in the world.
And open this blog…

For this my blog is dedicated to my friends in Ethiopia.
