I was talking to my neighbor Fred yesterday, and he told me that back in the mid 1980's during the epic famine there, a friend of his flew to Ethiopia as part of a US AID team.


When their plane landed at the International airport in Addis Abbaba, he told me his friend's US AID partner, emergd from the plane, and the first words out of his mouth were these:


"WOW !!! There sure are a lot of FOREIGNERS around here !! "


He swore to god that is EXACTLY what the guy actually said.
