Welcome AboardEsteemed Customers,

September marks the start of the Ethiopian New Year.

Let me first wish all of my fellow compatriots a

happy, healthy and prosperous 2007, according to

the Ethiopian ( Julian) calendar!

We enter the New Year with great optimism. Thanks

to your patronage, Ethiopian is now the largest airline

in Africa (by revenue and profit) for the first time in its

69-year history. I want to personally thank each and every

one of you for your vote of confidence, and I pledge that we

will continue to work hard to earn that confidence and to

be your airline of choice.

In the year ahead, we will be more ready than ever to

serve you aboard our flights and to help you discover our

beautiful, diverse country. With the end of the rainy season

and the blossoming of the Meskel flower across the Ethiopian

highlands, now is the perfect time for visiting the rich

historical, cultural, religious and natural sites in Ethiopia.

There are many hidden treasures across the country, including

nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites — ranging from the

imposing obelisks of Axum and the Nejashi Mosque to the

spellbinding rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the majestic

Gondar castles and the stunning Simien Mountains.

Our in-house tour operation, ET Holidays, is availing

attractive packages to all the tourism sites, with provisions

for all of your transportation, accommodation and guide-

service needs. We have introduced a 40-percent discount on

our domestic routes for travelers coming to Ethiopia using

our long-haul flights, and we now fly daily to each of the

tourism sites, in hopes of providing you with convenient

connectivity options.

We are also constantly expanding our network — now

covering 83 international destinations across five continents

— and renewing our fleet by introducing ultramodern and

comfortable aircraft, such as the B787 and B777. Thirteen

new airplanes will join our young fleet in the New Year.

So come and celebrate the New 2007 Year with us in

Ethiopia, reveling in the unique and tasty culinary delights,

breathtaking landscape, and rich history. Plus, you’ll be

instantly seven years younger while enjoying our hallmark,

Ethiopian-flavored African hospitality.

All of my colleagues at Ethiopian join me in

thanking you for choosing to fly with us.

Have a pleasant flight!

Ethiopian Airlines wishes to extend its appreciation to its esteemed customers

for their vote of confidence, which has enabled the airline to become the largest

African carrier by revenue and profit in 2013.

According to the International Air Transport Association’s annual airlines

ranking, Ethiopian ranks first in Africa and 37th in the world in revenue, as well

as first in Africa and 18th in the world in operating profit.

“The year 2013 marks a milestone in the history of the airline,” says Tewolde

GebreMariam, Ethiopian Airlines CEO. He cites the patronage of the airline’s

customers, “who are choosing to fly with us in ever-increasing record numbers,”

as well as the “collective effort of the board of directors, the management and

the entire 8,000-plus Ethiopian Airlines employees, who toil night and day to

make our beloved airline shine high in the sky.

“It also confirms,” he adds, “that we are well on track to achieving our Vision

2025 strategic goal of becoming a mega global carrier with US$10 billion in

revenue by 2025.”

Seoul Lantern Festival: Nov. 1-17Lanterns designed by local and international artists illuminate the 11-kilometer-long Cheon-ggyecheon Stream, which winds through downtown.

Beijing Chrysanthemum Festival: early NovemberThousands of colorful chry-santhemums bloom in parks across the city; visit Beihai Park and the International Flower Port for the most lavish displays.

Stockholm Design Week & Furniture Fair: Feb. 2-8Design talks, awards ceremo-nies and the best of clean-lined Scandinavian design.

During the month of September, the rain dries up in Ethiopia, leaving the

country with clear skies, fields covered in a yellow blanket of Meskel daisies,

and people eager to talk about their dreams for the year ahead. Here, a quick

look back at the holiday's history, and how to celebrate today:

ORIGIN Enkutatash (meaning “gift of jew-els”) marks the time when, thousands of years ago, the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon of Israel and gifted him with gold and jewels. When she returned to Ethiopia, the story goes that her own elders greeted her with jewels to

replace her stock.

CUSTOMS Families light torches on New Year’s Eve and attend church on New Year’s Day wearing traditional dress. Girls go door to door singing songs and delivering flowers, and boys draw pic-tures — all for small gifts or money. Nowadays, rather than exchanging traditional bouquets of flowers, many families send cards and greetings.

EAT: Doro wat (a spicy stew of chicken) and injera (a spongy, fermented flatbread).

DRINK: Traditionally brewed coffee and tella (locally brewed beer).

VISIT: Visit Ragual Church on Entoto Mountain, outside Addis Ababa, where a mas-sive gathering takes place.

The genre of contemporary African music is soulful, lively and diverse. Here, a few favorite artists who are putting their own spin on traditional sounds.

AMADOU & MARIAMAmadou Bagayoko and Miriam Doumbia met in 1975 at a Malian institute for the blind and discovered a mutual love of music. Five years later, they married and began making music together, releasing nine albums between 1999 and 2012 and earning three Grammy award nominations along the way. Blending rock and blues with traditional Malian sounds, their songs speak of peace, love and life in Mali — and inspire much foot-tapping.

ANGÉLIQUE KIDJO Born in Benin and inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Aretha Franklin, Kidjo became a professional singer by age 20. Like Franklin, her booming voice carries her songs, which are accompanied by layered, soulful instrumentation. (Her album Fifa is said to have involved more than 100 musicians, singers and dancers from her home country.) Kidjo’s discography — a dozen albums deep — ranges in sound from traditional to futuristic, featuring collaborations with such talents as John Legend and Carlos Santana. Her latest, Eve (2014), is a tribute to the women of Africa.

D’BANJThe uniquely African hip-hop of Dapo Oyebanjo — or D’banj — can be heard far beyond his home country of Nigeria. With an infectious mix of Afrobeat, R&B and electronic sounds, he’s been sweeping music awards in Africa and Europe, including “Best Selling African Artist” at the 2014 World Music Awards. The 34-year-old singer/songwriter sings in both English and the West African language of Yoruba. Plus, there’s another reason to like him: He’s a spokesperson for the ONE Campaign’s agricultural initiative.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Hydroelectric Project is

one of the most ambitious engineering projects ever undertaken

in Africa. Once completed, the dam will have the capacity to

generate 6,000 megawatts of electricity, which will be distributed

throughout Ethiopia and to neighboring countries.

Selamta editorial board member Seble

Demeke recently interviewed engineer

Semegnew Bekele, project manager of the

GERDP, to find out more about this massive

project and its future impact on Ethiopia and

the wider region.

The GERD is a hydroelectric power

project under construction on the Abbay

River (Blue Nile) by the government of

Ethiopia, at Beni-Shangul Gumuz regional

state, some 20 kilometers upstream of

the Ethiopia-Sudan border. It is being

constructed for the purpose of generating

electricity with a total installed capacity

of 6,000 megawatts — providing an

affordable, green and nonconsumptive

use of the water scheme.

We are lucky for our government’s

commitment to continuously engage

in such development projects, which

affords the entire nation the opportunity

to be part of a noble venture. To start

counting from the recent developments,

the following hydropower developments

implemented in our country can be

mentioned: Gilgel Gibe I, Tekeze, Gilgel

Gibe II, Beles, Fincha Amerti Neshe and

Gibe III, which will be commissioned

shortly. Implementation of all these

shows our country’s hands-on practice

for developing this sector.

Other energy mixes like wind farms,

geothermal and solar are also being

developed aggressively in our country.

Our continual engagement in the sector

with a team spirit has been beneficial to us

in the realization of the Grand Ethiopian

Renaissance Dam Hydroelectric Project.

There is a saying, “Teamwork is the fuel

that allows common people to produce

uncommon results.” Currently, 8,500

people are engaged at the project location

site, of which about 600 are expatriates

from 25 countries.

Mode of contract

The owner of the project is the government

of Ethiopia. The project is being

implemented under the engineering,

SOME GRANDSTATISTICS

procurement and construction mode of

contract by contractors and consultants

of international repute. All aspects related

to the construction process — such as the

design, materials and workmanship —

are being taken care of in a responsible

and professional manner, and according

to international standards.

The Ethiopian Electric Power is the

employer. The joint venture Coyne et

Bellier of France & ELC Electroconsult of

Italy, a consulting firm, is the employer’s

representative under this contract, and

the EPC contractor (Salini Impregilo

of Italy) and the EPC plant contractor

(Metals and Engineering Corporation of

Ethiopia) are the two main contractors

involved.

Benefits

The project has several benefits, and I

can say that it is not only Ethiopians but

also other Africans who would benefit

from this project being built in Ethiopia

by Ethiopians.

GERDP is a hydropower development

that supports the government’s efforts

to maintain sustainable development,

which is crucial to and a catalyst for the

sustainable improvement of people’s lives

and livelihoods and to eradicate poverty.

It also provides an easily tappable,

affordable and green power supply to

the nation and the region; it supports

the universal electric access program

(rural electrification); and it will

enhance navigation and create business

opportunities for the locality. Furthermore,

it will enhance tourism and fisheries as

well as improve the climate of the area.

It will create numerous job opportunities

and contribute greatly to building in-house

capacity that focuses on cost reduction.

As has been said already on several

occasions, it will have immense benefits for

the downstream countries and the region:

The GERD maintains a regulated

flow throughout the year and, as a

result, avoids flood risks and reduces

transmission losses. It also reduces

evaporation loss, traps sediments, allows

increasing energy within the existing

power plants, enhances navigation and

maintains longer tourist destination

routes, as well as helps to maintain

regional peace and stability.

Regionally and globally, it maintains

clean and affordable energy availability;

mitigates drought; reduces emissions;

and contributes to capturing climate

change–related opportunities.

Moreover, with its huge natural

resource potential, Ethiopia is considered

a power hub for the region. Such a project

will help us address the power supply

needs of the region with the existing

power pool interconnection system.

The significance of GERDP for

regional cooperation

The project will provide an opportunity

for fresh cooperation between the

three Eastern Nile Basin countries:

Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan. Through

such cooperation, the three riparian

nations will make themselves permanent

partners for cooperative development

and sustainable peace:

• GERDP can enhance the aspirations for

sustainable socioeconomic development,

prosperity and peace in the Eastern Nile

Basin in the 21st century.

• GERDP can be used as a platform for

Ethiopian people, including the Ethiopian

Diaspora. It is mobilizing the entire

nation with an incredible momentum.

The hydroelectric power plant will be the

largest in Africa and one of the largest in

the world.

The project is being implemented

and we are marching together toward its

realization, which will contribute greatly

to eradicating our common enemy:

poverty. It will also make our country

prosperous and poised to become a

middle-income country within a short

period of time. Lastly, we would like to put

it on record that it is not only important

to develop the sector but it is also equally

vital to support those working toward the

realization of this development.

We have started and we will finish it!

This is to keep alive the vision of our late

leader, His Excellency Meles Zenawi, who

said during the laying of the cornerstone

for the project that the Great Ethiopian

Renaissance Dam will be financed by

Ethiopians and built by Ethiopians.

Accordingly, Ethiopian citizens

mobilized to express their support and

their excitement that this long-awaited

project — deeply rooted in their hearts —

is finally going to be realized. The public

at large started to take advantage of the

opportunity to provide financial support

to the project by making donations

and purchasing the bonds that the

government had launched.

broader regional collaboration on

economic development and environmental

protection.

• GERDP can be taken as a concrete case

for upstream-downstream cooperation for

equitable and reasonable utilization of the

shared water resources and as a means

of sustainable-benefit sharing among the

Eastern Nile Basin countries.

The project will also increase the

collective resiliency of Nile Basin nations to

the impact of climate change on the basin.

How Do You Save a National Park?

Preserving

the beauty of

Ethiopia’s

Simien

Mountains.


B Y D I A N E J . M C D O U G A L L

P H O T O S B Y P H I L D E J O N G J R .

The sun begins dipping below the horizon,

revealing hazy, horizontal smudges of sky

and mountain, layered one behind the

other in blue, grey and orange. Backlit

trees march across a distant ridge while

a pair of jackals crosses the flat terrain

below Mount Kedadit. Before long, the

sky will fill with constellations as a rich,

deep blanket of smaller stars studs the

blackness behind them.

This view is as breathtaking as when

the surrounding cliffs and gorges were first recognized

as Simien Mountains National Park in 1969. Sunset

panoramas. Crisp air. Raw, wild beauty.

Yet even then, a closer look revealed a sobering

deterioration: Willful deforestation was rapidly

changing the landscape, and the Ethiopian wolf

and walia ibex (an endemic mountain goat) were

already endangered.

At the time, the man who would become the

park’s first game warden — a Welshman named

C.W. Nicol — had already been crisscrossing the

mountain highlands on horseback for two years.

Armed bandits and poachers threatened him and

his team of rangers as they tried to prevent acres of

forest from being slashed and burned by villagers in

search of farming land. Other locals were damaging

the land by allowing their livestock to overgraze

within park boundaries. Food was becoming more

and more scarce for wildlife.

In addition, Nicol and his rangers faced logistical

challenges (lack of infrastructure such as roads or

Gelada baboons — more closely related to monkeys than baboons — are one of several species endemic to the Simien Mountains, including the walia ibex and Ethiopian wolf.

health care) and a dearth of government support for

their job.

Although appointed by then-Emperor Haile

Selassie himself, 27-year-old Nicol found his

assignment close to impossible. “It was just over two

years full of challenge, adventure, fights, struggles,

new experiences — and almost overwhelming

frustration and despair,” he recalled in his August 31,

2013, article in The Japan Times.

Finally, in October 1969, Nicol left the Simien

Mountains and returned to his adopted country of

Japan, convinced that all of his labors were in vain.

Nicol never expected that what he had fought so

hard to protect would, in 1978, be recognized as one

of the very first UNESCO World Heritage Sites for

its natural beauty and endemic wildlife. Nor that, 18

years after that recognition, the park would appear

on UNESCO’s endangered list. A continual battle to

save the land. An unending heartache.

A N C I E N T L A N DEthiopia has long been considered the cradle of

civilization, especially after the discovery of “Lucy”

— a partial human skeleton more than 3 million

years old. Far northwest of Lucy’s final resting place

stand the Simien Mountains. Formed by prehistoric

seismic activity that created its dramatic scenery,

this formidable range served as a barrier to many

potential invaders over the centuries. The country’s

highest peak can be found here: Ras Dejen (as the

locals call it), at 4,533 meters.

Despite the harsh climate of the high altitude,

Ethiopians have long inhabited the 232 square

kilometers that now encompass the country’s

first national park. Even today, approximately 536

households live within the park boundaries, in six

different villages — a growing population that puts

greater and greater stress on the land and its resources.

As an example, festuca is a natural grassy habitat

for rodents, which are the primary food of the

endangered Ethiopian wolf. Therefore, authorities

have forbidden the harvesting of festuca to thatch

village homes within park boundaries; it’s more

difficult to halt its depletion by overgrazing.

In some areas, what was once thickly forested

now more closely resembles a rocky moonscape. The

surrounding communities’ dependence upon park

resources has led to the loss of almost 97 percent of the

original highland vegetation, according to the Ethiopian

Wildlife Conservation Authority. Years of civil war and

famine only added to the depletion (with civil war

leading to the park’s closing for almost 17 years).

Today, Simien Mountains National Park might

be facing an even more dismal future if not for

the foresight of the Ethiopian government to save

its national treasure. This time, expertise is being

sought from what some might consider an unlikely

source: the nation of Japan.

S T E P B Y S T E PFormed in 1974, the Japan International Cooperation

Agency offers strategic assistance to more than 100

countries worldwide. In 2011, JICA became involved in

Simien Mountains National Park at Ethiopia’s request.1

JICA started by forming a partnership with two

Ethiopian public entities that protect and govern

the national parks.2 That partnership — called

Simien Community Tourism, or SIMCOT — focuses

on reversing the park’s endangered status while

benefiting the local population. The benefit to

locals comes via sustainable tourism efforts that

bring in income and thus reduce the community’s

dependence on agriculture within the park.

The key word is sustainable.

JICA recognizes that encouraging uncontrolled

tourism would bring about long-term harm. Already,

recent road improvements between the park and the

city of Gondar have led to an escalation of traffic,

with a resulting 50-percent increase in park tourism

within the last year.

“If we do not control [tourism], then the culture,

society and economy will be destroyed while all the

business is taken over by big outside [organizations],

and only a small [amount of] money will remain

locally,” says Dr. Kiho Yaoita, deputy chief of the

SIMCOT project and assistant professor at Hokkaido

University, who specializes in heritage management

and community development.

SIMCOT’s task might be considered overwhelming,

yet the great dream is to see Simien Mountains National

Park stand on its own feet rather than merely limp on,

relying on international aid as it has in the past.

SIMCOT began by systematically studying each

aspect of the park: measuring, questioning, tracking.

For example, most tourists to the Simien

Mountains (that number reached a record 18,000 in

2013) are trekkers who hire guides, scouts and cooks.

So SIMCOT began offering extensive training to

increase the quality of those services — such as how

to cook European dishes even in a primitive campsite

setting (as most trekkers are from Europe).

Soon, an old friend of the park was enlisted to

add his expertise as well. In summer 2013, JICA and

the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority

contacted the park’s first game warden. After his

years on horseback protecting the Simien Mountains,

C.W. Nicol had turned his attention toward restoring

a prime woodland area in Nagano, Japan. It turns out that even though he’d never returned to

the African continent, he had reserved a corner of his

heart for Ethiopia. Intrigued by JICA’s plans, he offered

his knowledge. Soon, five key players from the SIMCOT

partnership had traveled to Japan to catch Nicol’s

passion and learn from his conservation experience.

SIMCOT also had another ambitious plan for

contributing to conservation in the park, even while

connecting locals to tourism profits.

C O N N E C T I N G P E R S O N - T O - P E R S O NFrench, Germans and the British top Simien’s usual

tourist list — hardy adventurers who are used to

trekking and aren’t afraid of a bathroom-in-the-wild.

And hardiness is essential to Simien exploration.

Facilities are sparse. Altitude hiking taxes the lungs.

Temperature swings border on the extreme (more than

18°C by day, below freezing by night). But the beauty

visible over every lip of rock startles even those gasping

for air. Beauty of scenery, of course, but also the playful

activity of gelada baboon families, the incredible 2.3-

to 2.8-meter wingspan of the lammergeyer, the rare

glimpses of springbok or walia ibex.

And now, thanks to foresight and patient

planning, those who venture into the Simien

Mountains can also choose to learn a bit more about

life in these beautiful surroundings by way of an

“ecomuseum” that encompasses the entire park.

Unlike traditional museums, with ecomuseums

explains Dr. Kiho.

In the Simien Mountains, the ecomuseum

showcases the natural (stunning trekking routes and

wildlife) as well as the cultural (heritage explorations

that are directed by community members during

village tours).

Via these tours, small groups of tourists can take

a new turn down a rutted, hillside trail in order to

see firsthand how life is lived on these highlands.

After months of research, SIMCOT project

members chose two villages for the prototype. Like

other communities within the park, neither Jona nor

Argin has electricity, running water or cars. So a visit

is no eye-candy experience of casual tourism; it’s the

real thing, with an opportunity to meet beautiful,

proud people and share in a slice of their lives.

The village of Argin (451 households) stretches

down one slope before rising sharply up another —

a swath of terraced farmland where acres of Erica

arborea once covered the hillsides. After a 30-minute

walk down a rocky, barely discernible path from

the main road, guests spend the next few hours

being invited into the cool darkness of thatched-

roof homes. There they observe (and participate

in) the making of local beer, the ritual of the coffee

ceremony or the baking of injera (the traditional,

spongy pancake that serves as the centerpiece of

every Ethiopian meal).

In the nearby village of Jona, visitors learn about

traditional hairdressing styles (see “Beauty on the

Simien Mountains” on page 38), watch a blacksmith

at work or speak with a weaver whose loom was

handmade by his grandfather. Tourists can even

purchase some of the local weavings.

As Azanaw Kefyalew, EWCA’s senior tourism

expert, points out, “The income from the village tour

goes directly to the [villagers’] pocket rather than

back to the government.”

After all, the less dependent the villagers are

upon parkland for their livestock grazing and their

farming, the more sustainable their lifestyle and the

future of the park itself.

N E X T S T E P S T O S A V E A P A R KWith village tours well underway, SIMCOT is

continuing to expand the opportunities for Simien

Mountains National Park’s preservation and growth

— inviting Ethiopian and international tour operators

to learn more about the village tour products, so that

the park is high on their radar. The hope is that the

success at this, the country’s flagship park, will then

be replicated at other parks across Ethiopia.

Throughout the project (November 2011 – November

2014), SIMCOT has tracked and measured everything

— to show growth as well as assess where more

Austrian Development Project — and JICA recognizes those efforts as crucial precursors to it own. 2Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority and Amhara National Regional State Bureau of Culture, Tourism and Parks Development.

attention is needed. The Ethiopian government and

communities in Simien will then assume leadership

toward fully achieving the ecomuseum concept.

Still, no one is naively expecting a quick turnaround.

Dr. Kiho predicts it will be more than a decade before

this parkland is removed from UNESCO’s endangered

list and northwestern Ethiopia is regarded as one of

the continent’s top tourism destinations. But each

day’s step forward offers hope.

S U N S E T O N T H E M O U N T A I NWhen the long evening shadows disappear, the

lingering warmth evaporates as if by a switch. With

dusk comes cold at this altitude: 3,260 meters up on

the escarpment of the mountains, where the Simien

Lodge claims its stake as the continent’s highest hotel.

Inside the lodge, a buffet dinner is served to a

mixture of tourists and scientists (the University

of Michigan’s Gelada Research Project), plus one of

Ethiopia’s prodigal sons.

Tomorrow, C.W. Nicol will spend his first day back

in Simien Mountains National Park in 45 years. He’s

already greeted old friends — 70- and 80-something

men and women who served as rangers with him in

the early, turbulent days. They arrived at his welcome

ceremony wearing thick, cotton robes and leaning

on canes, their lined faces breaking into smiles and

tears as they embraced this man whom they last saw

as an impetuous, determined 29-year-old.

Sitting down to dinner with the SIMCOT project

team, Nicol talks honestly about how he long believed

his years in the Simiens to be a waste. And how that

perceived failure spurred his efforts to restore one of

Japan’s woodland areas.

It was August 2013 when a team from EWCA

visited Japan to personally plead for Nicol’s help.

The visit struck a deep, raw nerve (“It was like a dam

burst inside me,” Nicol remembers) and began a long-

awaited process of healing old scars — “scars left

because I’d felt my efforts there had been in vain,”

Nicol wrote for The Japan Times.

EWCA’s then-director general assured the now-

74-year-old, “What you did and tried to do was not

a failure — it was a road map for what we are trying

to do now.”

“Back then,” Nicol continued, “I truly believed in a

beautiful, sustainable national park in the northern

mountains of Ethiopia. . . . I wanted to help conserve

the wildlife and the incredibly beautiful scenery,

and to be of meaningful assistance to the proud and

independent people of Ethiopia.”

“Maybe it’s not too late.”

I used to think of myself as a small-town girl.

I was born in Enugu, a relatively small city in

southeastern Nigeria, attended boarding school

in an even smaller city, and enrolled in college

in a small university town.

I have always loved the quiet and intimacy

of small cities. When I met my husband 18 years

ago and moved to Belgium, I was happy to set-

tle in Turnhout, a small Flemish town where

everyone knew everyone else. I once received a

letter addressed to me by name but with nei-

ther a street name nor a house number. And

yet it was delivered to my mailbox. If a parcel

arrived for me in my absence, the postman

delivered it, without prior agreement, to my

friend’s house a few doors away. He knew we

were friends because he often saw us chatting at

each other’s doorstep.

Big cities, on the other hand, make me ner-

vous. Whenever I visited my older sister in Lagos,

Nigeria’s commercial capital, the chaos, the noise

and the number of people on the streets kept me hos-

tage indoors.

However, as with everything else, there is an ex-

ception to the big-city rule. For me, it is Brussels.

With a population of more than a million and a

surface area of about 160 square kilometers, Brussels

is Belgium’s biggest city. But if Brussels were hu-

man, she would have impeccable manners. All

Please and thank you, and May I help you? The sort

that parents would encourage their children to be

friends with. I do not exaggerate when I say that

this is a city with an air of politeness (I have met

some of the most gracious random strangers here)

and a genuine avuncular warmth.

Brussels is also trendy. She is welcoming. She

is fun and clever. No other city I have been to in

Europe is quite like her: big yet warm, with the

welcoming personality of a small town (and with a

surprising African flair). This is one of the reasons

it was easy for me to fall in love with Brussels. And

one of the reasons I keep returning.

Brussels is Belgium’s largest city, with a population of more than a million and a surface area of roughly 62 square miles.

Most guidebooks about the city will tell you of

her famous heavenly chocolates (the composition

of Belgian chocolate has been regulated since 1884)

and beer (this is Belgium after all, a country with

about 180 breweries). And they will most likely

point out that Brussels is a center of European cul-

ture, a position that has earned her the nickname

“The European Village.” She is the seat of many

European and international institutions, and head-

quarters to the European Union and NATO.

The guidebooks might also mention the

Matonge, otherwise known as “Little Zaire,” on

the Porte de Namur (Naamsepoort). Populated by

the Congolese, the Matonge is a sprawling piece of

Africa in this European city and an astonishing as-

sault on all the senses. It is a delightful celebration

of color, noise, food.

In my first weeks in Belgium, I was terri-

bly homesick for the country I had left behind.

One weekend, my husband, J., brought me to the

Matonge. Tucked between the modern architecture

of European Union institutions on one side and the

posh boutiques of Avenue Louise on the other, the

Matonge tricked me into believing I was back in

Nigeria. The sheer number of Africans on the

streets was mindboggling after weeks of being

one of the few black faces in Turnhout. With black

businesses lining the streets — from tailors to hair-

dressers and restaurants — I could have been at the

Kenyatta Market in Enugu.

I had not believed J. when he promised that he

was taking me to a place “where you’d definitely

forget you were in Europe.” It seemed impossible.

But when we settled into one of the restaurants to

enjoy a meal of rice and tomato sauce (spiced just

right) with chicken fried incandescent gold (the

way my mother fried her famous chicken wings for

family parties), I knew I had found my home away

from home.

Another delightful discovery for me was Rue de

Montserrat, which — with its air of almost rural

tranquility — reminds me of an Enugu neighbor-

hood. It also possesses some very fashionable and

often underestimated restaurants, including an

African one that I frequent. There is some truth to

my grandmother’s saying: “Homesickness begins

from the stomach. Fill your stomach with the food

you miss and your homesickness goes away.”

Apart from the food, though, one of the things

I missed most upon moving to Belgium was the

emotional “high” I got from beating down the price

of items I wanted at the market.

No other city I have been to in Europe is quite like her: big yet warm, with the welcoming personality of a small town (and with a surprising African flair).

In Nigeria, everyone knows that the set price

for goods is just the starting point for bargaining:

You haggle until both buyer and seller come to a

comfortable agreement. The inflexibility of the lo-

cal Saturday market in Turnhout took away from

its coziness, and so it was pure joy to discover the

flea markets of Brussels, where I could haggle just

as merrily as back home.

The Place du Grand Sablon (reputed to be one of

Europe’s best flea markets for antiques) and Place

du Jeu de Balle (a daily market that provides the

total immersive experience) are my favorite. Apart

from enjoying the haggling, I am also an avid col-

lector (on a budget), and nothing beats a Saturday

spent looking for something unique and affordable

to add to my trove. Except maybe a Saturday spent

eating freshly baked Belgian waffles with cream.

However, the greatest success of Brussels is

not in satisfying my taste buds or making me fall

in love with a big city, but in making me curious

enough to give other cities a try. While I’ve yet to

encounter one that matches Brussels in how it fus-

es cultures or mixes both small-town and big-city

features, I remain fascinated by the possibility of

finding another like it — and the discoveries I’ve

made along the way.

Flea-market finds, blooming flowers and freshly baked Belgian waffles add charm, beauty and flavor to the Belgian capital.

The Artsspotlight

Operndorf AfrikaIn a small village outside Ouagadougou, art is life. | BY H A N N A H J O R DA N

C reativity hums throughout western Africa, flowing from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and

charging the arid landscape with life. The city, known as Ouaga for those who call it home,

has been courting the arts for quite some time.

Dubbed a major African cultural hub, Ouagadougou biennially hosts both the continent’s

largest film festival — the FESPACO — and the SIAO international arts-and-crafts fair. But

about 40 kilometers away from this artistic epicenter, art is developing in a new way, alongside a village.

Since 2009, creativity has sparked new life in a little town called Laongo. Already home to a

sculpture garden of granite carvings that narrate its history of art, Laongo is further maturing

artistically through a project called Operndorf Afrika.

The project — German for “African Opera Village” — began as an idea for a collaborative arts

initiative. Over the past five years, however, that seed has grown from mere abstract plans into a full-

fledged community that includes sustainable homes, education, health care as well as a framework

for Laongo to develop its unique artistic expression.

The German connection comes from the late actor and director Christoph Schlingensief

(1960–2010), who was initially drawn to Burkina Faso through a connection with the FESPACO

The performing arts are central to the culture of Operndorf Afrika. The soon-to-be-built fest-spielhaus (“festival the-ater”) will live at the center of the village (below), pulling the community together for workshops, shows and concerts.

film festival. Here, he envisioned creating

an international meeting place for the

arts — a center where ideas could be

cultivated and exchanged as artists from

across the globe merged in one location.

Believing that art could help awaken

a group’s cultural identity and even

contribute to a country’s development as a

whole, Schlingensief set out on a mission of

transformation and convinced award-

winning Burkinabé architect Francis Kéré

to join him. Together, the pair drew up

plans for an opera house — or festspielhaus

(German for “festival theater”) — that

would serve as the ideal center for artistic

exchange.

Floods in late August 2009, however,

altered these original plans. As the site

they had chosen for the festspeilhaus

was nearly washed away, Schlingensief

and Kéré realized their project needed to

take a backseat to first helping rebuild

the surrounding village. Kéré and local

villagers constructed new homes from

local materials such as clay, using a

sophisticated mixing technique that

allows it to withstand the annual rainfall.

And so from catastrophe came the Opera

Village, which today thrives not only as a

cluster of sustainable homes but also as a

rising cultural center.

Three stages of building spun off from

this initial phase, including plans for a

school, a medical unit and, of course, the

building that started it all: the festspielhaus.

The school, completed in fall 2011,

plans for a total of 300 pupils by the

2016–2017 academic year. Already

boasting learning results and attendance

rates above the national average, the

school has been highlighted by the

Burkinabe Ministry for Education as a

model to be replicated throughout the

country. Its extracurricular activities

push students, as well as other children

from the surrounding areas, toward the

arts — film, theater, music and dance.

The recently completed medical

unit offers convenient health care for

the village, from general practice and

maternity care to dentistry, as well as

education on nutrition and malaria.

Construction on the village’s crowning

festspielhaus will ideally begin at the

end of 2014. The structure will serve as

the crux of the community, physically

residing at the center of a spiral-shaped

village design. It will provide a platform

for local residents to continue developing

their own art identity, pulling them

together for formal workshops, dance

shows and concerts — all to complement

the storytelling, theater performances

and film events that are already taking

shape throughout the village.

And as new needs have arisen, the

village has responded, remaining flexible

with its developing identity as a cultural

center. So far, additional projects have

included a cinema, a recording studio,

guesthouses, a sports area and a

restaurant. In the future, the Operndorf

Afrika team plans to create an artist-in-

residence program, inviting African and

European artists to speak their voices

into the community and likewise learn

from local artists.

For Ouagadougou’s Opera Village, art

is the avenue to a thriving community

— shaking awake the beautiful identity

of a town and ringing hopeful chords far

beyond its borders. (AL

A Powerful Literary DebutA review of We Need New Names, by NoViolet Bulawayo. | BY Z A H R A H N E SB I T T - A H M E D

When you read such prose in We Need New

Names, the debut novel by Zimbabwean

author NoViolet Bulawayo, it is clear why

the author and her works have received

such critical praise.

So far, Bulawayo has won the 2011

Caine Prize for African Writing; the

2013 Etisalat Prize for Literature — a

Pan-African prize celebrating first-time

writers of published fiction books; and

the 2014 PEN/Hemingway Foundation

Award for Debut Fiction. She was also

shortlisted for both the 2013 Man Booker

Prize and the Guardian First Book Award,

and was chosen as one of the National

Book Award’s top-five authors under 35.

We Need New Names powerfully

chronicles a young girl’s coming-of-age

journey from Africa to America.

In the first half of the book, the

10-year-old narrator, Darling, lives

with her mother and grandmother in a

Zimbabwean shantytown called Paradise.

Her father works in the South African

mines but has not yet returned after

many years away. Darling and her friends

prowl around Paradise stealing guavas,

inventing games like “Find Bin Laden”

and singing Lady Gaga songs.

Eventually, Darling moves to America

— to “Destroyedmichygen” (Detroit,

Michigan), specifically — to live with her

Aunt Fostalina. But America is nothing

like what Darling dreamed it would be.

She struggles to make sense of things

such as the greedy snow that swallows

everything, the variety of food available

and the badly behaved children. Still,

Darling makes every effort to fit in, even

adopting an American accent.

There is a sense that, as a teenager,

Darling is not as happy as she was in

Paradise — that she is “hungry for [her]

country and nothing is going to fix that.”

“Paradise is all tin and stretches out in the sun like a wet sheepskin nailed on the ground to dry; the shacks are the muddy color of dirty puddles after the rains. The shacks themselves are terrible but from

up here, they seem much better, almost beautiful even. . . .”

Bulawayo presents this through the

subtle changes in Darling’s voice, which

moves from being lighthearted and quite

funny in Paradise to drier, more subdued

and even cruder in “Michygen.”

She struggles with being teased at

school about her name, her hair, her style,

and she pretends she’s not hungry when

in public, because she is still learning

how to eat with a knife and fork. But

despite missing home, like many before

her who came on a visitor’s visa and

stayed after it expired, she knows that

going back would be extremely difficult.

She must attempt to delicately balance

her feelings of alienation and longing

with immersion in America.

We Need New Names is a beautifully

written series of short stories, woven

together by the vibrant voice of Darling —

keeping the reader hooked from the shacks

of Paradise to cold, cold Michygen. CO

In 1865, his son Menelik II triumphantly

entered Ankober after defeating Emperor

Tewodros II in a battle at Gadilo-Meda.

Only 22 years old at the time, Menelik

II oversaw the Shewa Kingdom from

Ankober until moving the capital farther

south to Addis Ababa in 1886 (where he

was crowned emperor).

Ankober’s geography played a critical

role in its selection: It was relatively

close to the coast (now modern Djibouti);

well-positioned to expand Menelik II’s

territory to the south; and located on an

important trading route. From the Red

Sea, merchant ships delivered arms and

other goods inland and sailed away with

loads of coffee, ivory and gold. Ankober

and the nearby town of Aliyu Amba served

as customs offices for the caravan route,

adding additional revenue to Menelik’s

administration. The surrounding wood

forests of Wef-Washa also offered endless

building supplies and fuel.

Intrigued by the area — and armed

with a smartphone, Google Maps and

an old Land Rover — I headed northeast

toward the Highlands. Although I could

only stay one night in Ankober, I hoped

the experience would allow me a glimpse

into Ethiopia’s history beyond what I

could read.

A few hours later, after winding

through fields studded with cattle and

feeling every pounding of the rock-

strewn road, I watched the path begin

to ascend, pulling away from the plains.

Suddenly, the mountains appeared and

the air turned cooler.

Ankober is a relatively small and quiet

town, with a population of roughly 2,300.

A hospital and police station sit on the

main street, alongside ramshackle stands

offering spices, lentils and glass bottles

of soda. Boys play foosball by the side of

the road.

All that is left of Menelik II’s former

fortress is a stone wall, but an ecotourism

hotel has been constructed on the site,

Reaching this post was not easy. To

get here, I drove four hours outside of

my home and Ethiopia’s capital, Addis

Ababa. Although I’d been living in Addis

for more than a year, few locals or expats

had suggested Ankober as a historical

weekend trip, instead advising the

classic visits to Lalibela and Gondar. But

after stumbling across a blog post that

Standing on the mountain that used to house Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II is a bit like perching on the top of the world. The ridgeline of jagged mountain peaks extends outward as far as the eye can see, forming blue ribbons of color against a sky punctuated with thin cloud threads. Below, houses and people remain concealed by the rolling hills and forests.

P mentioned how Ankober once served

as the seat of authority in Ethiopia, my

curiosity took over.

The first known ruler to utilize

Ankober as an administrative center was

King Yekuno Amlak, in power from 1270 to

1285. The city later became the capital of

the Shewa Kingdom in 1745, hosting five

different kings, including Haile Melekot.



just a few minutes past the town’s center.

As I pulled into the parking lot in the late

afternoon, I glimpsed the Ankober Palace

Lodge from below but quickly realized

that the only way to access it is the old-

fashioned way: on foot. A tattered sign

tacked to a tree at the beginning of the

trail read like an omen: “Travel is only

glamorous in retrospect.”

The path upward was steep, passing

through a dense stretch of trees. Pale

white butterflies fluttered about the

walkway. Fifteen minutes later, I emerged

from the shady darkness to the base of

the lodge and climbed the rest of the way

on stone stairs.

Upoon reaching the summit, I paused

to catch my breath. At 2,870 meters

above sea level, I watched the cliffs of

the Rift Valley below tumble downward,

a patchwork of verdant green farms and

forests. The surrounding highlands formed

a seemingly unending series of plateaus.

From this vantage point, I understood why

different political dynasties would have

claimed Ankober as their own.

I checked into the lodge — my sleeping

accommodation a room with a high,

thatched-roof ceiling and a cement floor.

The main attraction in this isolated setting

is the chance to experience where Menelik

II — now widely considered the founder

of modern Ethiopia — began his imperial

journey, and to revel in the solitude. The

lodge has re-created the building style

utilized by Menelik, constructing them

with locally sourced materials.

On the palace grounds, tiny turquoise

birds swooped in and out of sight.

Sounds from below — children shouting,

a goat herd migrating toward pasture

— mingled with the stillness. Although

I only saw birds during my stay, other

wild animals such as the colobus monkey

and gelada baboon, as well as hyenas

and leopards, can be glimpsed in the

surrounding hills.

During Menelik’s reign as King of

Shewa, people flocked to this area; one

19th-century travelogue estimated that

10,000 inhabitants lived in sprawling

settlements surrounding the palace.

Diplomats from Britain, France and

Italy established missions in Ankober, in

hopes of influencing Menelik from his

imposing perch. The city also established

its reputation as a center of learning and

the arts, attracting clergy members, writers

and medicinal healers. Menelik even owned

the first telephone installed in Ethiopia.

It is rumored that French poet Arthur

Rimbaud passed through here once to

transport arms to Menelik, only to find

that the king had already abandoned

Ankober. Perhaps Rimbaud also sat

outside at dusk as I did, witnessing the

sun drop behind the blue ridgeline, stars

appearing like freckles across the dark sky.

After Menelik moved to Addis, many

of Ankober’s residents also trickled away.

A new rail line between present-day

Djibouti and Addis bypassed Ankober,

and many people migrated to be near the

railway. Menelik also moved on to other

feats; during his governance as emperor

of Ethiopia (1889 – 1913), he successfully

headed off an attempt by the Italians

to conquer parts of Ethiopia, defeating

Italian troops in 1896 at the infamous

Battle of Adwa.

Ankober was later used to house

political prisoners. When Mussolini’s

Italian forces invaded Ethiopia in 1935,

Ankober resurfaced as a hub for the

Ethiopian resistance movement. Many of

the area’s churches and settlements were

destroyed as a result of battles, and the

majority of the remaining residents fled

to Addis, walking the 130 kilometers in a

few days’ time.

Ankober’s military past and the

subsequent migrations were eerie

subjects to contemplate in the darkness.

The next morning, coffee at the lodge

was prepared the traditional Ethiopian

way: Beans were roasted over the fire,

turning their exteriors from pale green to

a deep brown. They were then pounded

into powder, filtered through boiling

water and served in a clay pot. The coffee

was smoky and slightly bitter, leaving a

light residue of grit on the tongue. I ate

breakfast on the restaurant’s patio, then

meandered around the palace grounds

before departing back to Addis.

Travel is often about coming into

contact with the new or different. But

experiencing history through travel

brings a new shade of understanding to

our world: For a brief moment, you are

transported to a coffee caravan, nights

illuminated by candlelight, the decisions

of a long-gone king. Retreating to

Ankober is a vivid reminder that history

is often most alive when standing on the

ground of its ghosts.

Experiencing history through

travel brings a new shade of

understanding to our world . . .

Boris Kodjoe & Nicole Ari ParkerA Hollywood pair that puts family and charity first.

In addition to a wide variety of acting roles, Kodjoe also works as a professional photog-

rapher, and both he and Parker have launched fashion-related entrepreneurial ventures.

However, anyone who meets the pair (or visits their social-media accounts) can testify

that they cherish their roles as parents and charitable foundation supporters most of all.

Boris Kodjoe was born in Vienna, Austria (one of the newest international destina-

tions for Ethiopian Airlines), to a German mother and a Ghanaian father. After growing

up in Gundelfingen, Germany, he moved to the United States at age 19 to attend Virginia

Commonwealth University on a tennis scholarship.

To rid himself of his heavy German

accent, Kodjoe began taking acting classes.

After several years working in fashion pho-

tography as a model, he made his way to

Hollywood and eventually found roles in

film and television. In 2000, he met Parker

on the set of the TV show “Soul Food.” The

pair wed in Kodjoe’s hometown in 2005

and now have two children, ages 7 and 9.

Earlier this year, the couple traveled to

Addis Ababa to participate in the African

Mosaique Fashion Show, an annual gala

sponsored in part by Ethiopian Airlines.

The show raises funds for the Ethiopian

Children’s Fund, founded in 1997 by for-

mer model Anna Getaneh, a longtime

friend of the Kodjoes.

During their brief trip to Ethiopia,

Kodjoe and Parker visited the char-

ity’s main project in Sululta, where

more than 500 children from vulnerable

backgrounds are provided with private

schooling, nutrition and health care.

Kodjoe says the visit was inspirational,

and it was also a joy to finally see the

project about which his friend Anna has

talked so passionately.

In 2008, Kodjoe and Parker had fol-

lowed their own passion by establishing

Sophie’s Voice Foundation, dedicated to

the prevention of spina bifida — a devel-

opmental disorder that their daughter,

Sophie, was diagnosed with at birth.

In addition to spreading awareness

about spina bifida prevention in the

United States, Sophie’s Voice Foundation

has also opened a chapter in Ghana,

where the foundation promotes the for-

tification of local flour with folic acid (to

help reduce the number of babies born

with the condition).

The couple looks forward to doing

more work across Africa. “Later this year

we’ll probably take the kids on their first

safari,” says Kodjoe. For as thrilling as life

in the entertainment business may be,

it is clear that the adventures of parent-

hood come first for Boris Kodjoe and

Nicole Ari Parker.

At a time when the personal lives of film and televi-

sion performers draw arguably more attention than

their artistic achievements, actors Boris Kodjoe and

Nicole Ari Parker stand out as a refreshingly down-

to-earth Hollywood couple.

E ach year, most of Zambia’s tourist traffic heads to the historic city of Livingstone and the

world-famous Victoria Falls nearby. Lusaka, 500 kilometers to the north, may not boast

any similar natural wonders, but the capital city is an excellent destination for combining

business with pleasure.

7:30 a.m. At the heart of the tree-lined diplomatic district, the InterContinental Lusaka

serves as an ideal basecamp for launching a business trip to the city. The hotel is just a short drive from

the central business district and offers concierge services to arrange local excursions and dining plans.

But don’t forget to plan an extra day to explore, once work is done. For a quick start to your day off,

grab a coffee and pastry at the Rhythms Café, located in the hotel lobby. Or to dine on more hearty

fare, head to the Savannah Restaurant and Grill and enjoy a full buffet while seated on the terrace

overlooking the hotel’s swimming pool and gardens.

9:00 a.m. For an introduction to Zambia’s history and diverse cultural traditions, start your trip

with a visit to the Lusaka National Museum. The museum, which can be seen in a relatively short

trip, features archaeology and anthropology exhibitions, as well as a collection of contemporary

Zambian art and an onsite craft shop.

10:30 a.m. Stop by the Kabwata Cultural Village — a residential community where 72 local artists

and artisans ply their trades and sell to the public. The village, which has been preserved to show how

local Lusakans lived prior to independence, features the work of woodcarvers, basket weavers, batik

artists and others from each of Zambia’s nine provinces.

Some of Lusaka’s best-kept secrets are the world-class wildlife experiences

11:30 a.m. Some of Lusaka’s best-kept

secrets are the world-class wildlife expe-

riences located less than an hour’s drive

away. Just 40 minutes south from down-

town Lusaka, for example, lies the Lilayi

Lodge — a classy hotel situated on a game

farm that allows visitors to experience the

best of Zambia’s natural beauty.

Start your visit to Lilayi by checking

out the elephant nursery, which cares

for and rehabilitates orphaned elephant

calves. Here you can learn about the pro-

cess of how these abandoned animals are

raised and released into the wild. Be sure

to watch the feeding of the elephants

from the viewing deck, which takes place

every day just before noon.

1:00 p.m. Head to the Lilayi Lodge res-

taurant for an elegant lunch of African

fusion cuisine. The eclectic menu fea-

tures everything from Zambian craw-

fish ravioli to grilled eland (a local ante-

lope) served with roasted vegetables and

truffle cream, as well as a surprisingly

extensive wine selection.

2:30 p.m. Lilayi Lodge offers afternoon

game drives in open-top vehicles led by

professional guides. The 650-hectare

game farm features an impressive range

of wildlife, including zebra, giraffe, more

than 300 species of birds and most

of Zambia’s native antelope species.

Walking, biking and horseback safaris

can also be arranged.

6:30 p.m. After heading back into the

city, treat yourself to dinner at Filini, one

of Lusaka’s leading Italian restaurants.

Located in the center of the spaceship-like

Lilayi Lodge — located less than an hour’s drive from the capital — offers respite from the busy city. Here, guests can visit the elephant nursery and enjoy an afternoon game drive or horseback safari.

building that houses the Radisson Blu

Lusaka, Filini features a diverse selection

of Italian dishes with a local twist.

The offerings include starters such as

carpaccio of kudu (another local antelope)

with rocket salad and Parmesan cheese,

as well as entrées such as tagliatelle

pasta with pan-fried prawns in a creamy

chardonnay-and-garlic sauce.

9 p.m. To wind down your day, catch

some live jazz music at The Misty Jazz

Restaurant and Café. In addition to the

resident band, The Optimistic, the venue

also features performances by other local

and international musicians.

11:30 p.m. Return to the InterContinental

to call it a night. Refreshed by a day of lei-

surely sites and bites, you’ll be ready for

whatever business awaits tomorrow.

Tasting HistoryA food tour through Old Delhi and into a haveli. | BY C A N DAC E ROSE R A R D O N

I n his classic travel narrative, City

of Djinns: A year in Delhi, William

Dalrymple writes, “The haveli was a

world within a world, self-contained

and totally hidden from the view of

the casual passer-by.”

Originating from the Persian word

hawli for “an enclosed place,” a haveli

is a traditional private mansion found

across India and Pakistan, with a

central courtyard and several stories of

connected rooms.

Havelis dating to the 16th century

line the streets of the historic Delhi

neighborhood of Shahjahanabad, concealed

from sight behind carved doors and high

courtyard walls.

But thanks to a man named Dhruv

Gupta, I will have the chance to step

inside one. Gupta offers walking tours of

Old Delhi that culminate in dinner inside

his family’s home.

“Welcome to my city, my Delhi,” he

says to our small group of three when

we meet on a bright Sunday afternoon.

“I want you to feel like a local, walk local,

eat local. When you think about this part

of the city, I want you to have a big smile

on your face. I always say this is God’s

favorite part [of Delhi].”

As we walk, Gupta occasionally stops

to point out details we might have

overlooked on our own, even though our

primary purpose is the street-side stalls.

We are here to taste Old Delhi.

For two hours we weave through the

crowds toward stalls roasting shelled

peanuts in an iron wok, crushing pungent

ginger and cardamom for a fresh pot of

chai tea, or frying aloo tikki (potato patties)

in giant pans of bubbling oil.

Other shops sell matar kachori — round

savory snacks filled with peas and spices

like cumin and fennel seeds — and serve

sweet lassis (blended yogurt drinks) in little

clay tumblers, which are often discarded

in the street once finished. Shards of clay

sometimes crunch beneath our feet.

While each stall yields new finds and

Old Delhi’s Jama Masjid mosque is the largest in Delhi, with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees.

flavors, I most enjoy meeting 60-year-old

Har Prashad, sporting a gray mustache

carefully twirled at the ends. He’s been

selling naan khatai cookies from a wooden

cart in the same spot every day for more

than 40 years.

“My elder brother used to make them,”

he tells us, “so I am carrying on with the

same tradition — with what my father

taught my brother, and what my brother

taught me.”

“Garam,” Prashad warns as we sample

the cookies, and I thankfully recognize the

Hindi word for “hot” before taking a bite. As

I savor the almonds and ghee, the clarified

butter so prevalent in Indian cooking, I

wonder if we’re tasting history itself.

One bicycle rickshaw ride and a short

walk later, we arrive at Gupta’s front door.

We leave our shoes at the entrance and take

in the courtyard’s colorful mosaic floor,

intricately carved sandstone walls and a

ceiling completely open to the elements.

“We enjoy the sunlight, moonlight,

even the rain,” Gupta says.

His wife, Richa, greets us with glasses

of freshly squeezed lime juice in their

living room. There, set out among hand-

carved rosewood furniture, are family

heirlooms — including the spinning

wheel that Gupta’s great-grandfather

once used to spin thread from cotton.

With the rest of Delhi now on the

other side of 18-inch-thick walls, it truly

feels as though we have stepped into

another time.

Our tour of the house ends beneath

the stars on Gupta’s rooftop. In the

distance, I spot the distinctive domes of

the Jama Masjid mosque, imposing in

person but so much smaller from this

vantage point.

Back on the ground floor, dinner is

served around the family dining table, set

with bronze plates, utensils and cups. Richa

piles our plates with steaming basmati

rice, dahl (lentil stew), zucchini kofta (balls

of breadcrumbs, grated zucchini and

spices), and as many warm puris (deep-fried

unleavened bread) as we can manage.

The flavors of India run strong

throughout each dish, piquant with

coriander seed, turmeric and red chili

powders. Dessert is rose-flavored kulfi —

Indian ice cream with a smooth, gelato-

like texture, made from just milk and

rose petals.

“This is my small world, which I like to

share,” Gupta says as we scrape up the last

of our kulfi, thanking us for spending the

evening with him and his family.

But it is we who thank him more —

for giving us a taste of history and for

this glimpse into a side of Delhi we would

never have otherwise seen.

HOW TO BOOK: The Old Delhi Bazaar Walk and Haveli Visit takes place daily and is offered as both a half or full-day tour, no more than eight people at a time. The half-day tour costs Rs 2,750 (US$50), while the full-day version is Rs 5,500 (US$100). For more information or to book online, visit masterjikeehaveli.com.

—Candace Rose Rardon is a travel writer, photographer and sketch artist originally from the state of Virginia (USA). One of her favorite places to spend an afternoon is Old Delhi, getting lost in its narrow, winding backstreets — provided she can find her way out again.

A range of curry spices and fresh eggplant are a few of the offerings found in the street markets of Old Delhi.

Kano, Nigeria

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION

Thousands gather in Kano each year to

celebrate the three-day Durbar festival,

hosted by the emir. The festival commemo-

rates two annual Muslim festivals: Eid al-

Fitr (marking the end of Ramadan) and Eid

al-Adha (marking the end of the annual pil-

grimage to Mecca). Durbar culminates in a

galloping procession of elaborately dressed

horsemen throughout the city to the emir’s

palace, where they offer their allegiance on

behalf of the neighboring villages.

CO M P I L E D BY J O D I M AC FA R L A N

CAPITAL of Kano State

POPULATIONsecond-largest city in Nigeria, with a metro population of 2,828,861

AREA499 sq. km. (about 1/6 that of Washington, D.C., or 1/5 that of Johannesburg)

LANGUAGESEnglish and Hausa

Ethiopian Airlines now flies four times weekly to Kano — its fourth destination city in Nigeria, following Abuja, Enugu and Lagos.

FAST FACTS

K A N O N I G E R I A

The city boasts 500-year-old dye pits, where indigo is still mixed with

potassium and ash and fermented for a month before being used to

color cloth. The 125 pits were constructed around 1500 and assigned to

individual families, whose descendants are said to still control the trade.

In the early 1800s, Kano thrived as the greatest commercial power in West Africa. Located at the southernmost point of the trans-Sahara trade routes, the city transported its leather and cotton goods northward by camel caravan until trade began to diminish in the latter part of the century. Today, Kano remains a major center for the pro-duction and export of agricultural products.

The 20-kilometer-long wall that surrounds the Old City dates to the 15th century, having replaced the original structure built during the 1100s. Inside, visitors can visit the teal-domed Great Mosque; the Kurmi Market, known for its crafts; and the Emir’s Palace (the oldest and largest traditional palace in Nigeria, as well as the country’s oldest continuous seat of authority).

SEATED EXERCISES These gentle exercises, which you can carry out easily during your flight, will help blood circulation and

reduce any tiredness or stiffness that may result from sitting in one place for several hours. Check with

your doctor first if you have any health conditions that might be adversely affected by exercise.

hand behind right elbow and gently press

elbow toward shoulder. Hold stretch for 15

seconds. Repeat on the other side.

NECK ROLL

With shoulders relaxed, drop ear to shoulder

and gently roll neck forward and to the other

side, holding each position for about five

seconds. Repeat five times.

SHOULDER ROLL

Hunch shoulders forward, then upward, then

backward, then downward, using a gentle,

circular motion.

OTHER TIPS FOR A COMFORTABLE FLIGHT

ANKLE CIRCLES

Lift feet off the floor and draw a circle with

the toes, simultaneously moving one foot

clockwise and the other foot counterclockwise.

Reverse circles. Do each direction for 15

seconds. Repeat if desired.

FOOT PUMPS

Start with both heels on the floor and point

feet upward as high as you can. Then put both

feet flat on the floor. Then lift heels high,

keeping the balls of your feet on the floor.

Continue cycle in 30-second intervals.

KNEE LIFTS

Lift leg with knees bent while contracting

your thigh muscles. Alternate legs. Repeat 20

to 30 times for each leg.

KNEE TO CHEST

Bend forward slightly. Clasp hands around

the right knee and hug it to your chest. Hold

Fleet | fly ethiopian

Boeing 777-300ER The B777-300ER is one of the largest and

most-modern members of our fleet, with

a 400-seat capacity. Its spacious cabin

interior, high ceiling, advanced in-flight

entertainment system, increased stowage

capability and additional cargo uplift flex-

ibility give our passengers the best possible

travel experience. The aircraft also perfectly

complements its predecessor in our fleet,

the B777-200LR (Longer Range) airplane, by

providing additional capacity and flexibil-

ity on popular routes such as Guangzhou,

Washington, D.C., Lagos, Luanda and Dubai.
