Welcome AboardEsteemed Customers,

W e are working hard to provide the best

possible travel experience and to be your

airline of choice for international travel.

In recognition of our continuous efforts,

Air Transport World — the leading global travel publica-

tion — chose Ethiopian as the “2015 Regional Airline of

the Year.” This award is above all a testimony to your con-

fidence in us, and it encourages us to work even harder to

meet your high expectations.

In February, we phased in our 11th B-787 Dreamliner

— the aircraft used as our core fleet on mid- and long-

range routes. The Dreamliner is equipped with 180-degree

flat-bed seats in our Cloud 9 Business Class and the latest

in-flight entertainment system, in addition to features

like the highest ceiling, greatly reduced noise, higher

cabin humidity, adaptable lighting system and the biggest

windows in the sky. Similarly, we are retrofitting the Cloud

9 Business Class seats on all of our B-777s to make them

180-degree fully flat-bed, so that you can enjoy maximum

comfort on our ever-growing long-haul routes.

In April 2015, we will achieve yet another milestone

with the start of our flights to Tokyo, our 85th international

destination. By providing the only direct connection

between Africa and Japan, these flights will play an

important role in facilitating greater economic and tourism

ties between the continent — the second-fastest-growing

region in the world — and a highly industrialized Japan.

Back in August 2012, we became the first airline in

the world outside of Japan to own and operate the B-787

aircraft. Continuing with our technology leadership, in

March 2015 we became the first African airline to own and

operate the B-787 Dreamliner full flight simulator. The

simulator will be used to train pilots across the continent

who will determine the future of African aviation.

Lastly, I want to invite you to come and visit Ethiopia in

April for our unique Easter celebrations. In particular, the

colorful procession for Palm Sunday, known as Hosanna, in

the historical city of Aksum is a must-see. You will be truly

amazed at the historical, cultural and natural riches of our

country. As always, our in-house tour operation, Ethiopian

Holidays, is ready to cater to all of your leisure-

travel needs.

Thank you for choosing to fly with us.

We will continue to work hard to earn your

business.

Ethiopian Airlines, the largest airline in Africa, is pleased to announce the

finalization of preparations to start service to Tokyo Narita International

Airport, beginning in April. The thrice-weekly flight will operate in codeshare

partnership with fellow Star Alliance member All Nippon Airways — Japan’s

leading airline.

Providing the only direct connection between Africa and Japan, the

flight will operate through Hong Kong using the ultramodern Boeing 787

Dreamliner aircraft.

“Our flights to Narita,” says Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde GebreMariam,

will play a “critical role in enabling greater people-to-people, investment,

trade and tourism ties between a rising Africa, the second-fastest growing

region in the world, and a highly industrialized Japan, the third-largest

economy in the world.”

Ethiopian is a Pan-African global carrier operating the youngest fleet

in Africa. It currently serves 84 international destinations across five

continents with over 200 daily departures.

NOTEWORTHY

Ethiopian Airlines

first began sup-

porting Hannah

Godefa’s work in 2011, when the then-

14-year-old Ethiopian-Canadian student

started transporting school supplies to

Ethiopia. Over the few years since, the

Hannah Godefa Project has distributed

over half a million educational resourc-

es for students in the country, including

wheelchairs for students with disabilities

and university textbooks.

More recently, though, Hannah has

transformed her grassroots initiative into

a global platform to raise awareness about

important issues for girls around the world

— from lack of education to female genital

mutilation and child marriage.

Her many highlights in 2014 include:

being appointed Ethiopian Ambassador

to UNICEF; hosting an interactive discus-

sion about girl empowerment at the World

Economic Forum, with U.N. Secretary-

General Ban Ki-moon, Rwandan President

Paul Kagame and Norwegian Prime Minister

Erna Solberg; serving as an education for

Africa panelist at the Global Education and

Skills Forum in Dubai; working with the

U.N.’s human-rights committee on elimi-

nating all forms of violence against women;

and speaking at the Girl Summit in London

on eradicating female genital mutilation

and child marriage.

As for the Hannah Godefa Project,

Hannah has been fundraising for the

construction of a vocational training and

education youth center, with a focus on

equipping girls with valuable skills such

as sewing and midwifery. She has raised

US$11,000 to date for the project.

Ethiopian is proud to support Hannah’s

efforts, positioning her at the forefront of

a global movement to empower and edu-

cate young women and girls.

THE HANNAH GODEFA PROJECT

Empowering young women across the globe.

DOING GOOD

Ethiopian Airlines recently accepted the following awards with pride:

“Best Foreign Airline of the Year From Africa” at Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s 9th Annual Awards.

“Best Airline to Africa” by one of the most prominent travel magazines in the United States, Premier Traveler.

“Best Airline in Africa” by the Passenger Choice Awards, the most extensive survey of passengers in the industry.

“Best in Africa” by the African Airlines Association.

AWARDS

Recent accomplishments for Ethiopian Airlines:

Became the first African airline to own and operate the B-787 full flight simulator. Ethiopian was also the first airline in the world outside of Japan to operate the B-787 Dreamliner, and it remains the largest operator of the aircraft in Africa. With the installation of the flight simulator, Ethiopian will be the first in Africa to give full flight simulator training for pilots on the B-787 aircraft.

Expanded codeshare with Air India, offering unpar-alleled air connectivity options between India and Africa. The two Star Alliance member carri-ers, which already have a codeshare in place for the Mumbai and New Delhi routes, have expanded their agreement through Ethiopian’s main hub in Addis Ababa — such as Kigali, Entebbe, Dar es Salaam, Harare and Nairobi — and on Air India’s domestic routes, with the inclusion of Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bangalore.

Around Addis

We know that no collection of books can fully portray the complex historical narratives of any country.

Yet for those interested in Ethiopian history, we’ve done our best to choose a sampling of titles that together present

some of the cultures, conflicts and characters that have shaped the country’s story.

Notes From the Hyena’s BellyAn Ethiopian boyhood

Nega Mezlekia

This biographical tale by an Ethiopian-Canadian author won the Gov-ernor General’s Award — Canada’s top literary prize — in 2000. Set dur-ing the dark Derg era, Ato Nega’s memoir describes what it was like to grow up during and after the infamous communist revolution. Punctuated by many funny and poignant scenes, Notes From the Hyena’s Belly makes a difficult period in Ethiopian history more understandable.

The Barefoot EmperorAn Ethiopian tragedy

Philip Marsden

Though based on

firsthand accounts of

the life of Emperor

Tewodros, this book

is written in the form

of a political thriller

novel. From his rise to

power to his confronta-

tion with the British

Empire, The Barefoot

Emperor chronicles the

leader’s complex and

controversial legacy,

with an engaging style.

Readers interested in

British history will

particularly enjoy the

book’s coverage of one

of the strangest mili-

tary expeditions in

British imperial history.

Pioneers of Change in EthiopiaReformist intellectuals of early twentieth century

Bahru Zewde

Focusing on the first and second generation of Ethiopians to be edu-cated abroad during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Pioneers of Change reveals a deter-mined group of young people who sought to modernize Ethiopia socially, culturally and economically. While opposition from the im-perial government, the brutality of the Italian occupation and other factors undid much of their efforts, the story is both fascinating and inspiring.

Greater EthiopiaThe evolution of a multi-ethnic society

Don Levine

Although first pub-

lished nearly four

decades ago, Greater

Ethiopia remains a

go-to book for many

scholars seeking a

comprehensive

overview of modern

Ethiopia’s social and

anthropological roots.

Written by a Univer-

sity of Chicago

professor who first

visited Ethiopia in the

1950s, the book weaves

a compelling narrative

of how the country has

evolved as a complex,

multiethnic society.

Beyond the ThroneThe enduring legacy of Emperor Haile Selassie I

Indrias Getachew

Any collection of Ethio-pian history would be incomplete without a book focusing on the life of the country’s most famous emperor, Haile Selassie. Though much has been written about the last man to rule im-perial Ethiopia, Beyond the Throne stands apart for its large selection of previously unpublished photographs of the late emperor and the royal family.

*For access: 1.70 Euro (roughly US$2.35) for one day. For usage: The first 30 minutes is free; additional 30-minute segments start at 1 Euro.

Stations are densely located (apparently found every 300 meters); bikes include front baskets and built-in cable locks.

The bike theft rate is high, especially in outlying areas (around 9,000 bikes were stolen in 2012); bikes are reportedly heavy and not so handsome.

The network is the largest outside China (yet it’s still dwarfed by Hangzhou’s 50,000-bike system).

Station screens offer prompts in French, Russian, Hebrew, English and Arabic.

In order to register and rent a bike, you must be at least 18 years old and have a credit card.

Word on the street is that hardly anyone wears a helmet and local bicyclists roam freely — on sidewalks, in the street — so ride at your own risk.

Ethiopia and Japan have enjoyed

nearly a century of positive diplomatic

relations. During the early 20th centu-

ry, Ethiopian leaders looked to Japan as

a model for balancing modernization

and economic growth with indepen-

dence from the West and preservation

of traditional culture. More recently,

Japan has become an important tech-

nical partner, assisting in some areas

critical to Ethiopia’s socioeconomic

development.

The Japan International Coopera-

tion Agency, in particular, is involved

in numerous projects across Ethiopia.

Its activities cross multiple sectors,

from agriculture to manufacturing

to tourism, but two of JICA’s projects

currently underway focus on helping

Ethiopian producers increase the qual-

ity of exports. Given Japan’s ability to

become a major destination for such

goods, these projects carry weighty

potential for Ethiopia’s economy in the

years to come.

WILD FOREST COFFEE

The Certified Forest Coffee Production and Promotion Project promotes sustainable rural development and incentivizes forest conservation in Ethiopia’s Oromia Region. Before the project’s inception, coffee was considered only a secondary source of income for forest inhabitants, whose liveli-hoods depended on the sale of lumber. Thanks in part to its partnership with the Oromia Forest and Wildlife Enterprise, JICA has since organized farmers into “coopera-tives” trained to preserve the forest and process coffee beans efficiently, increas-ing quality and yield. The wild forest coffee produced is already being exported, and big companies — including Japanese coffee giant UCC — have started taking notice.

The Japan International

Cooperation Agency seeks to help

set Ethiopia's products apart.

SHEEP LEATHER

Though JICA’s Champion Product Ap-proach first focused on mentoring and training select Ethiopian industry leaders, the project's second phase has shifted to solely promoting Ethiopian sheep leather. The CPA team has partnered with Japanese creative firm Dentsu to brand Ethiopia’s product, communicating its airy, soft feel to the masses. In the future, this brand will be used to certify high-quality Ethiopian sheep leather and set it apart from products made elsewhere.

CREATIVITY WITHOUT BORDERS

(AL

CO

RIP

For a Swedish film collective called Stocktown, inspira-tion lately has come from a seemingly unlikely source: the young, hip artist gen-eration spanning the African continent.

It all started in 2008, when Stocktown founder Teddy Goitom began to note a lack of information surrounding

Africa’s inde-pendent creative scene. Seeking to convey the idea that creativity knows no borders, he and his col-leagues launched

a short documentary featur-ing South African creatives — from those involved in the heavy metal scene to the street fashion of Soweto.

The show’s success then sparked the creation of Afripedia, a five-part docu-mentary series spotlighting the life and work of artists in not only South Africa but also Angola, Ghana, Kenya and Senegal. While the individuals featured in the series differ greatly in their crafts, they each exemplify their home culture in a unique way. Take, for example, Ghanaian perfor-mance artist Serge Attukwei Clottey, whose “Afrogal-lonism” project raises aware-ness about the water crises in Ghana.

Goitom and his colleagues hope that the the series reflects how individuals are challenging and changing the perceptions of Africa. The team is currently in the process of producing a spin-off feature film, as well as an online plat-form — a visual guide to art, film, music, fashion and con-temporary culture from African creatives worldwide.

Behind the golden peaks of Giza’s pyramids and along the

sinuous stretch of China’s Great Wall stands an agency

devoted to protecting these giants of history. A subgroup

of the United Nations known as UNESCO — short for the

U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

— drives the preservation of more than 1,000 such sites

throughout the world.

A Catalogue of TreasuresHow UNESCO

helps guard our

world heritage.


Created in 1945, UNESCO grew

out of the rather bold hope that

global peace might be fostered

through moral and intellec-

tual means. By 1972, UNESCO

had created its World Heritage

Program to move toward such

peace through significant nation-

al landmarks. UNESCO hoped to

promote dialogue between dif-

ferent countries as they shared

a common goal: to care for their

own country’s historic legacies.

The World Heritage List,

referred to as a catalogue of

world treasures, boasts 1,007 sites

around the world — including

natural sites such as the Great

Barrier Reef (Australia) and The

Wadden Sea (Germany), and

cultural sites such as Paphos

(Cyprus) and the Maya Site of

Copan (Honduras). Once on the

list, these sites serve as land-

marks to capture the imagina-

tion and attention of travelers

throughout the globe.

Among the list’s first 12 sites

(all added in 1978) are Ecuador’s

Galápagos Islands, Germany’s

Aachen Cathedral, Ethiopia’s

Simien National Park and Poland’s

Wieliczka Salt Mine. The Galapagos

Islands were chosen for their foun-

dational role in Darwin’s theory

of natural selection, as well as for

their unique ecosystem and endan-

gered species. On average, 25 to 30

sites are added to the list annu-

ally, each newcomer contributing a

unique dimension of history.

The process to become a

World Heritage site, though,

doesn’t begin with the historical

spot itself but with its homeland.

Only a country that has signed

the World Heritage Convention

— pledging to protect its natural

and cultural heritage — can sub-

mit proposals to nominate prop-

erties within its territory.

To move a site through the

lengthy nomination process

requires diligence and patience.

The last step is to pass the Criteria

for Selection test. UNESCO’s 10

criteria champion accomplish-

ments that range from significant

habitats of biodiversity to a dis-

play of man’s creativity (i.e., a

masterpiece, such as the Italian

church that houses Leonardo da

Vinci’s “The Last Supper”).

Unfortunately, 46 sites cur-

rently land on an in-danger list.

While threats vary from civil wars

to nature’s whims, UNESCO is

committed to finding solutions for

each site’s restoration and protec-

tion. In fact, Egypt’s Giza Pyramids

stand out as one of the organiza-

tion’s greatest success stories: The

World Heritage Committee’s 1995

negotiations with the Egyptian

government rerouted a threatening

highway project near Cairo, keeping

the limestone giants well intact.

But no matter where they find

their place on the organization’s

long list, sites as majestic as India’s

Taj Mahal, as dramatic as Italy’s

Amalfi Coast or as intricate as

Jordan’s Petra vie for our atten-

tion as travelers — demanding our

commitment to keep them alive

and waiting to fold us into the

stories of their past.

Aksum


Region: Tigrai


Once the most powerful state between the Eastern Roman Empire and Persia, Aksum saw a score of Ethiopian emperors crowned between the first and 13th cen-turies. According to Ethiopian tradition, this is where the Ark of the Covenant remains.

Tiya


Region: Southern Nations,

Nationalities and Peoples


Thirty-six rock art monuments from an unknown ancient civilization scatter the landscape at this central Ethiopian site. Believed to have played a funerary role as gravestones, the stones offer a mysterious but beautiful window into a past culture.

Lower Valley of the Awash


Region: Afar


The famous 3.2-million-year-old hominid nicknamed “Lucy” was excavated in this ancient paleo-anthropological site. The val-ley remains significant for its contributions to the history of human development and scientific theories of evolution.

Harar Jugol, the Fortified Historic Town


Region: Harari


Considered the fourth most-sacred Muslim city, Harar Jugol contains 82 mosques and 102 shrines. The maze-like town was built between the 13th and 16th centuries and functioned as the capital of the Harari King-dom between 1520 and 1568.

Lower Valley of the Omo





As a birthplace of humanity, Ethiopia’s southwestern valley provides 3.5 million years of history with its ancient hominid fossils, which are among the oldest ever discovered. The region also hosts rich wildlife and three major national parks.

Konso Cultural Landscape





The walled settlements that make up the Konso Cultural Landscape provide an example of adaptive living in a harsh, dry climate. With their agricultural ingenuity, Konso’s inhabitants have preserved their way of life for nearly 400 years.

So far he’s explored all seven conti-

sections, the 250-kilometer race took

him across tropical beaches, lush paddy

fields, vast savannahs and ancient baobab

forests. Such seemingly untenable ter-

rains bring with them snakes, crocodiles,

vicious insects, blistering heat and drip-

ping humidity.

“Pretty crazy conditions,” says Sandes,

who won the endurance race in 22 hours,

46 minutes and 25 seconds. Slower com-

petitors would take over 70 hours, many

not finishing at all.

It’s easily assumed that Sandes’

fleet-footedness is the result of a lifelong

endeavor. Yet his determination to run

epic distances — and his capacity for

endurance — were discovered only in his

mid-20s.

A latent talent emerges

In 2006, he entered his first marathon on

a whim, part of a mid-winter festival in

the South African holiday town of Knysna.

Friends had egged him on to enter the

half-marathon for fun, but it was sold

out, so he gave the full-distance race a

bash instead. He’d played team sports at

school but had never been a runner, so

he surprised himself by finishing very

comfortably — revealing innate talent

and igniting in him a desire to explore the

world by running.

Growing up in Cape Town, Sandes had

dabbled in surfing, but now his attention

turned to the trail-strewn mountains in his

backyard. Fueled by an adventurer’s spir-

it, he entered and trained seriously for a

250-km, multiday race across China’s Gobi

Desert in 2008, part of the same global

series that took him to Madagascar last year.

Undaunted by any extreme, Ryan

Sandes thrives on the adventure of

ultradistance trail running; the obstacles

and distances, he says, serve his needs

for self-reliance and solitude.

At first, the race was a kind of chal-

lenge; he was keen for a life-altering

adventure and relished the need for

self-reliance, and he says the distance

served his fondness for solitude. Because

it was a self-supported race, only water is

available along the way; Gobi’s competi-

tors must be otherwise self-sufficient and

prepared for sudden extreme changes in

temperature and terrain. All of this is

on top of the reality of running a mara-

thon-or-so each day for almost a week.

Part of what kept him going, he says,

was the experience of encountering a

new part of the world. He recalls run-

ning through ancient villages where local

people don’t see many outsiders. “Those

interactions were quite special,” he says.

His goal had been to simply survive

and make it across the finish line, but

fate and fortitude took him further.

He nabbed first place and kickstarted a

professional trail-running career, his

easygoing charm and broad smile making

him an instant hit with fans and sponsors

Though experts credit Sandes’ success to

both physical and mental fortitude, his

easygoing charm and humility make his

self-determined spirit approachable.

such as Red Bull and Salomon alike.

Within three years of winning the

Gobi March, he’d won similarly brutal

races in a string of extreme locations —

including the Sahara, Chile’s Atacama

Desert (“one of the most beautiful places

I’ve seen”), and the frozen Antarctic wil-

derness. For the latter, he trained on a

treadmill in a sub-zero ice-chamber.

Of all the challenging conditions, he

says he’d be hard-pressed to return to

Brazil’s Jungle Marathon. “Nothing is

your friend in the Amazon,” he says, “and

I was very happy to make it out of there

alive.” Yet he not only survived the jun-

gle’s bugs and anaconda-, caiman- and

piranha-infested rivers, but he also won

the 235-km multiday race in record time.

In 2010 he began also mixing sin-

gle-stage races into his schedule, starting

with a succession of South African vic-

tories. For the Puffer — which traverses

80 km of tar and trail — he arrived over

an hour ahead of the second finisher.

Distance-wise, though, the Puffer paled

alongside his first 100-miler: Leadville’s

notoriously tough “Race Across the Sky”

through the Colorado Rockies. Known for

its knee-shattering ascents at high alti-

tude, the race was Sandes’ first attempt to

run more than 100 km in a single stretch

— and he won that, too, in 2011.

More to running than winning

His victory at Leadville then signaled

a shift in focus toward single-stage

ultramarathons. He racked 100-miler vic-

tories in Hong Kong and Australia, and he

placed second in his first attempt at the

Western States Endurance Run, heralded

as the “world’s oldest and most prestig-

ious 100-mile trail race.”

These were the kinds of races that

hammer both mind and body — to the

extent that competitors undergo man-

datory medical checks and weigh-ins,

to ensure they’re sufficiently hydrated

along the way. Runners often lapse into

hallucination, and along with the lost

toenails, chaffing and blistering, there’s

the kind of muscle fatigue, aching knees,

cramps and sore feet that would cause

the undoing of many.

Sandes says his training schedule

varies according to what he’s preparing

for, but he typically spends between 12

and 22 hours each week running on the

mountain trails he considers his “office.”

He uses the gym for core and balance,

strength and mobility work, and he tries

to mix mountain biking and surfing into

his schedule — especially during post-

race recovery. Plus there are massages,

chiropractic sessions and physiotherapy

to help his body deal with the extreme

lengths he runs.

And yet for Sandes, these grueling

distances are charged with philosophical

significance. “There’s no hiding when it

comes to 100 miles,” he says, explaining

that the physical pain and what it takes

mentally to endure keep him grounded.

“Winning doesn’t make you feel

invincible,” he says, “because the scale

of distance makes you realize that you’re

pretty insignificant on this planet — that

you’re only a small aspect in the grand

scheme of things.”

His humility disguises incredible men-

tal fortitude. Although Professor Tim

Noakes, co-founder of the South African

Sports Science Institute, and other experts

explain his endurance capacity in terms

of his stronger-than-average will and an

extremely positive mind space, Sandes

says it’s that he’s simply doing what he NIC

loves. “I suppose it’s a form of meditation,”

he says, “an escape from reality.”

Of course, being able to escape profes-

sionally requires regularly scoring more

victories and meeting new challenges.

When Sandes won the North Face Trans-

GranCanaria Advanced in Spain in early

2013, for example, he not only gained his

first European victory, but he also became

the first person to win an ultramarathon

on all seven continents.

It was a significant accolade, but

Sandes maintains there’s more to running

than winning races. With this mentality,

he teamed up with fellow runner Ryno

Griesel for the March 2014 Drakensberg

Grand Traverse — a self-navigating

adventure across six of the highest peaks

south of Kilimanjaro.

With few paths and no set route, its

terrain includes sharp ascents, climbing

ridges, steep ravines and ledges carved

into soaring basalt peaks — requiring

much scrambling in places where the

slightest misstep could prove deadly. The

participants also contended with fiercely

unpredictable weather and thin high-alti-

tude air that plays havoc with the lungs.

Setting off at midnight, Sandes and

Griesel covered 207 km in 41 hours and 49

minutes, clocking a mere hour’s sleep while

slicing nearly 19 hours off existing records.

For Sandes, the race wasn’t about times; it

was a personal test, arriving at the finish

not to a podium but to the knowledge that

he’d endured against significant odds.

“When you’re running high up in

the Colorado mountains or the remote

Drakensberg, it’s just you,” he says, “and

maybe one or two herdsmen and their

cattle.

“You are truly in the middle of nowhere,

properly out in a wilderness,” he adds. “I

enjoy those wide-open spaces. It’s not just

you versus other people — it’s you versus

nature. It’s a kind of exploration, a kind of

adventure that comes out of me.” Ultimately, says Sandes, trail running

is for him a form of discovery — both of

himself and of the planet. When all is said

and done, it’s a way of seeing the world.

“It’s not only about running,” he says. “It’s

a kind of travel — a way of getting from

point A to point B.”

Africa’s most exciting ultradistance races.

Marathon des SablesMorocco | April 3, 2015Although it’s not the only race across the Sahara, this one is hailed by many as the world’s toughest ultramarathon — a grueling, 250-km desert-survival travail in one of earth’s harshest climates. Runners need to be self-sufficient, carrying everything except water. Tents are provided for well-deserved nights following days spent trudging across an expansive sandy wilderness. marathondessables.com

HIT THE TRAIL

Though a young sport, ultradistance

racing has already taken Sandes around

the world. In 2013, he became the first

person to win an ultramarathon on all

seven continents.

Wildcoast WildrunSouth Africa | Sept. 6 or 12, 2015Spanning a raw wilderness of undulating hills, craggy cliffs and unspoiled beaches, this race of-fers a 112-km adventure with heart-stopping scenery. There is no specific route; competitors follow the shoreline, occasionally jumping in rivers and wading in the sea. The organizers of this classic event arrange similarly scintillating races in Lesotho and South Africa’s Richtersveld. wildrun.com

Fish River Canyon Ultra Namibia | July 4, 2015Ryan Sandes shaved four hours off the existing record for this race when he ran it in August 2012, cov-ering 96 km in under seven hours. It’s a non-stop, single-stage, self-supporting race that starts at the top of Africa’s largest canyon, descends into it, follows the river, and finishes at Ai-Ais hot springs. There’s a 24-hour cut-off and the option of a 65-km “Lite” race, too. africanextremepromotions.com

MEIJI SHRINE

Located at the heart of Tokyo’s bustling

Shibuya district, the Meiji Shrine and

its surrounding 175-acre park offer an

incredible change of pace from the rest

of the city. The serene shrine buildings

are ringed by over 100,000 trees, creating

a true urban jungle and the perfect host

site for major Shinto religious festivals, as

well as traditional Shinto weddings. The

grounds also contain sports facilities and

numerous cultural attractions, including

the Meiji Jingu Treasure House museum

and the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery.

INOKASHIRA PARK

Established nearly 100 years ago, Tokyo’s

Inokashira Park was originally given as

a gift from the Emperor of Japan to the

public. The sprawling, 95-acre park is home

to a large pond, which was the first water

source for the city of Tokyo. Inokashira

Pond is surrounded by 250 cherry trees

that blossom brightly in the springtime.

The park also contains walking paths, a

plum grove, a petting zoo, an aquarium

and the Ghibli Museum — dedicated to the

popular Japanese animated films produced

by Studio Ghibli.

MOUNT FUJI

With its long, symmetrical sloping sides

and snowcapped peak, Japan’s tallest

and most famous mountain is a sight

to behold. The mount can be seen from

Tokyo on a clear day, and visitors to the

capital city can reach it in less than two

hours by train. Travelers who wish to

climb the mountain can join thousands

of other summer expeditioners in the

months of July and August, with the most

popular way being to complete the trek

overnight and catch a glimpse of the

sunrise from the peak.

HAKONE

For a more leisurely experience of Mount

Fuji, the nearby resort town of Hakone

offers excellent mountain views and

abundant natural hot springs — making

it the most popular getaway for Tokyo

residents. In the middle of Hakone lies

Lake Ashi, a tranquil crater lake that reflects

the grand mountain like a perfect mirror.

Visitors to Hakone can not only soak in the

breathtaking scenery but also experience

the relaxing Japanese tradition of soaking

in steaming onsen (hot springs) baths.

NIKKO

Famous for its many shrines and temples,

the town of Nikko lies at the mouth of

the lush Nikko National Park — just an

easy day trip from Tokyo. The town’s

visitors can explore both the elaborate

wonders of nature — including waterfalls,

lakes and mountains — as well as

elaborately decorated Shinto and Buddhist

architecture. (For another glimpse of

Nikko, turn to p. 36.)

KAMAKURA

This seaside city was a highly important

seat of government from the 12th to 14th

centuries, and it remains the home of

numerous Buddhist temples and historic

buildings. In addition to its interesting

history, Kamakura is also blessed with a

sandy coastline on its southern side that

fills with summertime visitors. The forested

hills surrounding the rest of the city offer

numerous hiking trails, with public parks

and historic sites along the way.

NIIJIMA

Few travelers associate Japan with sun, surf

and sand, but the island of Niijima presents

all of the above — complete with waves

fierce enough to attract international

surfing competitions. Niijima is one of

the Seven Izu Islands that lie in the ocean

south of Tokyo, but as it is administered

by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government,

it is technically considered part of the

city. In additon to is pristine beaches and

the ever-present onsen baths, Niijima also

boasts several man-made attractions: The

Niijima Glass Art Museum, featuring a

unique type of locally-made glass, and a

number of minshuku — traditional owner-

occupied boarding houses, where visitors

can experience true Japanese hospitality

and home-cooked meals.

The city of Tokyo contains numerous wooded parks that offer a respite from the busy urban surroundings.

I’m joined on this path by two other

adults and six children between ages 10

and 15, including my two children who

were adopted from Ethiopia eight years

ago. Though my family and I live in

Australia, we take a biannual pilgrimage

to Ethiopia so that my son and daughter

may reconnect with their culture and

their extended family.

I made this same trek with my

children on our last visit, after scouring

the Internet for places to spend our

Christmas. The Lalibela Hudad — a

10-hectare ecolodge built in 2011 —

provided the perfect place to celebrate

the special time of year for our family.

Making this journey again, I am keenly

aware of the danger of trying to recreate

an experience (especially one I have talked

so much about). But as we begin the

arduous two- to three-hour walk up the

mountain path, my anxiety quickly gives

way; the kids run ahead to chatter and play

with the local children while we adults

meander behind, admiring the flora and

fauna, the freshly harvested fields, and the

local farming practices and customs.

The Hudad is set on a tabletop plateau

3,300 meters above sea level, offering

360-degree views of the magnificent hills

and lush valleys below. Legend has it that

the Hudad (“The Big Farm”) was named by

King Lalibela, who built the area’s famed

rock-hewn churches in the 13th century.

Though the king lived in the town named

after him below, the locals say he used this

land around the Hudad to farm.

Visitors to the lodge stay in cone-

shaped huts called tukuls, built by local

artisans from stones hand-mined from

the plateau itself. The local community

has a significant role in the set-up,

building and running of the ecoresort —

from constructing new huts and cooking

all of the meals to performing evening

dancing-and-singing acts.

Upon arriving at our own tukuls, we find

extra sweaters, hats, gloves and traditional

clothing laid out on the beds — signaling

the cold nights ahead. No running water

or electricity exists here, but solar torches

are provided and hot water is available

by request. Warm water in beautiful

earthenware pots awaits us outside our

huts every morning, and hot water bottles

warm our beds at night. Some have called

this experience “glamping” (glamorous

camping), but I just call it heaven. I haven’t

slept so well in years.

We spend our days enjoying the beauty

of our surroundings: the gelada baboons

roaming freely through low shrubs, the

rock hyrax scuttling away as they hear

our approach, the massive wings of a

lammergeyer casting shadows on the

ground. It is enough to sit and just be here.

But the warm hospitality of our hosts

and the local community imprints the

most lasting impression. Every night, we

gather around the campfire with Ethiopian

men and women to eat together and

sing. As per the local custom, the locals

wash and massage the feet of their weary

guests — making us laugh and the kids

squeal with delight. Together, we feast on

Ethiopian-style pepper steak and aromatic

rice while the stars shine above us.

Here, life is pared back to the essentials:

the majesty of the natural world, the

aesthetic beauty of simple man-made

structures, the joy of relationships and

community. It is all here in abundance.

We drink it up, our hearts and souls filling

with life’s uncomplicated pleasures —

more than enough to carry us down the

mountain path that brought us to this

magical place, and enough to last us till

we can return once again.

S ishu’s home-away-from-home vibe resonates with the Ethiopian diaspora in Addis Ababa,

as well as with expats living in the capital city. In the warehouse-turned-restaurant locat-

ed in the Kera neighborhood, a welcoming aroma of fresh bread emerges from an open

kitchen. Although sandwiches coexist on the menu, Sishu is best-known for its burgers.

Slightly sweet buns and moist, seasoned ground meat join a creamy, tangy homemade

sauce to tease palates; crisp French fries served with made-from-scratch ketchup round out the meal.

The comforting decor combines elements of a diner, picnic, cafeteria and library all in one.

Lingering is expected and encouraged here. While an eclectic playlist wafts in the background,

urbanites from all walks of modern Addis life — drawn mostly by word-of-mouth — relax over meals

and coffee: young foreigners abroad for study or research trips; their older counterparts on business;

visiting Ethiopian diasporas; or permanent returnees, such as restaurant co-founder Matthews Teshome.

Years ago, when Matthews relocated to Addis from the United States, he noticed the lack of

places to hang out that didn’t require drinking alcohol or listening to loud music. Inspired by the

need for a low-key, foreigner-friendly spot to relax, he created Sishu with his business partner (and

restaurant namesake), Selamawit “Sishu” Deneke. Burgers and sandwiches, being simple to prepare,

were an obvious choice for the menu. Customers quickly judged them to be better than most in

Sishu draws patrons in with its industrial-chic vibe and authentic burgers, made from as many locally sourced ingredients as possible.

America, and definitely the best in Addis.

Sishu strives to source as many ingre-

dients locally as possible. Entire cows

are purchased from a farm in Debre Zeit

(southeast of the capital), supplemented

as needed by an Addis supplier. For the

bread, each silky soft portion of home-

made dough is weighed in full view of

customers. Due to the inconsistent sup-

ply and quality of local cheese, Sishu

buys imported Gouda; potatoes come via

Debre Zeit farms as well. Good fries are

hard to come by in the city, Matthews

claims, so it is a goal to keep Sishu’s as

close to the gold standard as possible.

The demand for authentic burgers

and sandwiches in Addis is so high that

customers would likely forgive a little

slip in quality. But Sishu’s two business

partners are focused on maintaining and

improving their products and service. To

keep service standards high, they hire

more staff than the required minimum

but are holding off on opening burger-

only branches until the company culture

and finances can sustain them.

Recruitment and training is slow; new

employees come by referral, and it can take

up to two months for them to reach a full

productivity level. Language and cultural

difficulties make server positions harder to

fill; of the current staff of 45, most work at

the back end of the restaurant.

Sishu keeps its staff members happy by

paying them double what they would make

elsewhere, although Matthews would like

to pay them even more. Until that’s possi-

ble, Sishu maximizes its limited resources

by a form of revenue sharing: Ten percent

of revenue is reserved for salaries and

pensions, and the remaining money is

divided equally among employees. While

small, those bonuses are affordable for

the company and significant enough to

engender employee loyalty. It’s the hope

of Sishu’s co-founders that, one day, all

staff members will share the middle-class

standard of living enjoyed by many of the

restaurant’s customers.

This revenue-sharing model and the

strategy of methodical growth represent

Sishu’s real objective: to help transform

Ethiopian business practices. “Our mission

is to be a model for other businesses in

Ethiopia,” Matthews says. “And the success

of that mission depends on our monetary

success, because if we’re not successful,

then no one will want to copy us.”

Sishu aims to be one of the biggest

companies in Ethiopia within 10 years by

launching a two-part expansion plan: A

second kitchen (already 75-percent func-

tional) will produce and supply burger com-

ponents to high-end hotels, and later the

larger market; and take-out-only branches

will sell burgers at more affordable prices

to a wider segment of the population.

Until enough additional capital from

investors can accelerate these plans, the

company will continue to finesse the res-

taurant’s ambience and menu, assessing

how new items and ingredients play out

with its loyal, always-game customers.

“Something I love about Sishu is

that the food is always consistent,” says

Nathan, the Ethiopian diaspora director of

the documentary Sincerely Ethiopia, which

profiles the restaurant among the best of

what the country has to offer. “I love their

business model, and that they experiment

with other types of food.” He’s personally

all about the cheesesteak sandwich.

Word of Sishu’s bacon (the “best in

Ethiopia”) has gotten around, though, so

the bacon cheeseburger remains a favorite

among both the transient and permanent

crowds of customers. No matter their

origin or destination, all recognize the

universal burger, sandwich and fries —

and a place like Sishu that serves them

with a side of friendly atmosphere — as

something globally familiar, and therefore

always a taste of home.

Selamawit “Sishu” Deneke (above), the res-taurant’s co-founder and namesake, is committed to maintaining the high-est quality standards for both her sandwiches and her business.

Supper Clubs in the Big SmokeAfrican pop-up restaurants burst onto London’s food scene. | BY N A N A O C R A N

Dinner at the Groundnut is served family-style, engendering a strong sense of community throughout each meal.

O ver the last half-decade or so, London has seen hundreds of “pop-up” restaurants

blossom across its landscape — temporary dining establishments that might also

frequently change locations. Offering everything from gluten-free supper clubs and

theatrical banquets in art galleries to secret literary dinners in private homes, these

quirky culinary experiences are spicing up London’s dining scene and gathering

devoted followers.

Whatever the theme, the menus at such events are produced by chefs (whether amateur,

professional or Michelin-starred) whose palates range from Italian to Modern British to Malaysian.

But until 2011, African pop-ups have been rare here.

The reason probably lies somewhere in the fact that communal dining is nothing new in African

social life, with food usually being the focal point of any event that brings extended families

together. But adding an enterprising element might just be the trick to draw African cuisine into

some of the culinary conversations between restaurant diners and critics alike.

Enter the Groundnut and Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen — two pop-up enterprises that are now putting CO

Zoe Adjonoyeh (left), founder of Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen, has created an African pop-up dining experience akin to a private dinner party.

African food firmly on the London map.

What these particular pop-ups are doing

is twofold: They’re highlighting some of the

flavors of a diverse continent, and they’re

also illustrating the fact that African cui-

sine is just as varied as the many countries

and regions from which it springs.

The Groundnut launched in late 2011

as a creative project founded by three

20-something chefs. Today, Folayemi

Brown, Duval Timothy and Jacob Fodio

Todd host their monthly pop-up at

Enclave Projects, an artist-run space in

south London. Their goal is that the

atmosphere would be as much about a

lifestyle as it is a dining experience.

The trio’s mixed heritage strongly

influences Groundnut’s changing menu:

Afro-European fusion, with Nigerian,

Southern African, Ghanaian and Ethiopian

flavors running through. The events are

very much a Facebook and word-of-mouth

phenomenon, with bookings taken on the

pop-up’s website at a reasonable rate of

roughly US$20 per person.

On each Groundnut night, three

sets of hour-long seatings are well

choreographed. Multiple hands reach out

for platters spread atop communal tables,

which might include generously sliced

chunks of sea bream, each cooked with

a crisp skin and a moist but firm center.

Dexterously rolled portions of homemade

injera (an Ethiopian sourdough pancake)

are used to mop up the predominantly

hand-eaten food, which can be optionally

spiced with shito, a Ghanaian fish sauce

with a chili-oil base.

There’s an experimental edge to the

menu, with a convivial crowd of up to

30 diners eager to try each dish. Despite

the African flair to the main options,

the desserts are fairly globally focused

and ultimately aimed at cleansing the

palate. Large bowls of dates and shot

glasses of fresh melon-and-ginger juice,

for example, provide a perfect end to

the meal. As the night winds down, the

event becomes more of a private lock-in,

with the chef-owners kicking back and

sharing bottles of wine with old and new

friends alike.

A similar atmosphere of sociability

exists over in East London, where Zoe

Adjonyoh is the industrious chef and

founder of Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen. Hers is

a thoroughly modern Ghanaian affair —

from the dishes served and the event’s

rapidly growing audience, to the puns

used to market her pop-up sessions on

Facebook, Twitter and the ZGK site (“It’s

Ghana be huge,” “It’s Ghana be tasty” and

“Ghana stand up”).

What essentially started out as a

one-off stall at an outdoor arts festival

has since turned into monthly four-

hour dining experiences with a party

atmosphere. It’s this celebratory vibe and

a sense of getting to know Ghana that has,

like The Groundnut, created a broad word-

of-mouth following from event to event.

Since kicking off her venture in 2011,

Zoe has established lucrative London

partnerships, including one as part of

Diesel clothing’s Studio Africa campaign,

highlighting the continent’s creative

talent. More recently, Zoe has added a

second monthly event, in Berlin.

Zoe hosts her U.K. meal at the

40-person-capacity Studio Gi, with prices

Zoe’s menu combines contemporary and traditional dishes, including “red red” — a popular Ghanaian dish of black-eyed peas in a delicately spiced sauce, served with fried plantains.

ranging from roughly $15 to $40 a head depending on the size of the

menu. Events often feature mass Ghanaian Azonto dancing and sociable

table-hopping, with conviviality being a huge part of the ethos.

Zoe’s ever-changing menu serves up a mixture of contemporary

and traditional homemade dishes based on meals from her childhood,

such as nkatenkwan — peanut-butter stew with slow-cooked lamb. A

comforting delight, it’s infused with fiery scotch bonnet peppers, which

offset the creamy nuttiness of the melting meat. Her “bites,” or finger

foods, are pretty special too: mashed yam balls (a compact combination

of deep fried yam and potato), as well as hot platters of sweet fried

plantains and barbecued suya kebabs (a Nigerian influence).

The Groundnut and ZGK share a mutual respect for each other, as

well as a philosophy to promote a fun, heartfelt entrée into African

culture for a broad audience. “London is a gold mine for great food,”

Zoe says, admitting that the competition keeps her on her toes. “I

embrace any new pop-ups bringing forward new food ideas and

concepts, especially anything from the African continent.”

It’s this type of thinking that is ultimately helping these two pop-ups

to successfully usher African food into London’s culinary fold. It may

be nothing to sample French, Asian and other successfully marketed

international cuisines throughout the capital, but now — as palates are

introduced to everything from wats (spicy Ethiopian stews) to waakye

(Ghanaian rice and beans) — an African food movement has begun.

The fresh ingredients and convivial spirit involved in each pop-up meal have drawn a far-reaching following from event to event.

WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES.TAKE A SEAT.LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION, 500MB COMPLIMENTARY WI-FI DAILY,21 GRILL ON HANNOVER AND COMPREHENSIVE CONFERENCING.

Once considered simply a place to change planes, Qatar has emerged,

seemingly out of nowhere, onto the global arts scene. At the heart of the

action shines Doha — the country’s capital, quickly becoming one of

the leading cultural capitals of the Middle East. Here, our top picks of the

city’s arts-and-culture offerings.

Take 5spotlight

Qatar’s Culture Capital

THE MUSEUM OF ISLAMIC ARTWhen the doors of architect I.M. Pei’s masterpiece opened in 2008, the museum’s unparalleled

selection of Islamic art instantly attracted global attention. Built as a stand-alone island amid

water and surrounded by a park, the museum is the first of its kind in the area. But the artwork

and architecture aren’t the only attractions — the museum’s restaurant IDAM boasts haute French

cuisine with a distinctive Arab twist, and its views of the Doha harbor keep visitors dazzled.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER DOHA

Jazz at Lincoln Center — New York City’s iconic jazz venue — has a permanent sister location in Doha. With seating for 120 people, the club features a rotating lineup of musicians and bands selected by the legendary Wynton Marsalis, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s longtime ar-tistic director. With full dinner service and performances six nights a week, the venue gives visitors an authentic New York–style jazz experi-ence in the heart of Qatar.

KATARA CULTURAL VILLAGE

Boasting theaters, concert halls, galleries and more, Katara Cultural Village stands as a beacon for multiculturalism and artistic exchange in the Middle East. From literature and music to visual art and film, Katara’s offerings seek to challenge the cultural norms and boundaries of the region.

MATHAF: ARAB MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

Celebrating modern and contemporary art, MATHAF provides a uniquely Arabic perspective toward the international art scene. Loaded with permanent and temporary exhibits, as well as proj-ect space and programs for students, the museum fosters both learning and creation within its walls.

AL MARKHIYA GALLERY

Located alongside several galleries in the Souq Waqif — Doha’s restored open-air mar-ket — Al Markhiya stands out as the region’s art ambassador, spotlighting the works of local painters, photographers and sculptors. Its “40 Minus” event, in particular, keeps its pulse on emerging contemporary art, scouting out and promoting undiscovered Arab talents aged 40 and under. (C

> For your own comfort, try to travel light.

> Wear loose clothing and elasticated stockings made of natural fiber.

> Increase your normal intake of water and only drink alcohol in moderation.

> Use moisturizing cream to keep your skin from drying out.

> Take off shoes while on the plane to prevent your feet from swelling up, or wear shoes that will cope with expanding ankles.

> Avoid heavy meals during the flight.

> Take short walks once every two hours to improve circulation.

> Try to touch your toes when waiting in the aisle, to stretch your hamstrings.

> Upon arrival at your destination, take a quick jog, brisk walk or a vigorous scrub to help stimulate circulation. Then, take a hot shower or a relaxing bath.

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.

ARM CURL

Start with arms held at a 90-degree angle:

elbows down, hands out in front. Raise hands

up to chest and back down, alternating hands.

Do this exercise in 30-second intervals.

FORWARD FLEX

With both feet on the floor and stomach held

in, slowly bend forward and walk your hands

down the front of your legs toward your

ankles. Hold the stretch for 15 seconds and

slowly sit back up.

OVERHEAD STRETCH

Raise both hands straight up over your head.

With one hand, grasp the elbow of the opposite

hand and gently pull to one side. Hold stretch

for 15 seconds. Repeat on the other side.

SHOULDER STRETCH

Reach right hand over left shoulder. Place left

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

stretch for 15 seconds. Keeping hands around

knee, slowly let it down. Alternate legs. Repeat

10 times.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner In August 2012, Ethiopian became the first airline

in the world outside Japan to receive and operate

the B-787 Dreamliner. Currently, the airline is the

largest operator of the aircraft in Africa.

The B-787 is ideal for mid- and long-range trav-

el, as its unique features greatly enhance the

customer experience: an audio and video on-

demand entertainment system, greatly reduced

noise, higher cabin air humidity, adaptable

lighting, and the biggest windows in the sky.

It also enables the airline to reduce its carbon

footprint, with up to 20-percent less fuel con-

sumption than similar aircraft.
