Happy New Year!!

Thursday is New Year's Day in Ethiopia, so Happy New Year to you. Because Ethiopia follows a different calendar, their New Year's Day falls on September 11th each year. This also means that they are just entering the year 2001 and this whole past year has been full of Millenium celebrations. So while in the States is might be 09.11.2008, here in Ethiopia today is 01.01.2001 . Just in case you needed the day off, let your boss know today is New Years Day.
