Ethiopia is a country of over 52 million inhabitants in the Horn of Africa,
with borders with Sudan, Kenya, Somalia , Djibouti, and Eritrea. The capital is Addis Ababa. The University of Addis Ababa
is the main university in Ethiopia and is conveniently located is downtown Addis Ababa. Many different languages are spoken in Ethiopia.
Classes at the University are taught in English.
More information on Ethiopia can be found in the African Studies WWW/Ethiopia at U. Penn. I spent two weeks in Ethiopia in December 1995 and really enjoyed it. Addis and the North of the country are at a high altitude, and the weather in December was wonderful. The country is very diverse and has a great touristic potential. A beautiful book of photographs of the region is `African Ark' (Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher).
