So many things have been happening all at once lately it's a wonder I can handle it all. I've always been good under pressure, just never wanted to be, but someone knows how much each of us can handle and that indeed will make us stronger.

Hi Lisaopia,

You have an interesting profile. I found your photo essays here through a Google search of similar articles. I recently set up a website (forum) focusing on expats living/working in Ethiopia (http://www.expatethiopia.com).

I would like it if you could register on our forum and help us expand the community so that it would be easy for any new comer to Ethiopia to ask questions on the topics in the forum (or any topic for that matter) and easily get responses.

Thank you and see you at http://www.expatethiopia.com
