Doing coke in Addis

Coke sign

I loved this Coke sign near our guest house. I found myself drinking Coke for the first time in ages and really enjoyed it. It tasted exactly like the Coke of my childhood, unlike Ethiopian Pepsi, which was like nothing I’d ever tasted (and not in a good way). Unfortunately each bottle contains about 10 spoons of sugar, so my pancreas is probably scarred for life.

    Bah! Enjoy this life while you have it. If you live in fear of what something may do to you in years to come, you miss out on wonderful experiences.

      True, but if you die young from diabetes or a heart attack you also miss out on a lot of wonderful experiences.

    yes, well. Middle way. Enjoy things in life, just not to excess, right?
