I grew up in Awassa. What a nice city!! It brought back all my childhood memories.I now live in the Us and very happy to see this cite.Thanks for the lake Langano pictures as well!!

meronaklilu		10-Jul-2009 13:53
Awassa is the best place. Relatively the cleanest city in Ethiopia. Nice people.

Aubb		15-Jun-2009 09:05
I just returned from my first ever visit to the marvelous country of Ethiopia. I had the chance to be in Awassa for about 4 days and it was such a marvelous experience compared to the heavy traffic and crowded areas of a.a., which i enjoyed nevertheless. Thanks to the tree lined and well planned clean roads of Awassa where i could bike around without the fear of anyone invading my privacy and right to travel, which also lead me to the Tabor mountain where i had a bird's eye view of Awassa from all directions. I enjoyed the visit to lake Awassa, however this place needs a lots of attentions of tourism authorities and especiall concerned Awassans to provide uptodate touristic and other facilities around the lake area. strict rules must be applied to protect the clean waters of the lake from any kind of contamination due to bathing and cleanin fish and throwing fish waste back into the waters. Awassa is a great peaceful city with a bright future due to the expansion of the educational facilities, and hotel and restaurant business, and not to forget its administrative importance in the southern region!! I enjoyed tasting the freshly cooked Tilapia at the lake side as well as that was served in decent restaurants in the city as well. Am eagerly lookin forward to make frens from all over Ethiopia the northern regions which i wish to visit during my next longterm visit to Et which is very soon, and especially Awassans who can be of great help to share views and opinions and also assist me during my next visit too. I would also like to advise tourists heading to Awassa and other prominent touristic places in the northern to avail the SKY BUS facility which originates at Friendship Building, 4th floor, Bole Road, A.A., which started just few months ago. I could not avail this service myself due to the fact i came to know this service just 5 days before my departutre from a.a. Nevertheless i met a competent technical head of Sky bus who took time to brief me about the serivices of his company which plans 30 brand new buses very shortly (these buses are under production in China , where he visited thrice to supervise the process he said). However, every foreign tourist must gather the necessary travelling information in advance by oneself as it is impossible to find a touristic map of Et in the govt. tourist offices or big book shops such as Mega and Book world all over a.a. Many ethiopians do not have the necessary travel information at hand that will be helpful to newcomers as few of them seriously travel around this marvelous country. Et has great touristic and commercial potential given its vast lakes of water and rivers flowing across the country. the land is so flat and suitable for agribusiness of global scale too. Oh yes, the weather around a.a., and many regions is cool and pleasant at around 27C with year round sunshine. I must say i never saw or used a fan in the buildings and cafes and the places i lived and visited......believe me!! It would be very rude if i didnt mention the warm and friendly nature of every Ethiopian that i came across all over this beautiful country. The moment i landed at Bole airport ethiopians began to converse in Amharic firstly and then English due to my resemblance to a Habesha (national)!! I also travellled the local long distance buses to experience the local life, which are a bit slow and stop at many checkpoints, restaurants and to pick-up passengers thru the journey. Ethiopia will see great prosperity due to the completion of Mega electricity projects starting from coming July and for many years to come. Et is also blessed with many natural resources and human talent amongst the diaspora. God bless Et. pls do not hesitate to comment or simply write to me about things that i wish to know about Et., and also to have many interesting frens all over Et. pls write me at aubb_seq@ayhoo.com best wishes to all. Aubb (Aubrey). am currently living in Middle east.

NETSANET		27-Apr-2009 12:38
WOW Hawassa My Allah Save you.... I can't forget the sidama cultural food "[ Buresame]" I was eaten in LOGITA CAFFEE and resturant "Sefere Selam" it was so sweet at that time... Let me tell you the fundation of Hawassa..... The main cause for the foundation of Hawassa town is the natural beauty of Lake Hawassa and the area around. The name of the lake “Hawassa” means “big” in Sidamigna language. In earlier times the place was not inhabited by many people, but pastoralists used to graze their cattle around the lake.Hawassa town has got its name from the name of “Lake Hawassa”. Before the establishment of the town the land along the edge of the lake was named “Ada’are” which means “a field of cattle” in Sidamigna language. The existence of water through out the year and the availability of grass for grazing the cattle gradually attracted the highlanders to visit the area constantly and at the same time people from different area begun to settle in the area.... I missed this beautyful city. I'm currentlly live in lo.o If you need the more information about Hawassa I can Chat online.... wassa_buresa@yahoo.com

aklilu		26-Nov-2007 23:18
The lake I grew up swimming like a fish, The fish we used to eat raw before we ever heared of sushi, The Amora Gedel (Crow Hill), and the oak tree we dived into the lake fearlessly, The Awassa water that stained our teeth "gold" permanently, The Piasa street we always took a walk every dusk whether there was dust or raining, The Crimson Sun Set on Lake Awassa we never missed every evening, Awassa my dusty land we romaed on with our shorts and barefooted, Where I opened my eyes about love, life and the world, Awassa my beloved, Grow, prosper, and go on nurish, But never let, your true essence and beauty perish. aklilu

I am doing my assignment to be submitted on Friday Nov 02, 2007 for my M.Sc study in the Netherlands (Rotterdam). Many of my class mates who come from different country go to internet to collect pictures, dates and evidences concerning their cities and country for their assignment, I was sad and afraid thinking that no any data on internet concerning my city and country but I got some and impressed while seeing...now I can make assignment full and beautiful. I may score good…thanks all who contribute it…Keep it on Mesafint Alemayehu, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
