Wat moet ik weten over de cultuur?
Wat moet ik doen?
- Visit Lalibela's rock-hewn churches — one of Africa's most extraordinary sites.
- Try injera with wot (spongy bread with stew) — it's eaten communally with your hands.
- Attend a traditional coffee ceremony — Ethiopia is where coffee originated.
Wat moet ik vermijden?
- Don't eat with your left hand — use your right.
- Don't refuse coffee if offered — it's a deep cultural ritual.
- Don't photograph people without permission.
