Five days after my arrival into Addis, Tin Tin flies into town armed
with my somewhat strange request for toilet tablets and plastic spatula for
omelette making.
Post Script: We do catch up again, and again tantalizingly far too brief. She is giving Qatar a miss, but squeezing in three days in Djibouti before heading to UAE and seven territories. The pizza is great and the company even better. She tells me that the feeling she gets as she flies out of LA is better than sex. I think she's missing the point.
Tin Tin has made her life choices and she's still got over 200 more countries, territories and principalities to visit. No idea when or where we'll next meet, and i can only hope it will be sooner and for longer. Your an ultimate TT
We met oh so briefly in Kigali a couple of years ago but have stayed
in contact via Facebook and blog posts regularly.
Tin Tin is one of the ultimate dromomaniacs and Ethiopia marks her
88th country as she busily ticks them off one by one. She’s also the
ultimate LA doll. A free-lance set designer on music videos and movies, she has
dedicated her life to travel and shopping.
I’m so snowed under at work whilst she heads south to the Tribal
South, but she’s back through Addis for one night before heading on the dawn
bus to Bahir Dar.
It’s
truly beautiful to catch up with her in an authentic Korean restaurant and time
disappears all too fast. Fortunately, she passes through Addis again, before
heading on for her first visits to United Arab Emirates and Qatar. And she
thinks i’m “rad”.
