Life in Gambella town for a foreigner is full of difficult
choices. For example, what would you do if your randomly assigned hotel room
turns out to be the “presidential suite” at the "nicest" hotel in Gambella? The
quick response is, take it! But the real response is much more difficult. While
it is the only room with A/C and a nice flat screen TV, is it really worth it
when a swarm of about 2,000 bees decides that is where they want to hang out as
well? Once you wait out the bees, grasshoppers, flies, mosquitos, ants, and
cockroaches then you have to decide if it is worth having A/C despite the smell
of a full septic tank gravitating from the bathroom? The answer for me was yes and
yes. Gambella is just way too hot and humid to pass up an opportunity to have
A/C. Now if the power would just stay on so I could use it…
