One cannot discuss about Ethiopia without discussing its culture. After all, Culture is one single factor that sets Ethiopia apart from other countries. And one cannot discuss about Ethiopian culture without also discussing its coffee ceremonies, its secular and religious festivals, its cuisine, its sporting legends and its social etiquette upon which the people of this vibrant society is built.
In the words of Frances Linzee Gordon - a Scottish author who made several trips to Ethiopia - Ethiopia “has ensured that its culture has remained remarkably intact, unpolluted and undiluted by outside influence. The country retains its own particular language and script, its own food and drink, its own church and saints, even its own calendar and clock. Endlessly fascinating, it defies any categorization and generalization; Ethiopia is like no other country in Africa.”
