The station
The is another good friend and I at the station on our way to go watch 'The Lion King' at the theatres!! This was actually my second time going but it was still just as great as the first time i watched it. We was so excited because it was also the day just after we finished our last GCSE exam in year 11 so we decided to take lots and lots of photos on that day.A day to remember definitely!

My sister
Here is another picture that i took of my sister. This was also during the summer last year 2009 in Hyde park. We was at an Eritrean event of that day which was Eritrean martyrs day.
Every year, June 20Th is Martyrs Day in Eritrea. Ever since Eritrea gained its independence in 1991, the day June 20Th has been set of respecting and paying tribute to all those who paid the ultimate price, life, in the great 30-year war to re-claim national independence of the country and people of Eritrea including those who lost their lives.(That's why there is lots of people standing around behind her)
However,I took the photo so quickly, i didn't expect it to turn out that great!
She has such a lovely smile. Aw.

My younger sisters
During the summer holidays last year, my family went out to the beach in Briton!We woke up so early and took about 2 hours and a bit to get there by car.
It was such a long and hot day. The view of the beach was beautiful and the fun fair was great! It was such a good day and we took lots of pictures, i took this one. I don't think they was ready but oh well :)

Night Night Asmara
Cathedral
St Joseph's Cathedral in Asmara, Eritrea, is a large Roman style cathedral in the centre of the city that was built when Eritrea was an Italian colony. It is the seat of the Eritrean Catholic bishop of the eparchy of Asmara. The Eritrean Catholic Church is an autonomous particular church of the Roman Catholic Church.
The building took six years to construct and was consecrated in 1922. Its tall Gothic tower is loosely based on that of the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster, London. The tower rises 57 metres into the sky and it is possible to tour the tower and see fantastic views of the art deco city. On the cathedral site, there is also a primary school, a monastery, and a convent, all of which have existed since the initial construction of the cathedral.

Amazing Eritrean Coffee
One of the most recognizable parts of Eritrean culture is the 'coffee ceremony'.[1] Coffee (Ge'ez ቡን būn) is offered when visiting friends, during festivities, or as a daily staple of life. If coffee is politely declined then most likely tea ("shai" ሻይ shahee) will be served. The coffee is brewed by first roasting the green coffee beans over hot coals gughin a brazier. Once the beans are roasted each participant is given an opportunity to sample the aromatic smoke by wafting it towards them. This is followed by the grinding of the beans, traditionally in a wooden mortar and pestle.
The coffee grounds are then put into a special vessel, called a jebena, and boiled. A jebena is usually made of clay and has a spherical base, a neck and pouring spout and a handle where the neck connects with the base. When the coffee boils up through the neck it is poured in and out of another container to cool it, and then is put back into the jabena until it happens again. To pour the coffee from the jebena a filter made from horsehair or other material is placed in the spout of the jebena to prevent the grounds from escaping.
The host pours the coffee for all participants by moving the tilted jebena over a tray with small, handleless cups (finjal) without stop until each cup is full. Some of the coffee will inevitably miss the cup but this is done to prevent the coffee grounds from contaminating the brew. One extra cup is poured each time. The grounds are brewed three times: the first round of coffee is called awel, the second kale'i and the third bereka ('to be blessed'). The coffee ceremony may also include burning of various traditional incense such as frankincense or gum arabic.
