on sundays they have the most amazing food market.

i can really recommend the ethiopian food (its r50 for a entire tray full of joy).

a range of curries/meats/vegetables served on a fermented rice pancake.

yum.

there is a beautiful girl that sits in the "grass quad" that serves ethiopian coffee in cute espresso cups.

she is amazingly gorgeous in very poise. watching her serve coffee is like watching a ballet.

here is a link to their website, for directions and more info.

it truly is a beautiful experience.
