Omo Valley Travel
It appears that you had great travels through the Omo Valley. The people there in my opinion are some of the most unique in the world. I fear though that the construction of the Gibe III Hydroelectric dam will destroy their lifestyle and the valley as a whole.

a thousand thanks
Loved reading your blog. I'm working on a culinary textbook and your views helped me to tweak my piece on Ethiopia. Despite your dislike of Ethiopian food in Ethiopia, there are many fine restaurants abroad. Hope you try one!

I'm currently reading a book called Roots of Outrage that Sean's Mum sent us. It's about South Africa, mostly set during apartheid and it's so interesting to learn what went on then! It's really cool to read that you're visiting these places. I can't wait to go myself one day.

Hey guys, hope you are well. We don't know much about the lip plates except that the slice the lower lip and slowly increase the size of the plate to stretch the lips. They are mainly used for special occassions. Unfortunately the Mursi were not that interested in explaining much!! Looking forward to catching up with you guys hopefully later in the year xx Love Birgs and Matt

Lip plates
Hey Matt and Birgit, amazing adventure you are having, and a great blog to follow. Quick Q, why do they have the lip plates? Decorative? functional? how long does it take them to grow their lips like that. Really keen to know a little more. Scott and Steph

World Cup?
Hi Matt/Birgit, What adventures you two are having ! I thought you may be in South Africa at the moment, catching a bit of the World Cup - the Kiwis are doing better than the Aussies ... sigh. Just thought I'd say hello. Been back at work nearly two months (like I never left the place). Keep having fun. Cheers, Mark (from the Tucan trip)

Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

Wow, cool, congratulations
Wow, the ring is beautiful. So happy for you both, and what a lovely proposal story to tell your kids one day :-) The Mosaics look like paintings... I can really see what you mean Birgit that the tiles must have been really small!! The sacophagus looks incredible, and the discus thrower is one of my favourite statues - now I know where to find it!! :) So stoked for you both. Enjoy your time through Africa together.
