Jimma Itself

---

The city’s landscape can change pretty quickly. All of the streets are fairly dusty. Some of the streets have store fronts on the road, others have ditches that fill up with water. You need to walk over five foot-long make shift wooden bridges to get to the store fronts. There is corrugated aluminum siding along most of the roads. There are sections of the aluminum that actually serve as doors to people’s houses. You move them away and before you is a small courtyard that usually has a small vegetable, fruit, and coffee garden and a modest home. It is sort of like the Labyrinth starring Jennifer Connely and David Bowie, where the worm shows Jennifer how to actually get into the Labyrinth.
