Seen in Asmara, Eritrea by Yvan Rodic

“Asmara 🇪🇷 met so many stylish gentlemen walking/riding the streets of Eritrea’s capital and sipping macchiatos at old-school Italian-style cafés. Loved enjoying some caffeine while having long talks with some of these men.

“I have been coming to Gianna’s café everyday for so many years. I love it so much because we are a strong community, once a year we are even having a feast together. I grew up in Ethiopian-ruled Eritrea and learned Amharic at school [while Tigrinya (the local main language) was banned].

In 1972, I got a scholarship to study in Maryland (USA). After a few years, I came back to fight for the independence of Eritrea. I didn’t tell my parents because I didn’t want to worry them. I fought for so many years and got so many wounds but it was all worth it so I could eventually live in a free country. My three kids live in Ethiopia and soon will emigrate to the USA.” Afork (photo 4)

flamingos flying over tanzania’s lake natron, a salt lake which is home to three quarters of the world’s three million lesser flamingos, as well as toxic multicoloured extremophile cyanobacteria that thrive in water so hypersaline it would strip away human skin. for the flamingos, however, the tough skin and scales on their legs prevents burning, leaving them uniquely free to drink from the near boiling freshwater found from springs and geysers at the lake’s edges.  (x, x, x, x, x)

A restaurant in New Delhi called Ardour offers this Thali. The plate is in the shape of the map of India and in each part of the map, the delicacy of that particular region is served. If you can complete it alone, then you don’t have to pay for it.
