Welcome Aboard ክቡራን ደንበኞቻችን

Esteemed Customers,

et me first wish all my compatriots a happy and prosperous 2006 Ethiopian year! The New Year got off to a rousing start thanks to you, who gave us a resounding vote of confidence in September by selecting us as Best Airline in Africa at the Passenger Choice Awards. During the past year, we were also recipients of the Best Staff Service in Africa award by SKYTRAX — a global leader in airline service ranking — and the Airline Strategy Awards for Regional Leadership by Airline Business magazine. The 2005 Ethiopian year saw us attain many great heights. In line with the growth strategy outlined in our Vision 2025, we are meeting all of our objectives and closed the year with exceptional financial and operational performance. We added 14 new aircraft, including four 787 Dreamliners, showing once again that Africa is a global technology leader. We have installed a new Bombardier Q-400 simulator, which will enable us to train not only our pilots but also many young African brothers and sisters aspiring to become pilots. The commencement of direct services to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in July was a historical milestone, extending our network to all inhabited continents except Australia. We pledge to continue enhancing our uniquely Africanflavored Ethiopian hospitality and continue introducing modern aircraft to our fleet including the 777-300 ER (the largest aircraft in our fleet). We will offer the best possible connectivity to and from Africa with the opening of new stations such as Niamey, Tokyo and Singapore. And when we launch our equity partnership with Malawian Airlines, Lilongwe will become our Southern Africa regional hub and our third hub in Africa. We will give special focus to improving our services across the value chain for our premium cabin customers, as well as Sheba miles and Star Alliance Gold members. We will further expand the Cloud Nine lounge in our main hub at Addis Ababa airport. Internally, we have re-structured our organization to become the leading airline group in Africa, with seven strategic business units. We aim to fully tap into the market potential of all aviation-related services, such as training, aircraft maintenance services, catering and ground services. In short, the months ahead will be exciting, and you will see us achieve yet more milestones and enhance our products and services — all with the intention to give you the best possible travel experience. Thank you for choosing to fly with us today, and have a pleasant flight!

“This is strong confirmation that Ethiopian has become an airline of choice by millions of customers.”

BEST AIRLINE IN AFRICA

Ethiopian Airlines recently won the Passenger Choice Award for “Best Regional Airline in Africa.” The Passenger Choice awards, created by APEX, the U.S.based Airline Passenger Experience Association, gives a voice to airline passengers. “This is strong confirmation that Ethiopian has become an airline of choice by millions of customers,” said Ethiopian CEO Tewolde GebreMariam. “In our belief of continual improvement, we will expand our strong network of connectivity and enhance our awardwinning customer services, flavored by Ethiopian hospitality both on the ground and in the air. “The award is also recognition of and encouragement for all Ethiopian employees, who are working hard every day. I thank them and call upon them to continue giving their best in the service of our passengers.” Selamta, the in-flight magazine of Ethiopian Airlines, was also a finalist among the five best worldwide airline magazines at the 2013 Passenger Choice Awards.

NOTEWORTHY

In line with its Vision 2025 multiple-hub strategy, Ethiopian Cargo is pleased to announce the opening of a second cargo hub based in Lomé, Togo. In partnership with ASKY Airlines, the new cargo hub commenced operations in September after the phase-in of a B737-400F. This new cargo hub will transport goods and commodities between West Africa and the rest of the world, playing a critical role in trade growth and economic development.

Ethiopian Cargo is the largest cargo operator in Africa, serving 25 cargo destinations globally. Ethiopian Cargo recently received the “Long Time Partnership” award from Asia Freight Terminal in Hong Kong, in recognition of its reliable cargo service.

NEW ROUTE TO NIAMEY, NIGER

NEW Q-400 SIMULATOR In August 2013, Ethiopian Airlines installed a Q-400 simulator, which will be used to train pilots not only for Ethiopian but also for other African airlines. The Q-400 is an ideal aircraft for domestic and regional flights, with its speed closer to that of narrowbody jet airplanes and with reduced fuel consumption and emission. Ethiopian uses these 13 Q-400s for its extensive regional and domestic network. Ethiopian was also recently named an Authorized Service Facility to perform line and heavy maintenance on Q400 and Q400 NextGen turboprop aircraft.

As of November 2013, Ethiopian Airlines began service to Niamey, Niger, four times a week. Niamey, the largest city in the West African country, will be the airline’s 57th destination on the continent and 84th destination in the world. Ethiopian will also soon add Singapore as a destination.

AFRICA’S BUSINESS OF THE YEAR

OFFICIAL CARRIER

Ethiopian Airlines garnered global attention in September by being named African Business of the Year for 2013. The award commends Ethiopian’s business model for boosting the continent’s economy by creating new opportunities for its people. “We are honored to receive this award,” CEO Tewolde GebreMariam remarked. “Africa is on the rise, and we are growing together with the continent. With our extensive and fast-expanding network that now covers five continents, and our multiple-hub strategy in Africa that creates multiple gateways to the continent, we are serving as an essential vehicle for the flow of tourism and foreign investment.”

Ethiopian Airlines has been appointed official carrier of the 34th session of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States and also of the 26th joint parliamentarian summit for the ACP and the European Union, held in Addis Ababa in November 2013. Ethiopian is also the official carrier of the yearlong 50thanniversary celebrations of the OAU-AU. The ACP is composed of 79 African, Caribbean and Pacific states, of which 48 countries are from sub-Saharan Africa. ACP objectives include sustainable development of its member-states and their gradual integration into the global economy; consolidation of unity and solidarity among ACP states, as well as understanding among their peoples; and establishment and consolidation of peace and stability in a free and democratic society.

“Africa is on the rise, and we are growing together with the continent.”

If knowledge is power, foreknowledge can mean a world of difference when it comes to yearly harvests in the global agriculture market. A newly developed computer model aiming to predict climate-induced global crop failures showed promise in a recent study: Crop failures were reliably predicted in up to one-third of the global crop area. Wheat and rice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two critical food sources throughout the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yielded the most reliable predictions. Researchers suggest that the model could help import-reliant nations prepare and plan for market changes.

In a future-facing initiative, the Rockefeller Foundation is responding to Africa’s growing youth population — the continent’s future workforce — with a new initiative called Digital Jobs Africa. From its regional office in Nairobi, Kenya, the Foundation is making a US$100-million investment to provide young African job seekers with technical training for information technology jobs such as data entry, service-center support, online research and web design. In a rapidly growing digital market, the program aims to help 1 million people in Africa over the next seven years.

HOME SLEEK HOME APPLE IN THE EAST

In a step toward a future partnership, Apple CEO Tim Cook traveled to Beijing to meet with China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua. Despite being the world’s largest mobile carrier by subscribers, China Mobile remains the only Chinese carrier yet to adopt iPhones and iPads. Cooperation between the two giants would be a huge move, as 13 percent of Apple’s quarterly sales come from the Greater China market.

Though its contemporary designs are easy on the eyes, South African building company Zenkaya cares about more than just aesthetics. The company’s modular housing kits maximize efficiency and materials while minimizing waste, environmental impact and energy usage. Designed with sleek, modern lines meant to harmonize with surrounding landscapes, Zenkaya homes can be fully installed by the company or purchased in kits, with pre-engineered parts for do-it-yourself construction.

The genius of Uncharted Playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SOCCKET is simple: Store the kinetic energy from a soccer ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movement and convert it to usable power.

Events + Excursions

NOV. 20, 2013 - MARCH 2, 2014

THE GREAT UPHEAVAL: MODERN MASTERPIECES AT THE ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO Toronto, Canada

Event Highlights | Featuring pieces from the Guggenheim Collection, this exhibition offers a glimpse into Europe’s innovative art scene between 1910 and 1918 — years of social and technological changes surrounding the First World War. Follow the chronology of expressionism, futurism and cubism featured in the work of groundbreaking 20th-century artists such as Cezanne, Gauguin, Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse and Duchamp. While You’re There | Head over to Kensington Market and Spadina Avenue, described as the bohemian heart of Canada. With a wide variety of unique standalone shops (like Global Cheese), eateries and bars, there’s something for everyone. Take public transit, as the area’s popularity means minimal parking.

FRI

Great Eats | Close to the market, Kultura is an upscale global-fusion restaurant serving both regular and tapas portions. Come for dinner and stay for dessert — doughnut holes with Bailey’s Crème Anglaise, anyone? Locals’ Tip | On Friday nights (the typical “locals night out”), be sure to make restaurant reservations and consider taking a taxi or hopping on a Red Rocket, as Toronto’s streetcars are called.

JAN. 14, 2014

25TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL KITE FESTIVAL Event Highlights | This lively Indian kite festival is held each year on the same day, to coincide with the Hindu festival of Uttarayan (celebrating the start of the sun’s movement in the Northern Hemisphere). Locals and kite masters alike flood the Indian sky with thousands of brightly colored kites. For the competitive fliers, goodnatured kite-fighting (cutting the strings of others’ kites with your own) is always fair game. The displays continue after dark with illuminated box kites, called tukkals — their long lines strung with brightly lit lanterns reaching into the night sky.

Hotels + Hotspots

Take in the beauty of the African coast from one of these seaside gems.

ALMANARA DIANI BEACH RESORT, KENYA

THE RESIDENCE ZANZIBAR

At The Residence Zanzibar, nothing stands between you and the sea — other than your own private pool and a couple of swaying palm trees. Situated on the dream-like island of Zanzibar, the resort comprises a series of luxurious-yet-understated villas. The best part? These retreats have expansive sliding-glass doors that roll to the side, opening the space to the coast.

THE RHINO RESORT, SENEGAL

Check in at this contemporary hotspot and you won’t want to leave. With two swimming pools, a spa and beauty salon, fitness center, two restaurants and a bar, the resort is its own luxury haven within the seaside district of Saly. The critics also approve: The hotel swept five awards at the annual International Hotel Awards earlier this year. 20

The Power of Friendship

Discovering Ho Chi Minh City, stroke by stroke. STO RY A N D IL LU ST RAT IO NS BY CA N DAC E R OS E RA R DO N

selamtamagazine.com

“W

hat you doing, honey?” a woman named Chan asks me on a rainy Monday evening in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I am sitting on a low, plastic stool at the sidewalk restaurant run by her mother, with a bowl of steaming bún mám pork noodles tempting me away from the task at hand. I look up from my sketchbook to answer Chan, and my answer is this: I have come to sketch her city. Ho Chi Minh City — or Saigon (Sài Gòn), as the city was called before 1975 and is still popularly known — is my last stop on a three-week journey around Southeast Asia. The city was something of a mystery to me before I arrived. And that’s exactly why I decided to discover Saigon through the brushstrokes of my sketchbook. Ever since taking my first sketching trip to Porto, Portugal, some 2½ years ago, sketching has changed the way I travel. On one level, it has slowed me down. The images I want to capture with my camera often send me running in a million directions at once; but when my sketchbook is out, I spend at least two hours in the same place. I move less but pay more attention to a single scene. On a deeper level, and this proved to be true throughout Southeast Asia, sketching has become my way of engaging with a new city, the key I use to unlock my connection — a connection not only with the place itself but also, more importantly, with the people who call it home. I can’t imagine experiencing Saigon any other way.

Sketch #1 ON M Y F I R ST M O R NI NG, I’m on my way to sketch Notre Dame Cathedral when I pass through Tao Đàn Park,

a 10-hectare (25-acre) haven of green space in downtown Saigon. The first person I cross paths with is Lensu, a ponytailed guitarist who says he plays in the park every morning at 9 a.m. Much of his guitar is covered in jeweled pins and his fingers dance across the strings, spinning a beautiful classical melody. Within minutes, I’m putting off this morning’s intended destination. While sketching at the park’s Cafe Giai Khát instead, I look around. We all seem to have time to linger this morning: guitar students from nearby Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, businessmen with their newspapers, even young school kids coming in to purchase a yogurt. Saigon might be all motion and movement, but Tao Đàn Park is a place of stillness at its center. november/december 2013

Sketch #2 WH EN I FI N A LLY M A KE I T TO TH E CATHE D RA L , I’m just in time for that afternoon’s rain showers. The city hardly

seems to halt, however; motorcycle drivers pause only to pull out brightly colored ponchos, and I, too, find shelter for my next sketching session beneath the umbrellas of an outdoor café. From this vantage point, I take in the panorama of wide boulevards, leafy palm and dipterocarp trees, and colonial architecture. The twin bell towers of the red-brick basilica are striking, but the pink façade of the Central Post Office also catches my eye. Both were constructed in the late 19th century, when Vietnam was part of French Indochina. Although the French are long gone, the buildings they left behind make for an intriguing background against which modern Saigon is now juxtaposed. 26

Sketch #3 TO L EA RN W H AT I CA N of the city’s role in the Vietnam War, I head next to the Rex Hotel, which at the time served as a base for foreign journalists. In fact, the hotel’s rooftop garden played host to the American military’s daily press conference — or what infamously became known as the “Five O’Clock Follies.” While the view from the roof is impressive, I realize I want to sketch the building itself, so I settle into another rooftop restaurant opposite the hotel. My server, Phat, looks on as I begin. “You draw crossroads,” he says, noting the intersection in front of the Rex. Indeed, Phat couldn’t have chosen a more fitting word for Saigon as a whole, as it seeks to hold onto its vibrant traditions in the face of fast-paced modern development. The ground floor of the hotel is now home to luxury shops such as Chanel, Rolex and Salvatore Ferragamo; like so much else in the city, it has been transformed. 28

Sketch #4 several times before stopping to sketch it. What draws me to this after-hours version of the city’s largest market, dating to the 17th century, are two women vendors: one selling mangoes from a wire basket on the back of her bicycle, another grilling fried bananas on her mobile shoulder-pole stall. Each wears an iconic, conical leaf hat, or nón lá. As I’m working on my sketch from the sidewalk, two local college students walk up and introduce themselves as Hà and Nhan. Nhan tells me that Hà also uses watercolors, and soon I am invited to paint with him the next day. Although I’m hesitant at first — my time in the city is soon coming to an end — we ultimately agree to meet at the Saigon Zoo in the morning.

Sketch #5 AFT ER S KE TC H I N G TO G E T HE R the next morning, Hà and Nhan invite me to a coffee shop. At first, I envision one of the city’s many chain cafés, until they point their motorbike away from the heart of downtown Saigon. Once we reach our destination, I know I would never have found it on my own, and I can’t imagine my loss if I’d missed such a creative, funky space. Billowed fabric runs the length of the high ceilings, record players and old typewriters are standard décor, and a singer and her accompanist are practicing for their live piano performance that night. After we’ve ordered our iced coffees (cà phê đá), Nhan explains that the café’s name means “Open the door,” or literally “Open Sesame,” after the classic Arabian Nights story. I can only smile at the coincidence — and at how my two new friends have opened another door to Saigon for me today. 30

Sketch #6 with Hà and Nhan, what I’ll remember most is our morning sketching session in the Saigon Zoo — one of the oldest zoos in the world, first opened in 1869. Hà leads us past the elephants to a two-story yellow building. “We sketch here,” he says, and with that, we each get out our paints and set up shop. I watch the building come to life beneath Hà’s skilled hand and marvel at how differently we interpret the very same subject. “Yesterday, we consider not talking to you, because we have to go home,” Nhan tells me as we finish our sketches. “But if we not talk to you, we not have today.” It’s yet another reason I will leave here incredibly grateful — grateful for every person I met and every corner of Saigon I experienced, and grateful that my sketchbook could bring us all together.

Roots & Ritual Coffee

and culture in

Ethiopia.

Wild coffee berries are the main source of income in the Kaffa region, said to be the birthplace of coffee. Children and cattle also drink the brew here. 34

selamtamagazine.com

Entrenched in the forested flanks of Ethiopia’s Amaro Mountains, I sat down for a cup of coffee with a seventh-generation leader of the Messa tribe, Marsha Aday. We convened outside his regal earthen home, with a dizzying vista of wild coffee trees toppling over each other as they stretched to the summit of Mount Yero Wallo. § I was visiting Marsha Aday to hear his coffee story and the coffee stories of his ancestors. He wove a tale for me of cursed and burning red beans, of Muslim traders on camelback, and of the best coffee in Ethiopia. He told me there was more to tell, but in order for him to share his coffee story — and for me to truly understand — I would have to drink his coffee. & By Majka Burhardt • photos by Per-Anders Pettersson

We ducked inside the carved wooden doorframe of his home, where his wife, Gete, roasted, ground and began to brew two handfuls of beans from trees that you could almost reach from their doorstep. A sweet and spicy scent filled their home as the sky outside filled with clouds. My stomach rumbled in anticipation. But then, thunder and lightning crashed across Yero Wallo, and a flash flood turned me out of their house before I could ever sip a drop of the brew. Ethiopia is the birthplace of Coffea arabica — the species that represents 70 percent of the planet’s current coffee consumption.¹ Indeed, coffee appears in Ethiopian legend as far back as the 10th century B.C. Stories of its uses, symbolism and power overlap across this 1.1-million-square-kilometer (426,000-square-mile) country, providing a fabric of commonality and diversity. Across 90 languages, 200 dialects and 10,000 different coffee types, these coffee stories form a tantalizing roadmap for a lifetime of exploration. Step inside the journey.

deep in the south-central highlands of Ethiopia, near the border with Sudan. Around the world, the story of coffee’s discovery is tied to a young man named Khaldi (also known as Kaldi, or even Khaled). Depending on the teller, Khaldi was a goat-herder or a shepherd, a Muslim or a Christian, a scholar or a prankster, a delinquent or a monk. But he is always from Kaffa. And in every tale, Khaldi sees goats/sheep frolicking near a mysterious red fruit and is consumed by a desire to have as much fun as the animals. He investigates the fruit himself and, voilà, coffee is discovered. While it’s an easy semantic leap from Kaffa to coffee, the academically accepted root of coffee is actually an adaptation of the Arabic word qahwa, a wine made from the brew in the 17th century in Yemen. Coffea arabica was the name given in 1753, based on this association. But Khaldi is far from Ethiopia’s only coffee legend. In another, a particularly sweet-smelling ox was spotted eating similarly sweet-smelling, ripe coffee beans, or cherry, which inspired people to consume the same. And in yet another tale, dating to the 7th century, Prophet Muhammad’s grandsons were being bathed by their mother; once they were clean, coffee beans

Everyone in a coffee-farming family plays a role in the annual harvest, lasting from September through December. ¹ Coffea robusta (or Coffea canephora) accounts for the majority of the other 30 percent of coffee consumed worldwide. It’s generally grown at lower altitudes than Coffea arabica and is considered more bitter and a lower grade of coffee. Historically, robusta has been typically used as filler coffee, though the specialty coffee world has started to experiment with how to better use and cultivate robusta at a finer level.

Farmers harvest ripe coffee beans — called cherry — and dry them under the sun before dehulling and sorting.

sprouted from their bathwater. Those beans were used for prayers and began the Muslim tradition of using coffee beans in religious ceremonies. Individual children have even told me that their great-great-great-grandmothers discovered coffee. In Kaffa, the heartland of Ethiopian coffee diversity, all of these stories might well be true. Coffee trees and forests consume the landscape, and the scientists at Ethiopia’s primary Coffee Research Station in Kaffa’s capital, Jimma, will tell you that only half of Ethiopia’s 10,000 types have thus far been discovered. Each coffee type is morphologically different based on leaf color, productivity and other genetic signifiers. And each type — called an accession — has its own taste profile. Up to 5,000 accessions have been catalogued thus far. Ethiopians take coffee seriously — not surprising, considering that it accounts for more than 50 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.² But coffee is more than a commodity. It is a life currency. In Kaffa, people brew coffee in the traditional Ethiopian three-cup ceremony (see “The Coffee Ceremony” on page 38), serve the coffee cherry roasted whole and soaked in melted butter with honey, and use coffee grounds mixed with honey to

relieve an upset stomach. Here, and throughout Ethiopia, coffee trees can make or break a marital agreement, and they can soothe asthma, problem children or a distressed heart. In Kaffa, a stranger becomes a friend when you pause and ask her to tell you more about coffee. H ARAR: C O F F EE T O T H E W O RL D Kaffa might have coffee’s lineage and suppositional linguistic connection, but coffee moved into the rest of the world through Ethiopia’s eastern province of Hararge. There, the ancient city of Harar served as the trade hub between the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and the extensive Ethiopian heartland. This Muslim city propelled coffee along its historic course and into the greater world at the end of the 15th century. In Harar, as in Kaffa, coffee is called buna. In fact, throughout Ethiopia and the majority of Ethiopian languages, buna, bunn and bun are all used for coffee. This consistency has become the strongest piece of evidence for coffee’s origin in Ethiopia. When you travel today in Ethiopia, you are offered buna from every home and storefront, whether you be foreigner or friend. In Harar, you will easily find buna at restaurants and cafés, but in homes, buna is most often saved for november/december 2013

religious occasions, births and marriages. For daily consumption, it’s the leaves that are used. They are picked green, sun-dried and then flash-roasted before being stored. Later, they are brewed slowly with milk to make a tea called kuti kela (also known simply as kuti). This practice supports a ceremonial importance of the coffee bean as well as the economic practicality of devoting the majority of coffee to export. Historically, Harari homes devoted entire rooms to the storing of leaves for kuti kela. If you are lucky, you will find someone who still reserves space for this purpose, and you will definitely find kuti kela to drink. While trying the tea, go ahead and sample a traditional coffee with salt as well. The chocolaty flavors of coffees typical to Harar work surprisingly well with a salty tang.

cup until they are 22 years old, of marrying age. In the Marsha region, infants get squirts of awol in between suckling on their mother’s breasts. My personal rule is to never pass up a coffee ceremony in the Rift — let alone anywhere else in Ethiopia — and to in turn ask my host to indulge me with stories of what each cup means and creates in their family and community. COFFEE’S LANDSCAPE

The Rift Valley has been a mainstay for high-value Ethiopian coffee since the 1970s. The lemony essence of a Sidama and the sweet earth of a Yirgacheffe are found in coffee shops around the world, and the Rift has even more to offer in today’s new symphony of celebrated flavors: from jasmine to rose, lingonberry to strawberry, cashew to walnut, black pepper to ginger, and countless other cup attributes that awaken the senses. Abo Awajo, a distinguished elder in Kele, explains to me how the people of Kele believe that timing with a coffee ceremony can dictate fate: If an unexpected visitor arrives during the first cup, called awol, it is good luck; but second-cup arrivals are treated with suspicion. A third-cup arrival signifies peace. North of Kele, in the province of Sidama, children are gradually eased into drinking coffee, starting with the third cup. They do not progress to the first

The majority of Ethiopia is mountainous terrain above 600 meters (2,000 feet). And 50 percent of the country is moist evergreen forest situated between 1,000 and 2,300 meters in altitude, with dark, rich volcanic soil — making it the perfect place for coffee. Even where you don’t see coffee trees, the beverage is highly prized. In the Gheralta region of the northern province of Tigray, coffee is no longer grown, but it is ever consumed and treasured. If people are low on coffee beans, they will add barley pearls to make a brew. It’s coffee, I’ve been told again and again in Tigray, even if there is only one bean in the batch. In the Lower Omo Valley, the Dassanech people import trucks filled with coffee husks for a tea they brew. This beverage has been a Dassanech staple for generations, though by most accounts, coffee as an endemic crop has not been present in the Lower Omo Valley for centuries. You can travel throughout the entire country by way of coffee. Be prepared for everyone you meet to offer you “the best coffee in Ethiopia.” No matter if you are a visitor or a local, it’s an honor to try so many superlative brews and a further honor to hear the story behind each one. I’m going back to Marsha Aday. There is coffee still to drink and stories yet to hear.

THE COFFEE CEREMONY:

SLOWING DOWN TO ENJOY RELATIONSHIPS.

R I F T V A L L E Y: ET HI O PIA ’S COF F E E HEARTBEAT

In Ethiopia, people often drink their coffee in three stages, bringing the same portion of coffee grounds to a boil for each stage. They first enjoy a strong cup, known as abol or awol, followed by progressively weaker brews called tona (or tala or thani) and a final round, baraka. Enjoying coffee in this manner takes time (one to two hours) and creates a space for community and conviviality. The term coffee ceremony arose in the 19th century and is now used to distinguish the practice from just a fast cup at a café or restaurant. Coffee ceremonies can be performed on a packed dirt floor or in a formal dining room. Guests gather around for the whole process of hand roasting and grinding the beans and then setting them to boil in a thick-bellied/thin-necked clay pot called a jebena. The coffee is poured through the jebena’s thin spout high above handless ceramic cups arranged on a squat tray and doled out to those in attendance. Spices, butter, milk and/or tennadum (a sprig of rue) are added, depending on regional, tribal and personal preference. No matter where you are in Ethiopia, each successive cup creates a deepening of conversation and sharing.

Haile Michael Gaano shares a coffee ceremony with guests in his home.

BEYOND ETHIOPIA: THE WORLD’S LOVE AFFAIR WITH C OFFEE. Coffee is the world’s most shared connection with Ethiopia, with more than 1.2 billion cups of coffee consumed daily. Ironically, though all arabica coffee originally came from Ethiopia, the country’s annual coffee production in 2012 was only 6.5 million 60-kilogram bags — representing 4 percent of the world’s coffee production. The global leader, Brazil, produces 50.1 million bags a year, 70 percent of which is arabica coffee. Ethiopia will likely never compete with Brazil in volume, yet she holds realms of untapped quality within her borders. This is because, like wine and grapes, coffee has a flavor profile that can differ dramatically between bean varieties. And Ethiopia has more than 10,000 different types of coffee sprouting from her soil. (Brazil, by contrast, has just under two dozen primary arabica varieties.) Appreciation for the nuanced tastes of coffee is growing worldwide, and Ethiopia stands to gain from that appreciation. Furthermore, it’s estimated that only 50 percent of Ethiopian coffee leaves the country; thus, Ethiopia has potential to dramatically increase its export quantity and revenue. It’s unlikely, however, that Ethiopia would ever export 100 percent of its coffee, as chances are low that the 85 million people living within Ethiopia’s borders would ever give up their 35-century-old relationship with the bean.

he turquoise and dark-blue fresh water of Lake Malawi is literally clean enough to drink. Tucked into a calm lagoon close to the lake’s eastern shore lies Likoma Island, a small Malawian oasis just a stone’s throw from the Mozambique border.

Some 9,000 people live on Likoma and make their living fishing and farming. Life is slow here, the fish are plentiful and the sun is always shining. There are no paved roads, and the only cars are a hospital ambulance and an open-top Land Rover belonging to Kaya Mawa lodge. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful resort. Built over six years beginning in 1994, Kaya Mawa is both luxurious and simple, decorated with goods handmade by local women and designed to fit seamlessly into the environment. The 11 guest rooms feel like natural extensions of the rocky landscape, as if they are private caves waiting for guests to explore. But, unlike caves, they

are light and airy — making the inside feel almost as if it’s connected to the beauty outside, ensuring that guests never stop soaking up the island’s ecosystem. In the main dining area at Kaya Mawa, a dozen white linen seating options beckon visitors: couches that are almost like beds, hammocks swaying in the breeze, armchairs just asking for an afternoon nap — all with views of the lake. From here, village women can be seen walking about quietly in groups of two or three, occasionally gathering buckets of drinking water from the lake and carrying them away on their heads, children in tow. A family

In the guest rooms, gauzy raw-silk curtains blow in the breeze, limestone floors feel cool beneath the feet, and weathered wood furniture — often made from the hulls of fishing canoes no longer fit for the sea — looks rustically chic. In the rooms built for families, kid’s beds swing on hammocks. Every room also has a deck with lounge chairs and thick cushions, while private lake entryways invite guests to swim and explore. Many rooms have bathtubs for two built by local stonemasons, plus private outdoor swimming pools with panoramic views. One of the premium rooms, Makengulu, is even perched on its own private atoll. Guests cross a wooden bridge over pristine aqua water to find nothing but rocks, trees, birds and overflowing bougainvillea to welcome them.

Kaya Mawa tries to hire at least one person from each local family, so that everyone on the island of 9,000 benefits from the lodge.

november/december 2013

Helen Chinjoka, 25, serves coffee to guests at Kaya Mawa.

Everything at Kaya Mawa is sourced locally, from the fresh food served at lunch to the seashell lamps shimmering at night. In fact, almost all of the lodge’s décor is made by local women in a craft workshop run by Kaya Mawa.

A country not to be overlooked While the Seychelles Islands and the Maldives have long been thought of as prime African tourist destinations, Malawi is still off the tourist map. Only 5 percent of people who travel internationally make it to Africa, and the majority of those travelers go to Egypt or South Africa. “People don’t get that you can come and lie on a sandy beach right in the middle of Africa,” says James Lightfoot, owner of Kaya Mawa. For him, part of the challenge is getting people to realize how extraordinarily beautiful this spot is. For most travelers, Malawi is just another poor country, not all that different from its neighbors and with not much to offer tourists. But for those willing to make the journey, Kaya Mawa doesn’t disappoint. Lake Malawi is one of Africa’s biggest lakes, at nearly 30,000 square kilometers (11,580 square miles). The best way to reach the lodge is via an hour-long Cessna flight from Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe, piloted by Ulendo Airlink. Malawi is often called the Warm Heart of Africa, and Likoma Island ups the ante on that promise: Everything at the lodge is sourced from the village, but the ethos of the operation means that all is offered and given, rather than taken or procured. For example, many of the lodge’s planters and individual bed headboards are crafted from old fishing boats that are purchased from villagers when the vessels are no longer sea-worthy. The wood is weather-worn and beautiful — skillfully hand-carved, its holes carefully repaired with small iron patches. They are a chic

and symbolic addition to the rooms — connecting the guests to the island economy and traditional ways of fishing. And almost all of the lodge’s décor is made by local women in a craft workshop run by Lightfoot’s wife, Suzie. Twenty-seven women work there, weaving baskets, sewing linen pillowcases and bedspreads, painting clay beads and stringing seashells for lampshades. Each of the women generates much-needed income from items purchased by the lodge and its guests. After the local government, Kaya Mawa is the biggest employer on Likoma, with more than 90 staff members. The goal is to hire at least one person from each family so that everyone on the island benefits from the lodge. (See “Peter’s Story” on page 49.) If a staff member passes away or is no longer able to work, the lodge makes an effort to hire someone else from the same family. In turn, the community’s support of the lodge means that guests are welcome throughout the island, local farms offer affordable produce, and fishermen sell their catch of the day to provide fresh seafood dishes on the lodge menu each evening. To understand the relationship between Kaya Mawa and the people of Likoma, it helps to know that Malawi is one of the world’s least-developed countries. Despite huge influxes of money from nongovernmental organizations and donors, development remains elusive. The average annual income per person in Malawi is less than US$900, and most people make their living off the land. november/december 2013

Kaya Mawa staff set up for a “Swahili dinner,” a luxurious picnic on the lake shore.

For an outsider to come in and build on this beautiful spot, the people of the island must first accept and welcome their presence, and a partnership must be built. “If you go to a really beautiful lodge elsewhere in Africa, the staff often rotate in and out and aren’t necessarily from the area,” Lightfoot explains, “whereas all of our staff live with their families within walking distance of Kaya Mawa.” While other lodges might call themselves ecologically “green” because of their environmental practices, they are a far cry from what Kaya Mawa is attempting to achieve. “Ecotourism isn’t about how many solar panels you have or whether you compost,” Lightfoot adds. “It’s about the community.”

Far more than responsible tourism The term ecotourism was popularized in the early 1980s by a Mexican conservationist who defined it as “environmentally responsible travel” — meaning that such travel promotes conservation, actively benefits the local population and encourages low negative impact on the community. Kaya Mawa uses a combination of power sources, including solar panels for electricity and a diesel-powered generator when necessary. The lodge recycles everything — from old fishing boats to lake water, which is pumped into the swimming pools. Nothing is used in excess or 48

brought onto the island when it can be sourced locally. At Kaya Mawa, being “eco” is really just being logical. It makes sense for the partnership between the lodge and the island to extend to the environment. The island offers many resources, the lodge uses them respectfully and everyone benefits. In addition to stewarding the local environment, Kaya Mawa engages in numerous other projects. When Lightfoot starts naming some of them, the list sounds like a mishmash of disorganized activities, such as fixing the church bell and buying goats to launch a profitable goat farm. But there’s purpose in this chaos: Almost all of the small projects are community-driven, in that they are things the community has directly requested. When the community needed the church bell to be fixed, the lodge helped provide the funds. The goats didn’t work out so well, but that’s another story. Sometimes, being a good neighbor comes down to basic communication. Like when the lodge bought a couple of quad bikes for guests to take around the island. The first few takers were thrilled and soon started pedaling down the island’s dirt roads — through villages of mud-brick houses with zinc and thatch roofs, through cactus and baobab trees, and past fields of cassava and maize. The villager

who had his cassava plant run over, however, was less excited. “The first thing we did was apologize,” says Becky Harris, the lodge’s general manager. Since it was harvest season, Harris calculated the value of the staple crop, and then the lodge reimbursed the farmer. From then on, guests were more clearly instructed about the importance of staying on the main path and not off-roading. A small lodge like Kaya Mawa — compared to a charity with a mandate, donors, overhead and so on — can nimbly respond to community needs and take on a more individualized approach. On Likoma, most of the projects have grown organically over time. For example, Kaya Mawa never planned to help finance two schools. But over the past several years, the lodge contributed the funding to create two elementary schools that now educate more than 100 children. The lodge also established the charity Island Child, which allows visitors to continue their relationship with Likoma by sponsoring a child through his or her secondary education. More than 60 children are now sponsored. In the local Tonga dialect, Kaya Mawa means “maybe

{

tomorrow.” Building the lodge using only local goods and local labor took so long that, during the construction process, Kaya Mawa’s previous owners often repeated the phrase to answer questions about when the project would be finished or when the ferry would arrive. But it’s come to mean so much more. Maybe tomorrow, the government in Malawi will invest in small village outposts like those on Likoma Island. Maybe tomorrow, social entrepreneurship will take hold and economic growth will begin to raise the standard of living for everyday Malawians. Moving slowly to build the lodge ensured that everyone’s tomorrows would be better than their yesterdays. Kaya Mawa is committed to a partnership with the people of Likoma Island that will ensure many more tomorrows on this oasis.

Peter’s Story

Peter Kawando

For 12 years, Peter Kawando, 38, has worked at Kaya Mawa — first as a builder, then as a bartender and shopper, and now as Becky Harris’ managing counterpart. Peter’s father was a fisherman on Likoma, and his mother never attended school. Still, they managed to send their son to secondary school on the mainland. Now, he supports both of them — along with his three children, and his sister and her six children, and his other sister and her five children. All together, that’s 18 people who regularly depend on him. Peter’s house has a tin roof, and in the future he hopes to have electricity and a television. These goals, however, are modest; the real goal is for his three children to go to university on the mainland. A few years ago, when he first became a manager, Peter feared people’s responses. “If I tell someone to do something, maybe they’d say ‘No, you’re just a bar man!’” he admits. “But now they listen to me.” As the lodge has grown, so have Peter’s responsibilities, skills and the income he can provide his family. november/december 2013

The cliff is 250 kilometers (roughly 155 miles) south of Addis Ababa on the northern shore of Lake Awasa, on the rim of the Corbetti volcano crater. While Matt continues to drill, Juliet sits nearby, preparing equipment that she and the rest of the scientific team will set up here. Curious villagers have gathered around, and the audience grows as farmers below weave their way up to the activity, leaving their livestock and loaded donkeys to graze the dry vegetation. Tulu — the only member of this four-person research team who speaks the local Oromo language — listens intently as the villagers tell him about the area’s troop of inquisitive baboons, who present a new challenge to the team and possibly their equipment. This team of scientists from the U.K. and Ethiopia has just spent a week exploring every accessible outcropping of obsidian — a glass-like, volcanic rock — on two volcanoes located within the East African Rift: Alutu and Corbetti. The team is looking for sites to place ground-based GPS monitoring equipment that will measure movements in the Earth’s crust. For the last few years, Dr. Juliet Biggs, lecturer at the University of Bristol in England, has used satellites to study the

to increase the number of monitored volcanoes by improving global satellite monitoring. By comparing two images taken at different times, Juliet measures changes in distance between the Earth’s surface and the satellite over a grid of data points. She can then calculate and visualize how the land is deforming over time. Data collected from the equipment being installed on Alutu and Corbetti will help the scientists understand what’s causing the land to lift and subside. This information can then help the Ethiopian government to recognize the potential hazards associated with these volcanoes and plan accordingly. It will also inform industrial activity in the area, as deep drilling for geothermal energy production is expected to soon occur on both volcanoes. The data collected may not only help to target areas of high geothermal production but also provide insights into the potential effects of the drilling itself. Satellites are used to remotely monitor erupting volcanoes, but apart from work by researchers like Juliet, they are not being used to look for pre-eruptive activity. Radar satellites typically have a life span of only a few years, so relying on them for a global monitoring system is impractical. The European Space Agency, however, is set to launch Sentinel-1 later this year — a satellite that will collect data from around the globe every few days for the next 20 years. This long-term commitment could allow Juliet and others in her field to develop the use of satellite imagery as a global monitoring tool. In the meantime, the team has set up another GPS monitoring station. Nure, the local farmer who lives in the hut below, has agreed to watch the equipment for a fair fee. He and the other spectators have helped the team pile rocks over the equipment and surround it with a fence of thorny acacia branches. Whether this defense will prove stronger than the curiosity of the baboons, though, remains to be seen. —Nicola Temple is a freelance science writer based in Bristol, U.K. She joined Juliet and the other scientists on the volcanoes in Ethiopia in March, where she discovered a new enthusiasm for rocks (though the baboons were pretty cool too).

chain of nearly 100 volcanoes (including the famous Mount Kilimanjaro) that lies within the East African Rift Zone. She’s found that in both 2004 and 2008, the ground around Alutu and Corbetti lifted by as much as 15 centimeters (almost 6 inches) in a single year. “These deformations — inflating and deflating of the surface — are typically attributed to the movement of magma below the surface,” she says, “and can be interpreted as a sign of unrest.” Though there are no records of these two volcanoes erupting, large craters and thick deposits of ash are indicative of an explosive past. Thousands of people live right on these volcanoes, farming the flat, fertile land within the craters. Yet there is no permanent monitoring equipment in place on either to provide advanced warning of an eruption (Juliet and her team only have resources to keep their equipment here for a year or two at most). This is not uncommon. There are approximately 1,300 volcanoes worldwide that are known to have erupted over the last 10,000 years, but only 100 volcano observatories to engage in monitoring. Some of these use advanced technology to monitor multiple volcanoes, while others are manned by no more than a lone individual stationed in a remote hut. This leaves a large portion of the world’s volcanoes unwatched. Although a number of them may well be dormant, others like Alutu and Corbetti may be showing signs of activity. Without monitoring, the risks for many vulnerable and often remote communities are unknown. And an eruption affects more than those living on the volcano itself. For example, the 2010 eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull resulted in the evacuation of hundreds of nearby residents, but the ash cloud it produced also left millions of travelers stranded in Europe and cost airlines an estimated US$1.7 billion in revenue. The Icelandic Meteorological Office monitors Eyjafjallajökull and so was able to relay phone messages to the local residents, advising evacuation. However, in the case of unmonitored volcanoes worldwide, lack of advance warning might mean widespread devastation. Juliet and her colleagues are keen

Bringing Lebanon’s Breadbasket to Table Tawlet Ammiq restaurant connects Beirut’s rural farmers and urban diners. |

BY T I M F I T Z SI M O NS

estaurants across the globe try to bring the farm to the table, but there aren’t many places where you can gaze across your plate upon the farms themselves. Tawlet Ammiq — a restaurant in Lebanon’s fertile Bekaa Valley — is just a 90-minute drive from the bustle of Beirut, but it feels a world away. There, on a hill overlooking “Lebanon’s breadbasket,” a visitor can sip wine pressed from grapes grown one town over, munch on salads tossed with greens from the farms sprawling out below, and savor freekeh (an ancient grain) stewed with livestock that once grazed on the hills that cocoon the restaurant. At Tawlet Ammiq, the people, the food and the land that gave birth to them both are all within sight. On warm Saturdays and Sundays especially, Tawlet Ammiq is packed with Lebanese and foreign diners nibbling on such fine fare as roast trout, grilled cauliflower marinated in tahini sauce, artichoke hearts stuffed with lamb and pine nuts, eggplant drizzled with cilantro and lemon, and 58

After eating, guests are invited to lounge under umbrellas, on pillows and in lawn chairs, and gaze at the snowcapped Mount Hermon looming above Bekaa’s rolling fields. The story of Tawlet Ammiq is the story of founder Kamal Mouzawak’s efforts to bring together Beirut’s moneyed, urban consumers and the country’s patchwork of small farms. In 2003, Mouzawak founded Souk elTayeb (“delicious market”), the country’s

hood, Tawlet reintroduced the tabkha to the Lebanese dining scene and pulled back the curtain on traditional family cooking for its foreign visitors. But Tawlet’s next step — opening a branch in Lebanon’s poor and agricultural Bekaa Valley — was as much a product of serendipity as of planning. While Mouzawak contemplated an expansion, another organization was about to provide him with just the space needed. In early 2007, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation embarked on a project to build Lebanon’s most ecologically friendly model building in Ammiq, a small town in West Bekaa. When the building — a restaurant space — was completed, SADC sponsored a contest. Tawlet won, and so Mouzawak was handed the keys — free of charge — to Lebanon’s greenest building. In May 2012, Tawlet Ammiq opened its doors to its first customers. Blending the themes of ecological stewardship with the restaurant’s characteristic banquet-style dining, Tawlet Ammiq invites diners to contemplate where their food comes from and the ways in which de-

first farmer’s market. “It’s always been about connecting rural to urban,” he explains. Souk el-Tayeb’s quick rise to popularity led to the market’s expansion from simply selling organic vegetables, honey and spices to also hosting a series of regional food festivals. Mouzawak and his staff enticed food tourists to different corners of the country, to appreciate the grapevines of the north as well as the cherries and figs of Hammana and Kfour. The food festivals seemed to help Lebanese people reconnect with their food’s geographic heritage. Soon Mouzawak was asking himself, “Why can’t we benefit from it in a more regular way, and more easily?” So in 2009, Souk el-Tayeb launched a restaurant in Beirut called Tawlet, which means “kitchen table” in Arabic. At Tawlet, rotating cooks from surrounding villages and the countryside prepare regional home-cooked meals and serve them buffet-style, with diners sitting at both communal and smaller tables. Small-batch production Lebanese wines, preserves, olive oils, paper crafts and other products found in the weekly farmer’s market can all be purchased from the restaurant’s own boutiques. Though Lebanese food is revered worldwide, most diners will only ever taste “mezze” — the small, shared dishes such as hummus, baba ghannoush, tabbouleh and labneh that are shared and eaten with bread. These dishes dominate the menus of Lebanese restaurants in Beirut and around the world. But the cooking most Lebanese eat on the average weekday is a more informal and varied experience that centers around a tabkha, meaning a one-pot meal.

Atop its insulating green roof, solar panels generate electricity and heat water, and a breeze-powered ventilation system utilizes lower temperatures underground to cool the building without the use of air conditioners. Sandwiched between the Shouf Biosphere Reserve and the Ammiq Wetlands Reserve, Tawlet Ammiq also has the rare honor of being surrounded by protected wilderness. Migrating birds traveling between Africa and Asia stop in the area’s swamps and ponds to relax and rehydrate, and the country’s famed cedars dot the hills above the compound. Diners can even arrange, through Tawlet Ammiq, a pre-meal mountain hike or an evening’s guided bird-watching expedition. And with the restaurant’s recent addition of a three-bedroom guesthouse, adventure foodies will find a trip to Tawlet Ammiq not only delicious but also convenient and comfortable — perfect for exploring the tastes of the Levant. —Tim Fitzsimons is a Beirut-based radio and print journalist.

Frankfurt am Main City cred, village charm. |

selamtamagazine.com

nce the seat of medieval German kings and Roman emperors, Frankfurt is now home to Europe’s Central Bank — the continent’s largest financial center. Yet, in spite of its gilded past and present prominence, the city is refreshingly free of the painfully hip superiority complex associated with Western Europe’s more celebrated metropolises. Rather, Frankfurt am Main (translation: Frankfurt on the Main, referring to the Main River that runs through the city) takes greatest pride in its agrarian leanings, brewing culture and hometown hero: 18th-century writer and philosopher Johann Wolfgang Goethe. In your 24 hours navigating this imperial city’s straßen (streets), you’ll undoubtedly come across some homage to Goethe, an open-air market of fresh food and — if you so choose — a refreshing glass of bubbly beer or wine. 9:15 a.m. Plot your day at 01 Café Karin while enjoying the brotkorb (“breadbasket”) with a choice of Camembert, Gouda, or jam and butter (€7,50, or about US$10). Situated in the center of Frankfurt, the café is a short stride from the luxe designer boutiques on Goethestraße as well as Museumsufer — the city’s row of a dozen

museums — and just opposite the houseturned-museum where Goethe was born. 10:00 a.m. After breakfast, choose from Museumsufer’s lineup of galleries, including ones devoted to fine art, ethnology, furniture and film. Most notable is the nearly 200-year-old 02 Städel Museum, home to centuries’–old works by Gaugin, Rembrandt and the anonymous 15th-century “Master of Frankfurt,” as well as contemporary pieces by Pollock and Warhol. Admission is €12 (€14 on weekends/holidays). Antique hounds shouldn’t miss 03 Goethe Haus. The building’s parlorsized rooms feature stunning period pieces, including the puppet theater Goethe used as a child, a pyramid-shaped piano and furnaces hand-painted like fine china. Admission is €7. 12:00 p.m. From the museum, walk 15 minutes to 04 Römerplatz, where a group of gingerbread-house-like buildings forms a tourist square. (Make sure to take the route that passes through Mainkai Street, so you can cross the famous Eisner Steg pedestrian bridge. An infinite number of padlocks hang upon its trusses, engraved with the names of lovers.) The surrounding buildings, which were restored after World War II, provide the perfect backdrop for the requisite photo-op. 12:30 p.m. Next, sample some of the city’s best street food at one of the popular outdoor food markets, where you’ll find wursts (sausages) smoking on massive grills, sandwiches and more. Depending on the day of the week — the markets have a rotating schedule — you can walk 10-15 minutes to 05 Konstablerwache (open Thursdays and Saturdays) or 06 Schillerstraße (Fridays). If you’re in town on an off day, stay in the square and enjoy a traditional German lunch at 07 Zum Schwarzer Stern. Chef Jürgen Laschewski serves a seasonal menu

that includes prime boiled beef served with cold herb sauce. Lunch here runs anywhere from €10 to €50. 2:00 p.m. After lunch, catch the U-Bahn (subway) to 08 Leipziger Straße in Bockenheim. You’ll find an eclectic mix of shops in this humming student center near Goethe University, including emerging designer boutiques, independent bookstores and pubs. Make sure to check out Hinterhaus 37, a chic little shop in a backyard setting that stocks upstart designer labels and refreshes customers with steaming shots of Espresso. 4:00 p.m. Head to the pub-lined cobblestone streets of 09 Old Sachsenhausen to take your place among lovers of apfelwein (a popular apple wine). In September, the rare federweißer wine (translated “feather white” for its cloudy color) is often enjoyed with the German onion cake Zwiebelkuchen. 6:00 p.m. Return to the city center for dinner (and perhaps an overnight stay) at the 10 Gerbermühle Hotel. This 4-star hotel right on the Main River famously occupies the site of a 14th–century

tannery and mill and is allegedly where Goethe met his married lover for trysts. A three-course meal in the hotel’s restaurant starts at €25. Try one of the traditional favorites on the menu, such as Himmel und Erde (“Heaven and Earth”): a plate of mashed potatoes and fried blood sausage with stewed apples and frankfurters. 8:30 p.m. Before retiring at the Gerbermühle (room rates range from €101 to €160), stop for a drink in the hotel’s Tower Bar. The bar, decorated with horn chandeliers and dark leather armchairs, retains remnants of the original mill upon which it was built. Reserve in advance — the Gerbermühle has only 13 rooms and six suites. If it’s booked, try the 4-star Mercure Hotel Kaiserhof, a 10-minute taxi ride away, where rooms start at €62. After a full day surveying the city’s coolest quarters, and now full from a satisfying meal and perhaps a little apfelwein, there’s no doubt you’ll have a gute nacht’s sleep. november/december 2013

isitors to Beijing can soak up one historic splendor after another in this, one of the world’s oldest capital cities. Though 80-90 percent of the original city and its walls have been razed in a frenzy of modernization over the years, hundreds of years of history are still available. Perhaps the best way to appreciate them is via a rickshaw tour through the hutongs — the ancient lanes inside the original city walls. Roll through ancient neighborhoods on the back of a bikepedaled rickshaw, moving slowly enough to see locals gathering at tables for a game of mahjong. Hear the clack of the tiles amid the gossip, often enlivened by the chirping of crickets or songs from birds in hanging cages. Smell the rich aromas of history, along with noodles and dumplings steaming in open kitchens behind courtyard walls. Sadly, these atmospheric neighborhoods are disappearing. Back in 1949, Beijing still had 7,000 hutongs to explore. But by 2005, only 1,300 existed*, notes Michael Myer, author of

The Last Days of Old Beijing. Myer spent a year immersed in the old city, detailing the charms of the distinctive stone blocks and traditional life that flourished in the hutongs. “These neighborhoods are the heart of Beijing,” he says. Rickshaw tours regularly roll around Houhai Lake, a top tourist area that claims many of the remaining hutongs slated for protection. Yet close by, and overlooked by many guidebooks, is Nanluoguxiang — Beijing’s oldest hutong and also its hippest. Rickshaws aren’t allowed here. As one of the rare pedestrian-only streets in Beijing, it’s a perfect place to stroll on your own, among a cornucopia of boutiques, bistros, teahouses and pubs, all housed in a diverse collection of stone

colorful nicknames like Centipede Lane and Fishbone Street, and you’ll spy an array of old theaters intermixed with quaint new hotels. Other open doorways reveal courtyards shared by multiple families, where adults chop wood and cook meals while children do homework, skip rope or practice calligraphy. In recent years, Nanluoguxiang has become crowded, and many complain about its commercialization. Yet this charming street remains true to its historic role, counters Eric Abrahamsen, author of Beijing by Foot. “During the Yuan dynasty,” Abrahamsen says, “Nanluoguxiang became the site of teahouses, in particular, as well as shops selling luxury goods from southern China. So, amusingly, it probably had a fairly similar character during the Yuan dynasty as it does today.” Indeed, Nanluoguxiang is one of China’s preservation success stories. In 2009, Time magazine listed a visit to the area on its top “25 Authentic Asian Experiences.” Kicking off Nanluoguxiang’s transformation 13 years ago was Pass By Bar. Owners Xiao Bin and Hai Yan had met in Inner Mongolia and discovered a mutual love of travel in the most remote regions of China. Initially they opened a tiny pub to share pictures with friends and other travelers, Yan explains, “so they could have a place to pass by and have a drink.” That bar with just six tables has since spawned a restaurant, souvenir shop and food stand, offering snacks like sausage skewers with peach jalapeno salsa and

storefronts. Nanluoguxiang is also one of the best places in Beijing to discover unique locally designed goods: clothing, crafts and ceramics. Local artists revived this area over the last decade when they began renovating some of the old, run-down shops, opening small boutiques to display their own goods. As the street scene blossomed, more restaurants and pubs sprang up, and the buzz spread about this chic new district in the center of the old city. The pedestrian neighborhood claims eight centuries of spirited history, dating to the Yuan dynasty of the late 13th century, when a grandson of Genghis Khan made Beijing the capital of China. Back then, this hutong was home to minstrels, artists, poets and puppeteers who entertained the local gentry. Detour down any of the symmetrical side alleys that provide the street with

lamb kebabs sprinkled with aromatic cumin. Tangy treats are found up and down this colorful street. Locals swarm here just for the fried bread and famous homemade yogurt. While the layout hasn’t changed that much in centuries, the look and feel of the lane have received a much-needed sprucing up in recent years. “The magic of Nanluoguxiang is that it grew organically in this lovely old neighborhood, with this wonderful artistic spirit,” says Dominic Johnson-Hill, a local shop owner who often serves as spokesman for the district. “But what is truly special is that it’s still full of living history,” he adds. “If you visit early, before the shops open, you still see the local people out, exercising, sitting on stools and gossiping. This is like a cultural museum of Old Beijing, with some added creativity.” So when you visit Beijing, be creative. Abandon the rickshaw and explore on your own. One of the joys of Nanluoguxiang is to get lost in the alleys and discover a delightful potpourri of Old Beijing. *The Beijing Cultural Heritage Protection Center, which fights to preserve old Beijing, projects that about 20 percent of the ancient hutongs will be protected.

Sustainable Zanzibar BY R ACH E L MACN E I L L

Zanzibar, the infamous archipelago off the Tanzanian coast, is a picture of luxury for international travelers who come to bask under the African sun. Yet not all of Zanzibar’s own residents are benefiting from the past decade’s explosive development in tourism. Sometimes just a stone’s throw from posh resorts are people living in poverty, with few opportunities to capitalize on the economic benefits. 64

selamtamagazine.com

This is a common refrain in tourism destinations around the world. Businesses move in, encouraged by governments that crave foreign investment, and those businesses use local resources to sustain themselves. Too often, the economic benefits don’t trickle down to the local community. But in Zanzibar, one school for disadvantaged youth is bucking the system, using entrepreneurship to get involved in the tourism industry. Just outside urban Zanzibar Town stands a small concrete school with a sprawling garden. This is the Prospective Learning and Charitable Institution, and its garden is the jewel of the school’s environmental club and a symbol of empowerment. Club members sell their vegetables at the local market and, more recently, to select resorts and hotels. Proceeds help the charity school educate disadvantaged students from rural Zanzibar, making them more employable. PLCI’s visionary founder, 25-year-old Shafii “Gasica” Haji, hatched his idea for the school when he was only 17. PLCI offers the usual classes in English, science and math, as well as German and Spanish. Haji plans to add other language courses in the future, to better help his students get jobs in the tourism industry. Of the school’s 237 students, those who are able will pay tuition, which helps provide subsidies for others. Homeless students are even permitted to sleep at the school. Haji’s overall goal is that PLCI becomes a self-financing institution, and he’s making headway on that goal with the help of an organization called Sustainable East Africa — a locally supported initiative dedicated to finding solutions to Zanzibar’s social and ecological challenges. All of SEA’s programs are grassroots and locally driven, with little reliance on donor support.

In the case of PLCI, students proudly sell the work of their hands, the school is able to educate more students toward future careers, and local establishments are able to serve fresh organic herbs and vegetables and attract more tourists. Getting the product to the table is the hard part, according to Nell Hamilton, the one-woman force behind SEA. Once the product is there, the tourism industry and tourist response is largely positive. Haji says that creating personal connections has made the difference. PLCI invited hotels to a graduation ceremony and sent them home with a gift of basil and an explanation of what the school was trying to do. After seeing the school’s work and trying the product, several hotels contacted PLCI directly. According to Hamilton, the more the Zanzibari tourism industry supports local initiatives like PLCI, the closer it gets to ensuring that the local community shares its success. “There’s a huge demand from tourists,” she says. “As clients, they’re the ones that drive [the industry].” “At the basic level, sustainable tourism is about creating better places for local people,” says Heidi van der Watt, board member for the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. While the terms ecotourism, responsible tourism and sustainable tourism are often used interchangeably, the latter is the preferred term — holistically including benefits to local communities, economies and environments. Interest in sustainable tourism is growing, and all aspects of the industry are in the nascent stages, including legislation and even product labeling. GSTC is working to create consistent standards of sustainability on a global scale. In Tanzania, the group Responsible Tourism Tanzania is creating guidelines for sustainable tourism practices, establishing a legal framework and compiling a list of best practices, along with a voluntary accreditation program

“At the basic level, sustainable tourism is about creating better places for local people.”

— all of which will allow hotels to be evaluated for sustainability. As is common in tourist destinations, most local communities rarely see more than a fraction of tourist dollars spent in their backyards, according to Hamilton. By buying from the environmental club, Zanzibari hotels are proving that tourism can have a positive impact on their surrounding communities, both environmentally and socially. “It’s transforming the outlook of the students,” Hamilton adds. “Not only is it the first time they’ve earned money from their hard work, but it enables them to envision a future in which their ability to improve their lives is in their own hands.”

making strides toward regulating tourism sustainability. For more information, visit: EcoTourism Society of Kenya (www.ecotourismkenya.

Questions to ask as you travel. Unfortunately, some hotels take part in “greenwashing,” which means using the eco- and sustainable terminology without walking the talk. According to Nell Hamilton, founder of Sustainable East Africa, the key to discovering if your hotel is actually sustainable is to simply ask questions. Consider asking:

org), South Africa National Department of Tourism (www.tourism.gov.za) and Responsible Tourism Tanzania (www.rttz.org).

What percentage of the food comes from local suppliers or the local market? How is the fish caught? How do you reduce or recycle the hotel’s waste? For more information, visit the Global Sustainable Tourism Council’s consumer tips for responsible travel at selamta.co/gstc.

Take 5

Palaces Around the Globe BY CAN DACE ROSE R AR D O N

Every journey deserves to include a bit of regal flair. Live like a king (or queen) on your next trip with a visit to one of these royal residences around the world, each renowned for its history and splendor.

GRAND PALACE BANGKOK, THAILAND

THE FORBIDDEN CITY — BEIJING, CHINA Don’t let its name deter you — Beijing’s Forbidden City is anything but off-limits to those wanting to step a few centuries back in time in China. Completed in 1420, this extraordinary complex of 980 wooden buildings served as the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) to the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911).

DROTTNINGHOLM PALACE STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

Although the Swedish royal family has called this elegant 17thcentury palace home since 1981, visitors can still enjoy much of its lush grounds and ornate buildings — located just a short drive from central Stockholm. Stroll along the Versailles-inspired avenues of the Baroque garden or take a guided tour of the Chinese Pavilion (included in your entry fee). 66

selamtamagazine.com

FASILADAS PALACE | GONDAR, ETHIOPIA

Venture 450 miles north of Addis Ababa to the commanding stone castle of 17th-century emperor Fasiladas, restored by UNESCO and declared a World Heritage site in 1979. It’s little wonder the city of Gondar has been called “The Camelot of Africa” — and you, too, could soon be holding court on top of the palace’s parapet and 32-meter-high (105-foot-high) watchtower.

ABDEEN PALACE | CAIRO, EGYPT

See beyond the pyramids and bustling bazaars to a different side of Cairo inside this quiet, elegant residence, on which construction began in 1863. While not all of its 500 gilded rooms are open to the public, a ground-floor museum houses silver (including the royal family’s silverware), key historical documents, and a vast collection of both ancient and modern weaponry.

It’s hard to miss the glimmering golden spires of Bangkok’s iconic Grand Palace. Arrive by water taxi (the palace isn’t located along the city’s Skytrain or MRT systems but is situated just steps from the Chao Phraya River) and explore the official residence of the Thai king since 1782. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, considered the most sacred temple in Thailand, is especially worth a visit.
