This video is completely tasteless. You know, I never thought I’d ever use the cheese song “Push it to the Limit” in any of my videos… But I just did. At least this shows a better look at my trip to Ethiopia. For nicer more professional information, check out my earlier posts. Enjoy

    hehe 1.) i wonder how your tshirt stayed white at 4:20 2.) zzz, you got a black bar at 4:40f, why didn´t the black guys get a white bar:-) 3.) thanks for sharing - great video!

    Oh the black guys didn´t need a bar because you never see their dongs! There are no clips of their frontal nudity in the video, but I thought big black bars over two skinny white boys was pretty funny.

    Haven´t checked the vid yet, but just gotta say. Africa makes you grow up, mate, especially if you go rural. Us urban Africans often live like Westerners, but out in the sticks, it all comes back! Cape Town, South Africa

    Definitely the kind of trip that sticks with you for a lifetime. I honestly think it would have been a little tough for me to hold the goat while they killed it for your dinner. :)

    Hey Joey, Looks like you had a great time! I'm impressed that you managed to keep all of your stuff, I would've been worried that it would get nicked. Nice vid and even the cheesy filling worked pretty well.

    "Just another day of the office." Good philosophy. Videos are always just as good as, if not better than, pictures. Look forward to you traveling more and uploading videos!
  • March 07-2009, 02:31 pm
    It seemed to be quite an adventure, I really envy you ! Be able to travel in places like that ... I'm amazed by the pictures you took ... they have such a surreal and powerful look.

    Joey, that's really fascinating to watch, and I still need to go back and in peace go through all the photos. I want to add that I really appreciate the respect that you show these monks and everything, all too many photographers would just be too busy about their own conquest to remember where they are and who they are talking to – for example when you were speaking with the 101 year old monk. Really inspiring, I'll keep watching your works and will also write mo
