Gonder Local Custom Tips by SirRichard Top 5 Page for this destination

Wash your hands before lunch

As eating with your fingers is the local custom in all Ethiopia, washing your hand before is a real must. All restaurants have a fountain/tap outside so you can wash your hands before/after lunch.

Table football

This is one of the few "western" games I saw children play here. It seemed to be very popular and tables were always in the streets, outside bars and cafes.

Eating corn

If you arrive by bus, you will have the chance to see these girls selling corn at the stops. Many people buy it to have some pastime during the bus ride. It's a kind of roasted corn, hard.
