"Pounding women" Arba Minch' Local Custom Tip by sachara

Like everywhere in Africa, you see also in Ethiopia women pounding grain, plantain or cassave.

At the restaurant of our campsite annex hotel in Arba Minch we saw this woman pounding.
It was very special, because I didn't expect, because all the food you could order was western style.

She asked us to try it. It's not an easy job, I knew allready. I like the way how they do it, especially with two together, in a very fast and energetic rhythm.
