This is what was brought to our senses just after being caught in Caïro and just before our lock-up in Luxor.

Great pictures as usual and your integration with the people is lovely to see. I wondered how you found walking barefoot on that terrain as it looks like it could be painful. Thanks for sharing such an interesting experience

Hello Marisa, for our "civilized western" way of life it is incredible to live like that. Some people would describe this life as wildly romantic and transcend it. But whoever is involved in this life for several months and also in bad times knows that life in these cultures is hard and deprived. We call some of their rites and cultural characteristics hard and inhuman and believe in our cultural superiority. This is even supported by some locals who have come to know our culture. These cultures, however, are enjoying things that we pass by carelessly. Family cohesion is stronger than with us. These people too would enjoy our "achievements". And spoil. Like some of us. They would break their cultural rule and seek their personal liberties. As is so typical of us. They would lose the cohesion of the family and that of the population or tribe. Or whatever you might call these destinies. However, despite all the improvements the result is for interpersonal relationships to conclude negative to catastrophic. For these "primitive" cultural achievements have ensured their survival in the past. Something that our current culture would not create in their living conditions. I got to know cultures that were brought to our "level". It was always bad. I am glad for you that you could share the life with them for a short time. You took strong impressions. But remember, it was only a brief moment to return with certainty. I like your texts and photos. Very nice also without you on it. ;-) Your integration is Beautiful.

Prachtig gedaan. Jij weet natuurlijke schoonheid en cultuur letterlijk met een stipnotering in de verf te zetten. Jij toont ons niet alleen de basis waar het leven echt om draait, waar velen zelfs niet meer aan kunnen denken maar ook wederzijds respect en integratie. Zeer mooie foto's.

Je ziet er (zoals steeds) geweldig uit op de foto's, maar op een vreemde manier zien die stamleden er zo mogelijk nog indrukwekkender uit...

Amazing! I wish I could live a similar experience. Do you mind sharing me the name of your guide? I was it expensive?

I'm an Ethiopian who live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As an Ethiopian and a former tour operator in the area, I know Omo Valley very well. If you want to visit the area, I can recommend you some reliable tour companies. I don't think it is that expensive.

18 years ago, my fiancé invited me to visit her grandparents village. Her father was from the Omo region, a Hamer. During the time there, I recovered my inner peace. They might not be literate, or civilized the western way. Some of their customs might be extreme in our eyes. But they have ethics they live instead of paying lip service only.

Just Wow! After that quite bitter experience in Egypt, this should have been very freeing! You are a very talented, smart and lucky woman.
