Can I just be like “I want to go to Eritrea” and that be my passion blog?

…no? ok it was worth a shot. SO I WANT TO GO TO ERITREA GUYS 🙂

I have always been familiar with Eritrea since i’ve got a friend who’s from this country. My friends name is Eden, and I’ve been going to school with this lovely Eritrean lady since 5th grade. She is ALWAYS representing her beautiful country and showing that she’s proud of where her family is from. Every time we’d have a culture/heritage thing at school she’d wear the eritrean style clothing and bring eritrean food and let us listen to eritrean music…and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it all. I enjoyed it so much that she actually made me want to visit the place myself! To be honest i’m not sure what Eritrea has to offer tourist-wise- but seeing pictures Eden took herself and hearing stories about the place and it’s generous people just made me want to visit just because. I wouldn’t go as a tourist, i’d go simply as a person wanting to learn about and enjoy an entirely different culture 🙂

 

P.S. the fondest memories I have of Eden are when she would curse EVERYONE out in Eritrean! We would be in class (in high school) and she’d literally start yelling some nonsense in Eritrean because someone made a joke about her devoted love for her country. It was all in good fun and she always had the entire class, even the teachers, laughing. These are the funny moments I think of every time I see her around campus (she came here with me, &  literally lives 2 floors below me).

P.S.S. That totally had nothing to do with my passion blog and maybe this post is more about Eden than Eritrea, but in my mind they are one in the same! 😀
