ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) — Ethiopia, with its own calendar, will be starting its New Year 2010, on Monday, and citizens are busy preparing for celebrations. The girls, who are dressed and adorned well, go from house to house and play the song with hand-drum. The coffee ceremony, though it is held at ordinary times at household level, is now conducted differently and colorfully. At a chicken market, Mezgebu Mamo, a man who was selling live chicken, told Xinhua that he was selling hens with big discount. It is a custom here in Ethiopia that people slaughter sheep, goats, and oxen at household level.
