Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
America's new president is such a cause for celebration here in Ethiopia that the national airline has just announced a special airfare sale in honor of Barack Obama:
A free companion ticket when you buy a ticket to any of the 32 African cities to which Ethiopian Air flies.
But don't think by escaping to Africa you'll get away from the Obama-mania. It's just as frenetic over here.
