Millennium all over again

Jump to Comments

Ethiopia uses a different calendar than the Western world, since it recognizes a different year for the birth of Jesus.  As a result, tomorrow (9/11) is last day of 1999.  The government of Ethiopia is organizing a major festival to celebrate the millennium.
