South Ethiopia: The Hamer Jumping of the Bulls Ceremony Part II

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
Every time I heard the crack of a whip coming down on a woman, I cringed. And then, they walked around bleeding as if it was nothing. ( It probably helped that they were completely drunk but still....)

By the way, the bull "jumpee" must accomplish his task naked. ex-Marine (husband, Steve) was obsessing over..."what if a horn caught his testicles..." A painful thought. The Hamer man must make three complete jumps and the tribe kept removing bulls to make each pass a little easier. This ceremony was certainly something that I'll never see again in my lifetime...."unique" isn't adequate to describe it.

I counted 34 videos from Ethiopia this individual has posted. I'm not sure if there is any merit to your point since you did such a bad job making it.

Here's a list of things to improve on in the future, axum3000: fact-checking, capitalization, punctuation, vocabulary.
