Mursi’s main food is a dry cereal prepared from ground maize or sorghum. Sometimes they add milk and animal blood, taken fresh directly from the wound on the neck of the cow
Mursi women are known for the huge ceramic plates that are inserted into their lower lips.
Piercing of the lower lip is performed on young girls who have reached the age of 12-13 y.o. Initially, a small wooden disk is inserted into the lip. Then its size is gradually increased, stretching the woman’s lip

Travel helps me to get to know the world in such a way that cannot be learned at school or in front of the TV. By traveling, I learn that no matter where I am people are people striving for the same things in life.. We may have different religions, languages, colored skins, but we all belong to one human race.
