Genna is a field hockey sport played in Ethiopia, with which the Ethiopian Christmas festival of genna shares its name. Players use carved wooden sticks to strike a wooden ball in an effort to pass it through the opponents’ goal at the end of the pitch. It’s played on an expansive field without borders, and sometimes grazing cattle even interfere with the game.

Legend says that it was Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder who first discovered coffee. His goats, it seems, were displaying extra energy during the day and refusing to sleep at night. Kaldi noticed this behaviour would occur after his goats had eaten berries from a specific tree. And being the good goat herder that he was, he reported the discovery to the abbot of the local monastery, who made a drink with the berries, which kept him alert during the long hours of evening prayer.
