There were 5 of us at the coffee ceremony today: me, my coworker M, the day manager, the gatekeeper, and the housekeeper who was preparing the coffee/boonah. It was about 4:30pm and we were all sitting on the first floor balcony in the pre-dusk light. M brought out his camera and began to take a few pictures. The housekeeper and manager posed very patiently as M snapped dozens of shots, until the gatekeeper tapped him and sat back in a pose himself.
The gatekeeper told us today his name is Maliseh, although everyone calls him Ato Maliseh. Ato means "mister", while wayzero means "missus" and wayzerits means "miss" (again, I have no idea how you would actually spell these words).
After a few group shots, I took some pictures with M's camera of him with the staff too. Then we all sat back and snacked on popcorn and sipped boonah until the sun set.
