Go back breh, Eritrea a little more dangerous but Ethiopia wasn't all that safe. They just give any ole ignorant fukk a badge and a chopper and some of them hate Diaspora nikkaz or particular tribes. But I went when I was 8, so going again when your grown makes a difference. I'm really wondering why us black folks don't visit Africa as much, better experience than any of my trips on this side of the globe.

Because its expensive. The most a lot of people can afford to do is take a cruise to the Caribbean.

:rudy:
You can vacation in just about anywhere in Africa for 2 weeks for 2200 or less(private room hostel; plane ride, food, spending money included).
Trim down on dumb expenses(clubbing, hair, clothes, games/movies,eating out, etc) and stack up 100/month for two years.

Plus we have a trillion buying power, we can do it, we just need to start being anti-consumerists.

But w/ the said, OP you got any pics of Ethiopia? I heard it's dope and they got castles.

2200? Man people going on week long cruises to the Caribbean for 200. Negroes arent booking a trip anywhere for that type of money. Im not even talking about going overseas, i mean even here in the States once you start going places where the rooms are high, nikkas disappear. Hell i went to Disney World and it was very rare to see some black folks.

GOAT trip and I ain't see everything I wanted I'm kinda mad I'm already back in cold ass Babylon, if you black you need to go to Africa and see how much money could be made from small ass investments. Anyone that's really seen Addis at night knows if any nikkaz seen what Chichinya workin wit they'd add Ethiopia alongside Brazil and DR as places to go fukk with the bytches. I'm in the airport waitin on my ride so I'll go more in depth with pics n shyt when I get to the crib cuz I'm noid about using airport wifi. But all my Habesha nikkaz that ain't been yall need to stop loafin, shyt if you black in general you need to go I swear it's beautiful being surrounded by every shade of black and crackers are minorities. :blessed:

I remember when I went back home during highschool. I was kinda aggy when I saw some white people walking around the airport. I was thinking..."I know them muthafukkas is plottin on stealing somebody's land or oil...:pacspit:

Norfeast groovin…
I gotta pay my phone bill so I can send the pics and videos to my email so I'ma handle that as soon as possible I got footage of Addis, Shashamane, Lake Bobogaya at Debre Zeit, etc. My whole family from the states and Canada came thru for my Aunt's wedding so after that I pretty much had time to do what I wanted. I fukked 6 bytches total(Counting my trips to Debre Zeit, Nazret, Shashamane, and Awasa) it coulda been more but I ain't even stunt it was all trickin, but $500 Birr averages out to around $20 dollars so meh and sometimes you could make it 300, for a bad ass bytch with ass and titties I can't even be mad. I don't know the language well enough to mack so I ain't mad. You'll prolly put up another $10-12 dollars for a nice hotel, so I dunno it almost felt too easy.

But when I speak of investments I mean that shyt from the West is highly coveted and people that got money out there will pay the fukk up. Take human hair for example, you can find decent shyt for like $70 dollars but over there they pay a startin average of $6000 Birr, the exchange rate last I checked was $19.50 Birr for every $1 dollar. So that alone is a mean flip, plus renting space is cheap and when you leave the capitol shyt gets cheaper. You can get a brand new condo in Debre Zeit for like $800 dollars and rent that shyt by the dollar to Arab nikkaz lookin to trick and chew khat. I dunno, its just fukked up when you see cacs and chinamen tryna come up on these swindles, hell I talked to a lot of the OG members of the Rasta community in Shashamane and real live it should be much more developed than it is. $10,000 gets you a nice size compound in the Rasta section with land to grow what you want. If you a real dread you should look to invest in Shash especially cuz it could be a much more vibrant community. Generally, it doesn't take a lot of money to invest and get a nice return in Ethiopia or Africa in general.

In terms of being a tourist, it's good to have someone that's fluent and around the same age range and mind frame as yourself. That way they can guide you to what you want to do, my brother grew up there so he knew the spots to go to and knew what people to watch for(corrupt cops, thieves, rough neighborhoods, swindlin ass bytches, etc.) but it ain't on some City of God type shyt. Just use your hood instincts, that shyt works anywhere.

Next year I'ma go back and get flicks of the castles, rock churches, and Axum cuz those are just must see places for me. lol, I really wish I coulda got Chichinya on video for yall but I thought my phone would get snatched cuz it's rough out there but any nikka that's been there will co-sign me. Just picture 2 blocks of bars and clubs with nothin but bad bytches hardly wearing anything tryna grab you and pull you into an ocean of p*ssy. :ahh:

Edit: Sly just made me think of the Eri chicks in Addis...:noah:
