Never even heard of this city. This little journey we've taken has been quite the learning experience. So many different cities yet mostly the same all over the world.

Pretty much. It’s been cool to learn about other peoples experiences with different cities, some of which has actually surprised me.

Yeah cuz the whole world is all the same but the media and people make others think that it's different. Some of these cities I had no idea existed and some I had no idea they when looked that way. Got me motivated to travel and see the world.

It’s dope but it’s not much to do there tho...
The food is good and unique (to me) and the people are friendly and nice.

The women are fine ass hell but 90% of their sex is wack.

It’s safe but u got to watch for pickpockets but that at most overseas cities.

I give it a 6. I will go back because I work in East Africa for time to time and I have shawty there but that’s really it.

The 2 clubs I went to solo the girls and everybody else was grouped up. They seem to be lounge type spots. Only groups of girls like 3+ or mix with guys. Didn’t seem like it was the type of club for intermixing. I did go to a 4th club full of working girls and they do a lot of intermixing there :lolbron: if that’s your thing lol...but besides that it’s just like any club or bar in the world. The woman are BAD but they are notorious for wack sex...but if you find a good one she good lol..a met a chick off tinder and she was legit legit. I had a couple starfishes tho. Bad or not I’m not down with fukking a starfish. They will look good on your arm tho lol

The dollar stretch pretty good there I dnt really remember the prices TBH but I remember thinking it cheap. If you want 1st world amenities style hotel you going to pay 60-80 for a basic room tho. Most staff and people who work there are very helpful and nice customer service is waaay better than America for example. Never met a rude person. Taxiis are cheap but they drive you crazy trying time hustle you. Never trust somebody that walk up to you randomly they do scams and shyt. Common sense but still.

They actually have a black market for the $. You can get more Ethiopian money for your dollar but idk how to exchange money there or where to go to do it.

All in all it’s cool. They don’t have any major chain restaurants that I have seen. I went to a couple different styles of restaurants and all the food was good.

English is not really widely spoke out there. I say about 25% of regular people( non hotel and restaurant staff) you come in contact with speak decent English.

A lot flights come early morning so that will let you check in at like 8am if room available. If you get a deluxe room or suite your room will be available. If a basic you gne have to wait more than likely.

You do see a lot of poverty there tho and people begging. The internet can get cut at anytime do to civil unrest that happened to me. No internet for 4days in the whole country I think.

It’s decent and if you traveling in East Africa it will be cool to hit up but not really much to do there and Ethiopian air actually offer up free stopovers with a hotel room.

Well it’s worth visiting if you plan on visiting East Africa since Addis has a lot of flights to different places in East Africa . Plus like I said they do stopovers too so if you in East Africa you should most def give it a go.
