Thank you for the updates. I was there in July. I already miss it. I need to go back soon.

[@princesslivingfree]

Yes, so much has changed since July!

[@eg1890]

Love, love the changes!! It’s happening so fast and hard! Hope they come to my area too?! Ethiopia will be a tourist destinations in a couple of years!!

[@princesslivingfree]

I agree 100%! It will be one of the most desired places for living one day soon.

Thanks for the video. The Motherland will be much better in five years when many of we Black Americans will want to return home. I wish I was there. Much love from America.

[@dochere-bolelwang]

Good to see the family back home safely.. Wow.. 😀.. The developments in Addis Ababa and in Ethiopia in general are captivating to me.. As a keen follower of everything Ethiopian, I see this often via one Ethiopia-based vlogger and friends as well as your content .. There must be more to this than just ensuring a bigger, and better pie of the tourism sector. Travelling, in my experience comes with having these nasty surprises, here on the continent and abroad in my experience where I have been once (Hong Kong).. It is part of the game.. Good that you stayed calm..

Good to see you back home sister ✊🏾

[@addpuppets9326]

yeah, those annoying and unannounced rules of airlines which are constantly changing are happening in other countries too. mostly when governments panic, they make such rules at a point of entry. you must be aware of them before you plan to travel. call the airport and find out if there are new rules that might affect you 'cause they don't care to delay your flight if you don't know.

Addis Ababa really looks different, lots off buildings, lights, the side walks are really mice and the gardens. Just need some improvement on light and water supply .

[@marietedla9997]

I’m sorry Sissu you had this trouble. I’m an Ethiopian and still had all those problems many times. When she said, she can’t read Amharic, that tells her tribal mindset. I hope you knew , the old Greeks classified people in too three category. The idiot, the tribe and the citizens. I hope you find her in one of them.

[@princesslivingfree]

Oh I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. This was a United Airlines employee in the U.S. giving us a hard time about the Ethiopian government’s rule. We didn’t have any trouble with the Ethiopian Airlines staff.

[@marietedla9997]

@@princesslivingfree I’m sorry, maybe my own bad experiences with the officials in Addis influenced me to rush on judgment. I’m glad you didn’t face a problem in Addis, even though it doesn’t make it easier for you. Addis I grew up is completely changed in in terms of curtesy, hospitality, education and so on. Still I’m optimistic, thousands of years culture can’t be obliterated in my lifetime.

The policy on return policy and tickets one way is rediclous please complain

[@princesslivingfree]

@@DHMW26 Yes, it’s ridiculous. Ethiopia has made an agreement with all airlines that any passengers flying to Ethiopia on a US passport must have a return ticket to the US. I agree it’s ridiculous, but that is their new policy.

[@princesslivingfree]

No, I’m not orthodox. It’s just a beautiful cross 😊. Venus Williams?? No, I’ve never heard that before lol.

[@ራስዳርጌ]

Well, you know one of the reasons the church persuades us in to wearing the cross is, to keep the devil away from our surroundings. The church believes the one thing the devil scared the most is the ✝️ So, I am glad you like it. About Venus, well, I gave you a disclaimer, with regard my eyes capable of mixing things up 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣

why do you have to have a return ticket to fly to Ethiopia? I wonder what's behind that policy? I don't see people migrating to Ethiopian from the US, Asia and Europe.

12000 birr $102 is it in bank

[@princesslivingfree]

@@addis11100 Yes, by the bank rate.

[@addpuppets9326]

Yeah. there is no left turn island in most parts. I've been shouting and commenting on government forums that those generous gardens in the middle of the road will someday become a nightmare for drivers. Not just only in the summit-CMC neighborhood but elsewhere too. Once you started driving in Addis I bet you'll feel the agony of not finding a left turn. You've to drive until you find one and then must U-turn. or have to drive on until you find a roundabout. Sigh. I heard a rumor the city plans to put the light train underground. We know for sure Abiy is not a big fan of the tram since it congests the traffic and is ineffective in reducing the shortage of transportation. He said something must be done but didn't specify what the city planned. It was built on commercial loan and the government struggled to pay the debt. The spare parts are expensive and when a tram breaks down, it can take some time to repair.

[@princesslivingfree]

Good information. I’ve noticed the lack of left turn lanes also.
