Family VLOG in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia l Medical Tour l Botanical Garden l Day in the Life

[@kukushag3386]

you and your husband and children look like Ethiopians.. ❤❤❤

[@kayl5724]

Oh and your hubby does have the Ethiopian look!

[@helenassefa9172]

yeah he does

[@motivationfind101]

Yeah, he looks like my biology teacher at high school in Ethiopia.

[@SelamSelam-px2zr]

I saw me in this video.. i remember staring at you it was around bole i was surprised to see you in person..and i hope you have a great time in Addis.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

That’s so cool! Love meeting our viewers in person although we didn’t know. Thanks for watching and loving it so far ♥️

[@NORTAMRAT]

Oh the kid says selam perfect. He so sweet. You speak amharick then no one knows that you are a foriegner.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

He’s my little linguist. Everywhere we go he picks up the accent and language so well! I wish he was in a 100% immersed environment but I thought it would be unfair to send him to a different school from the rest of us.

[@NORTAMRAT]

@@MinervesOnTheMove No worry, he is catching up.

[@DigitalDesignET]

Just a suggestion, take your kids to Abrehot library. I'm sure they will enjoy it. There is also a big playground and a park called 'Unity Park' nearby. If you are going to spend time in the park, it will have to be a day of activity on it's own. Actually going to Unity Park is not just a one day visit, it's the kind of place you get up and go whenever you feel like you want the kids to have an active day. Just make sure to go on a Saturday as they will be having a water fountain show at around 6pm, you don't wan't to miss it (trust me). All the best to you and your family.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Thanks!!

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Could we go tomorrow for new years? 👀

[@DigitalDesignET]

@@MinervesOnTheMove yes, it's probably going to be more festive and enjoyable.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Okay well go there! I’ll go before the water show to enjoy both. Thanks alot!!

[@DigitalDesignET]

@@MinervesOnTheMove the name of the park is Friendship park, sorry for the mix-up. Unity Park is across the street,and it is as good as Friendship Park, it even have a zoo inside. But this time just go to friendship park and you will go to unity park next time. With the kids and all you don't want to do too much in one day. The water fountain show is at friendship park.

[@liyuworkchanelegesse7396]

I love your vlogs! Just subscribed so that I can watch more ❤ You made me miss my hometown 😢

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Thanks for subbing! And come out!

[@MesfinGetachew-w6b]

Selamnooo,the little one is special,I like your kids!!

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Aww thanks, we like them a lot too 🙃

[@mtty2826]

Dr. Allen was my school mate.....good to see him again

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

So cool!

[@robela.5010]

I love you guys. Please keep posting!

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Awww thanks for following us ♥️♥️

[@Yo-pn9qp]

I was just going to comment on your last video saying that! I just had an overwhelming feeling that you all really belong there like you were 'returning home' even though I know you're not from Ethiopia. Idk if it was the way you filmed, your families demeanor, or just a feeling but it looks like you all are home :)

[@gebriye1]

You guys seem to be having fun out there. You right your husband looks like a typical Ethiopian. As we Ethiopians like to say " Everybody in the world has some Ethiopian in them since we believe life started there. Are you guys from the DMV area by any chance? Your husband looks familiar to me. Have fun and stay safe.

[@sileshiedo7097]

Good to see you beautiful family our home land Ethiopia 🇪🇹

[@RemyBReel]

You're going to be translating for me when we out and about real soon!

[@littlefamilybigworld]

Good luck on your new adventure! We’ve been enjoying your videos since San Pedro Sula😊 We are also a family of five, expat teachers, in Indonesia. Cheers!

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

So cool! Love hearing about other families abroad. Thanks for watching us ♥️

[@sirajseyfu]

You are very nice, you are our young African American sister. You often show us beautiful places and good aspects. If you show us many good aspects of Africa like you, I think it will be very entertaining and give us a good understanding and image.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Thanks for the compliment! I think so many people come on here and lie about countries to get views. But it truly is wonderful here ♥️

[@helenassefa9172]

I am from ethiopia and each year i go there sometimes and its fun you could go to differnet churches their and its a amazing ethiopia all the way!😃

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

We had wondered what the culture was like and if we could go. Would love to check out some of the churches in the city.

[@vulnicura-938]

haha i was literally just thinking he looks so habesha when i saw the last video

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

🤣🤣

[@DRPropertyGuys]

I think you guys hit the spot. Ethiopia seems to be what Sosua, Dominican Republic was before the invasion of mass (not good type) of tourism. I'm sure your kids will have the best upgrowing possible in places like this. Love the channel, keep up the great work, one love!

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

I love that comparison!

[@TedhomeWoldesemayat]

The right time to go to botanic garden is Oct. To march during sunny days.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

We will be going back then for sure lol

[@tyreliouszukarious2582]

Wow I saw black dolls in the market. I am of age to remember my parents to only offer European dolls to their kids. It’s changing for better

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

So interesting. I would have assumed it was always the norm. So glad to see black dolls for my daughter as well.

[@tyreliouszukarious2582]

@@MinervesOnTheMove yeah, the culture is deconstructing slowly. I’m hope to see similar efforts taken with clothing store mannequins. It’s high time to use models who look like local consumers.

[@Kneec0e]

Yes for the fashion show! Nah it definitely gets cold on that side of the world. When I lived in eSwatini/Swaziland it was COLD! I remember the 1st time I saw frost on the cars/ground.

[@Kneec0e]

Omari with his front tooth out! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

🤣🤣🤣

[@britneyallyce5166]

Loved the video !! 🩵

[@mrdacusthenavigator4989]

I love Ethiopia. My favorite country

[@absiol3588]

Ethiopia is a great place to live, Unfortunately racism exists among Ethiopians because there are over 80 different languages and cultures in Ethiopia. Each one of them wants to be in power and fight each other. You have a beautiful family, Love watching your videos.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

I’ve come to accept there’s racism everywhere, even if Africa. But I just believe there’s more good in this world than bad, I hope. Thanks for watching

[@CacaoFlower]

Not each of them mainly the habesha tribes

[@motivationfind101]

አስፈላጊ ነዉ ይሄን መፃፍ? so random

[@firancymulisa751]

Omg i was there and i saw you guys

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Wow! You’re there third person who has said that to us. Say hey next time sis 👋🏽

[@handdeeabroad]

I love your storytelling

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Thanks! 😊

[@lij_nahi393]

next go to adwa museum and also happy new year 2017 in Ethiopia

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Thanks for the suggestion! We need as many as possible 🙃

[@teje7405]

This is your home with all its glory and flaws.

[@Yo-pn9qp]

You definitely need to hire a cook and cleaner though. It's affordable, worth it, and you'll be creating jobs!

[@karser6456]

Hi great info..would have been great if you gave us an idea of cost (in birr) ..i've heard medical care in ET can be astronomical. Like how much for ER visit or basic health exam etc? Also would be nice to know about dental care..where the clean/reputable one's are etc. thanks.

[@motivationfind101]

It is not that expensive, for cleaning you teeth stuff like that I paid around $100

[@kayl5724]

Love the quality and length of the video! Are you formally learning the language? Also any mandatory shots for Ethiopia? Also glad you kept wearing the glasses they are gorgeous especially on you!

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Thanks!! I am just picking up words everyday and asking strangers for new words 😂 I actually have a list now that I practice on my phone. I don’t think there are mandatory shots?

[@kkenso7571]

Are you really called? You must be from Texas😍🤩 You are so sweet and beautiful

[@sabagebrehiwot6250]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bethelhemmekonnen3383]

can you please make a video about how i could enroll my kids in your school? pweeessss

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

We work at the school so not sure how the enrollment process works for non-teachers 🤔

[@muluabate4276]

Please tell all Americans who are watching your visit. Africa is not a desert. Believe everyone in USA thinks Africa is a very hot climate. They don't know it varies from country to country. Even ethiopia it depends which part of ethiopia you are. North western ethiopia is colder than addis, and the some time eastern part of ethiopia is very hot.

[@KingTateGreene]

You’re right, I even did. I think there might be a lot of programming regarding that.

[@abenezergeneti8477]

lol said ‘white people stuff’ right before you did 😂. Love the videos hope you get to enjoy you time here ❤

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

[@CacaoFlower]

How has it truly been going for yall ?

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

It's been going pretty well so far!

[@etiopienfotbollchannel316]

Visit entoto

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Going soon we hope!

[@amentehuti-naga4156]

Do they ever call you a rasta or ask you if you are a "jamaica'' because of the locs

[@Becxx88]

Just wondering if you got a maid.

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Yes, we did!

[@GaryJohnson-r4h]

[@Knox-n1i]

I personally wouldn't confuse your husband for an Ethiopian. If Ethiopians confuse him for an Ethiopian, may be Ethiopia is a lot more diverse than I thought.

[@JamboJoke]

He looks sidamo our southern shewa. Ethiopia is 80 ethnic groups and languages

[@Knox-n1i]

@@JamboJoke I only knew the Habesha Ethiopians. That explains.

[@I.....351]

Trust me Ethiopia is way more diverse than most people think from skin shed to culture and traditions. I think that is the case for most African countries. I even thought her husband was Ethiopian when I first saw their videos 😅

[@CacaoFlower]

I have a cousin that looks just like him & we are Habesha Tigray tribe

[@I.....351]

@CacaoFlower tigre and slim face I can tell that 😅😅😅

[@WoyeneBronze]

I actually thought he was Ethiopian who gerw up in the USA

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Ian’s family is from Trinidad and Tobago but I feel like if they go back farther…🧐

[@Bahir21]

"Crazy white people stuff" 😂😂😂 i have white and asian friends and we go to hiking pretty much every Saturday mornings 😂 and am Ethiopian living in the States. Eaton canyon see you Saturday 😂

[@YSCBC]

lol are you not entertained 😂

[@MinervesOnTheMove]

Remy is ridiculous 🤣🤣

This is the only country in the world full war with own people you cannot travel outside Addis ababa.
