[@lostwithabeard]

Bro, you have no idea how much this means to me ❤❤❤ so important to hear at this level. Thankyou 🙏

[@Milsmek]

Bro i take my hat off to you..for just wondering off and exploring whatever comes your way. proud of you and also for teaching all that ethiopia is safe with welcoming people

[@lostwithabeard]

Exactly! I know there are risks everywhere, but people take it to the extreme by saying not to go anywhere or do anything, so I wanted to show that it's not as bad as people say.

Hey, great video! May I ask for the title of the piano piece playing in the background? Loved it so much. Thank you!

[@lostwithabeard]

Hey dude! really sorry for the long reply, thank you for watching and really glad you enjoyed, the song is called "Legato" by "Ever so Blue"

[@alazarafework1066]

No worries at all! Loved watching it. "Legato" by "Ever so Blue" is a gem. Thanks for sharing! 🎶😊"@@lostwithabeard

We need more people like you in the world. Your energy is real. ❤@@alazarafework1066

[@ggvideonow1]

You are actually right. Khat/chat and poetry has legendary connection. Most Ethiopian music lyrics, the greatest once written with khat around

[@lostwithabeard]

😂100% I'm actually sad but glad I have to move on or I'd be addicted. It's so good and my poetry has reached an all time high! Also, Ethiopian music 👌👌👌👌🍻🍻🍻

[@ggvideonow1]

Have a safe adventure, enjoy

[@lostwithabeard]

Thank you!

[@nytoaddis76]

[@lostwithabeard]

@@nytoaddis76 thanks you dude no I didn’t get back to harar yet but I certainly will be at some point down the line. 😂 love that you are waiting 🍻❤️

[@ggvideonow1]

Road is well maintained 👍

[@krissmgvlogs]

Are you crazy, hitchhiking in Ethiopia on your own!! Great vlog though!

[@lostwithabeard]

Thankyou!! 🤣I've Never Been Normal kriss

[@tadiyos8797]

You lucky, you moving freely, most of Ethiopian got killed when they move one city to another.

[@lostwithabeard]

I got the bus to Somaliland from Harar, took maybe 4 buses with around 30 people. They're all still alive.

What a reckless drivers blocking the road to pass chat to their friend .

[@lostwithabeard]

😂 They were enjoying their day off but understandable comment

[@nytoaddis76]

I dont understand the statement, "the women do all the work", soon after showing us the male welder. Where is this stereotype of African men come from? Yes, the women do a lot of work, but so do the men. What am I missing?

[@lostwithabeard]

Because the statement was relating exactly to the movement of water. If you go to rural areas you'll usually see the women and young girls with giant water containers on their backs whilst the guys are chewing drugs by the road. However I also agree it's not that simple, the guys are also farmers and protectors and like you say welders etc.. so yes it was relating only to the specific cause of water movement.

[@nytoaddis76]

​@@lostwithabeard Men chewing khat does not mean they don't work. Women in medieval UK also carried water on their backs and the men drank beer. In Ethiopia, young girls and women carry water while the men farm and the boys look after the cattle. It is the division of labor. Both the men and women do back breaking work, a heavy burden on of the poor peasants of Ethiopia. Take a look at the desperate measures Ethiopian men take to get to the Middle East to work at menial jobs, I believe BBC did a special on that.

[@lostwithabeard]

@@nytoaddis76 A very good point well said, I don’t know too much about that history so I’ll take your word for now and dig deeper. 🍺

[@shalom744]

A thousand dollars is just $10 for you and you still wanted to hitchhike. What a stingy guy

[@lostwithabeard]

My budget could last 2 weeks and 2 videos or 2 months and a multitude of videos sharing the beauty of Ethiopia, in any case the friends i've met from hitchhiking have led onto so many stories and experiences you can't imagine. I'd really encourage you to try it for yourself!

[@shalom744]

@lostwithabeer I agree on the 'getting nice stories from the drivers' reason

[@lostwithabeard]

Exactly, not because I'm a hardcore traveller or anything but, it's the same reason I stay at low budget places and drink in cheap pubs. The real people are there, most foreigners come here and stay at the fancy hotels, go to the upmarket restaurants, have your guides, pretty much navigating 90% of the real people going about every day lives. @@shalom744

Appreciate It a lot and yes, there is so much potential! and the progress is very evident, I wish more people visited and tourism started booming!

[@hanonyohannes3565]

@@lostwithabeard You are an angel who would do this ? Even Ethiopians us we wouldn’t do this either from ignorance or our selfishness! That is why I don’t like when people say white people bring only disaster not all white people. That is where my firm stance as always!

[@lostwithabeard]

Dude, so much love for this comment, there is definitely an inner conflict and I try really hard to not be that classic vlogger going to poor paces to show off how cool I am that i'm there. There is a goldmine of genuine, interesting, intelligent, creative people all over and I want to try and showcase this side of it. @@hanonyohannes3565
