Since I discovered your channel, I have been enjoying it immensely and following your travels on a regular basis. Through it, I've learned a lot about many nations, including my own Ethiopia. I left my country long ago and live at the heart of Europe, and whenever I visit Ethiopia, I only stay in Addis, where I was born and raised, so your channel is a real eye opener. If the situation in my country improves and the madness subsides, I might travel all over. I'm so sorry for the difficult time you had to go through in Ethiopia, but keep going! You are an amazing man with great resilience.

I was stuck in a queue for not 1, not 2, but THREE whole days, from dawn till dusk.

Next time just give them some money that's it. You think the 50 Euros he pays at the airport are official? That's normal to speed up things. I had friends in similar situation in other African countries and Asia 😂 but the best thing to do ist DONT ever take your passport with you. Nobody cares if you are required to carry it around all the time. A copy on paper or picture on phone is accepted everywhere. I got into checks in a bunch of countries. The paper copy in my wallet was never a problem. Not even in Dubai. Last time I got a fine in Georgia (the country) and I just gave them my name because I had nothing on me and my battery was empty😂
