Dear Myre, you have such a wonderful, positive, and brilliant personality, and I truly appreciate the affection you have shown to Ethiopians. However, I am sad to learn about the challenges you had to deal with. You are absolutely right regarding the currency, Internet, and transportation problems in Ethiopia. My hope is that things will improve in the future, and I would like to see you return back to Ethiopia because we feel that you are among one of us. Have a safe flight, dear brother.

[@myertravels]

I believe in time these things will improve, thanks so much for your kind words!

[@ethiorich9324]

We love you brother, thank for promoting Ethiopia as great and good country.

[@myertravels]

I love Ethiopia

[@jaysherif9594]

I am originally from Addis Ababa/Ethiopia, and I agree with all the six points, but the crime stat is up compared to what it used to be. One more con is that the cost of living for the locals and inflation are getting out of hand. Thanks for the honest first hand experience. With love from Philadelphia, PA, USA.

[@myertravels]

Yea i would agree that crime has gotten worse, but it is still comparatively safe

[@biggalaxy9102]

​@@myertravelsYou ain't lying. It absolutely ain't Philly, Newark or where I'm from NYC. I tell my wife when I'm in Addis that this is nothing as compared to what I come from, 70s-90s NYC. And thank God it isn't & I pray it stays this way. But my wife told me that Ethiopia is going to open up it's boarders soon so that foreigners can buy property. I don't know how true this is but it's what she said. We shall see?

I'm glad you mentioned about the lack of wi-fi, or the weak signals. In today's tech everyone depends on the internet and it's content.

That is a good summary of Prons/Cons about traveling to Ethiopia. Thanks. I thought you would mention language as a barrier though. It means we passed that one for now😅

[@tewodrostewolde2724]

That’s on part of the foreigners though They need to learn the local language to communicate. The locals are not under obligation but do try their best to break the barrier that’s why I think he never mentioned that. But I’m a big fan of him.

[@moeawale4891]

Thanks bro your honest and humble opinion and as ethiopian expat. I have been thinking the same thing, especially with CONS points. I'm very familiar with Pros points since I am an ethipian myself originally. I had bad experience with the accessibility/ availability of the internet and it gets even worse as you go outside of the capital and to regions . My need for internet was only for basics but I can't imagine the immense inconvenience you encounter professional tech users like you. Definitely money is another negative issue . In one return trip I left with 3000 birr and thought it was good idea to keep and use in the next trip. Returning after 8 months, they told me my bank notes had zero value and because it was suddently replaced the banknotes for political reason. Another time I departed with 1500 birr and when retuned next trip to Addis I couldn't find t and where I lost ? Probably I lost it somewhere in different airports.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I would love to visit Ethiopia one day. Also, ppl pick pockets everywhere. The trick is to not look like a tourist. On Pro Tip: #3, Ethiopia is UNIQUE in itself, but i refute your claim that “there is nothing in the Ethiopian culture, similar to any other culture or taken from any other culture. Ethiopians have very strong social bond which cannot be disassociated from the fact that they were the only African country to successfully resist colonialism. Ethiopia is not static or in a bubble. The country has been an influencer and has been influenced by other. Glad you had a good trip

I’m pro Ethiopian who reside in the west, I agree partially all the cons about Ethiopia! Work round solutions though 1) currency you can sell your birr in Banks which are thousands of them in Addis. 2) The internet is poor but they've a dongle a portable USB but you've to be a resident I guess to get it but not sure! 3) Transportation is hard to get during peak time but you can hire a car which isn't that expensive the cons is they might held your official document when you hire a car!
