I've been told by a couple of doctors in Ethiopia that since we weren't born there we will never "develop" the useful bacteria needed to keep us from getting sick occasionally. Personally, I am sick a lot with diarrhea that I can't explain. I wash ... Read More

Glad I can help! I don't know of any Indian guest houses. Be sure to post that question. Its highly possible. BTW, the BEST Indian food in town is on Bole Road, Sangam! I hope you think so, too. Read More

I don't have any ideas about guesthouses except that there are a lot of them. How long will you be here? We have friend that lives in one but he is always worried theft so I won't recommend it. 250 birr should be plenty per day. Some food is ... Read More

AA is a safe place, in my opinion. I walk just about anywhere and have even started taking the blue taxi vans! The weather is gorgeous but the rainy season starts about now and will last until mid Sept. You will need a good, sturdy umbrella ... Read More

Yes, you can buy a washing machine. I would suggest you make friends with a local cab driver. They tend to know where everything is! I can give you our friend's name and number if you would like. He is great, although he does charge 50 Birr an ... Read More

I will be back there sometime this fall. I'll let you know, if you are interested. My husband is working for Ethiopian Airlines and I travel back and forth to the States. I think you will like it. Only the most opened minded get along there, ... Read More

I am not sure about buying wine but I am pretty sure you can get South African wines. And the gin shouldn't be a problem. I don't wear contact lenses since I had laser surgery but I feel certain you can find the solution. Everything just cost so ... Read More

My husband and I are in and out of the country a lot and I have many great suggestions for you. Addis is fine but please get out of the city! Go to Kuriftu Resort and Spa at Debre Zeit to the south about 40k's. Even if for the day. To the ... Read More

I don't have a recommendation for housing but I will tell you that Addis Ababa and Ethiopia as a whole is VERY safe. The people are inherently kind and gentle and would never harm you. With that said, there are plenty of scams or taxi drivers ... Read More

I personally haven't stayed there but I understand from someone that the Jupiter Hotel is nice and reasonable. And it is next to Friendship Shopping Center for your needs. Be very careful of the water and food you eat! It's so easy to become ... Read More

Although Addis Ababa and Ethiopia in general is a very hard place to visit or to live, I agree that the people are kind hearted and generally good. It's so difficult to not give to the beggars but it makes me so mad to see a mother send her little ... Read More

I am not sure of the costs, but I hear the Jupiter Hotel is a nice place to stay. It's also in a central location off Bole Road. Read More

I do not live in Ethiopia but my husband has been there for a year. I have visited once and will be returning next month. I love to take photographs and I learned quickly that a lot of people do not want you to take pictures of them! If you ask ... Read More

I especially recommend the Sheraton if money is not an issue. The Hilton is a little less and not quite as nice. Don't get me wrong, they are both nice but the Sheraton is primo. These two hotels are the only places to find ATM's. These two ... Read More
