The first sensation I’ve got at Addis is the altitude of the city, some breathing difficulties on the first days made me realize how the city has been built , In fact, the majority of the places I visited around Addis were green and the scenery is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. There is also so much history and culture to be discovered.
But the most exciting moment I had were when I met a small family with a lot of children. The Ethiopians are warm, friendly and inviting people who are always excited to meet a foreigner and despite their obvious struggles, always went the extra mile to accommodate me.
I was amazed, how good English they can speak, we start talking about China, Algeria, football, music, we spent a very good time enjoying a coffee ceremony prepared by one of them.
Being African, I always wanted to make my hair as a real one, and they gave me the chance to enjoy this moment with them.
I’ve been twice to Ethiopia, and this family became somehow a part of mine, every time I reach Addis my first call is for them just to arrange a time to meet!!
