Ethiopia has always fascinated me. 10th most populous country in the world, but nobody really knows anything about it. As primitive as it is, it looks quite expensive for foreigners. Seems to be a problem with most rapidly growing countries, the high demand for living space means any room that is not a closet commands a premium price. One time I watched a vlog of walking around Addis Ababa and was struck by how inconsiderate everyone was to their fellow pedestrians. Getting around the country is likely a huge pain in the ass as well. Population has more than tripled in the past four decades, meaning every transport vehicle is going to be packed like sardines and traffic is going to be nightmarish.

>>2749678I backpacked in 2017. It was very exciting, diverse and cheap. Tons of things to do (Danakil, Simien, Omo tribe).Locals not easy to interact with. A few nice people though.I believe it is safe again. There was a civil war in the north (Afar region).
>>2749678>As primitive as it is, it looks quite expensive for foreigners. No, not really. You can get a decent hotel as low as $10 and a good one for $20-30. Food is quite cheap, taxi is cheap.>Getting around the country is likely a huge pain in the ass as well.

I hear Emitrea is nice.
Ethiopia's pretty cool. I'd go as far as to say it'll remain one of the coolest countries I've ever seen or will see, despite having traveled a good it and planning to continue to do so.
