- Best public train in Africa? In this travel vlog I visit this light rail train In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia its the best public train in Africa. I decided to wake up in the morning and go get a coffee from a place called "Global Coffee" in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I then decide to take the light rail in Addis Ababa to experience the best public train in Africa, Ethiopia. For a light rail train in Ethiopia, Africa it was very advanced and efficient. I took the light rail train to meskel square and walked around this area a bit. It was a great day taking the light rail train in addis ababa.

A man from the USA trying to discover the world one place at a time, while sharing the experiences through my lens. I like traveling to places that are usually not first on most people’s itinerary and showing everyone that these places are worth the journey. I want to experience all the countries I visit as a member of the society but at the same time learn about the culture, food and beautiful people. Growth is not achievable without leaving your comfort zone, so just do it!

You're doing an awesome job again bro 👏! I can't get tired of watching your videos about Ethiopia! You know everything pretty much about our beloved ancient Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and I appreciate for your authentic real videos! Just curious by the way, are you there in Ethiopia today March 23rd, 2023? Greetings all from your proud Ethiopian 🇪🇹 brother in Minnesota, USA 🇺🇸

I learned a lot about Addis Ababa from your videos than my one month visit/stay. Thank you so much for what you are doing! Stay safe!
God bless!!
Jesus loves you
I love seeing myer interact with the locals konjo amahric gobez Myers
We ethiopian love you so much brother much respect from Ethiopian 🥰
“Don’t just show the negatives “ Well said …. Thank you for this brother. People show only the bad sides of Africa, not the goods. Every country has good and bad sides …. Enjoy
Addis Ababa is beautiful
No, it's not. It's full of tribalism and ethiopia is on its to becoming a failed country. Young people are jobless and no skills. A city that is becoming overpopulated and bad traffic infrastructure.
Brings back memories
Well come to addis abeba Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Thank you
thank you bro you are introducing Ethiopia very well and I recommend you to go to Diredawa and Harer they are close to each other they are cities that found in the eastern part of Ethiopia
Meyer, we appreciate your humbleness and the videos you share about our beloved country. 🇪🇹. God bless you!
I appreciate you! Thank you
Ramadan Mubarak bro enjoy beautiful trip

I'm Ethiopian, and I always miss the Machiato back home. I'm always waiting for your blogs.
I’m a coffee lover too I can’t wait to drink it. I left Addis when I was 17 wasn’t a coffee driver then but now after living in the us for decades I’m a Starbucks addic so I can’t wait to test it in Addis 🙏🏾🙏🏾
You will love it
Starbucks coffee is terrible. If I offended you I apologize
“Shining light on your people” like Nipsey (Ermias) Hussle said ;) Much love and keep up!
Thank youu for sharing bro my mother land country ❤❤❤
Your Amharic is wow
I didn't even try the train yet. Thanks for sharing!🙏🏽💕

My kids And I Love watching your videos.
More coaches should be added to the trains to ease the overcrowding.

U r the best blogger u r the best keep up bro. I hope u visit museums next time
Maybe one day!
Awesome vacation bro... 💚💛❤ be yourself. ONE ❤
don't go back to your counter we love you Ethiopia vlog😍😍😍
Great vlog. I think it would be great if Addis Ababa locals spoke their language and translate using English subtitles. Because it feels they've a lot to say and we would like to hear from them. Thank you
Addis Ababa is definitely developing from all the Construction. What was that Lentil thing called?
The lentils staff is called Sambusa.
Bravo 👏 bro I appreciate that you trying to speak
I don't now why security forces are being rude on tourists trying to get money by telling them it's not allowed to film. As Ethiopian 🇪🇹 I can tell you that it's allowed to film in public places. I think when you get near security guards just put the camera away for a second. Great video 👍
Its okay it happens sometimes, as a traveler you adjust and move forward
@@myertravelsYou've got a chilled personality. 👍
its because they have something to hide
Аддис-Абеба кажется вполне цивильным городом.
It definitely is
You are very interesting!
Thank you!
thank you brother 🌹🙏🌹
One Love Motherland 🌍 ETHIOPIA
8:46 why only have 2 ( the middle is ? ) car train: that is why its overcrowded. HONESTLY i dont think the people who are in charge of METRO TRANSIT is aware of this issue. The train need double the length
ስወደው እኮ ይሄን ሰውዬ ❤
Nipsey is Eritrean 🇪🇷 the Eritrean community held candle vigil for him like we did in NYC, LA , London
RIP NIP
Thank you 💚💛❤️
WOW
Bro why don’t you try going to skylight hotel or others famous hotels you should go and visit that too.
Just started watching your vids Myer. Nice work! Super respectfully you are mad handsome.
Welcome aboard!
@Myer: wow - nice. Thanks a lot. "Mesqel" - literally 'the cross' - is an eastern orthodox churches' festival that commemorates 'the finding of the true [christian] cross' by a Roman empress named Helena in the fourth century A.D. (aka in 500s A.D.). The lighting of a huge bonfire at Mesqel square/festival is meant to reproduce the candle-light that Empress Helena of Rome had ostensibly used to find the "missing but the true cross on which a Jewish man named Jesus Christ was crucified" in his hometown of Jerusalem, but by the armies of his Roman colonisers & their Jewish collaborators. Also, the square itself has had lots of not necessarily glorious history or stories of its own as you hinted in your intro. A century or so ago, the same square was a venue where the indigenous tribe of the area on which Addis is built - the Oromos - carried-out their indigenous African religious festival known as "irreecha", at the hot springs & small lake near the square. [You can visit the hot springs & even take a bath in their thermal waters. There is a hotel near the square dedicated to that pursuit - if you like]. Afte the area on which Addis sits today was conquered & colonised by the Amharic-speaking warlords who hailed from northern Ethiopia, that same spot was renamed & converted into a venue were a Judeo-Christian religious festival called "Mesqel" began to be celebrated (about 140 years-ago). In the meantime, the original indigenous African religious festival (Oromos') was totally banned by the Christian & Amharic-speaking rulers of Ethiopia till another bloody regime change in 1991 sort of allowed the Oromos to resume celebrating their ancient African religious festival near 'Mesqel Square' - albeit on a small scale & in a much-distorted format as the same was forgotten due to the long ban. Before that, the same square was also renamed as "Abiot Adebabay" [=Revolution Square] since when a nominally socialist/communist military junta called DERG deposed the last & ethnic Amhara emperor named Haile Selassie in 1974. [The Ras Tefarian cult was named after Ras Tafari aka Emperor Haile Selassie. Ras Tafari was his real name & Haile Selassie his royal name. NOTE: Nearly ALL of the emperors of Ethiopia were Amharic-speakers &/or members of the Amhara tribe plus members of the Orthodox church]. Since 1991, the old name - Mesqel Square - was informally restored when the DERG junta was violently removed by an all Orthodox christian rebel fighters who hailed from the province of Tigray aka the most northerly province of Ethiopia (next to Eritrea) & the "birth-place of the Ethiopian Orthodox church". Today, there is a strong underlining dispute over the name of the square plus on the issue of 'who exactly owns the land on which the mostly Amharic-speaking people of Addis Ababa live? .. the indigenous Oromos who still live all around the city & beyond OR the Amharic-speaking settlers that dominate Addis Ababa'. So, don't be surprised if you hear about another revolt or an inter-ethnic fighting around this square & the city of Addis Ababa in the future. Thanks again & all the best.

Hey buddy I’m a big fan actually the guy was asking you to buy him a banana so he can eat but you told him you were full that was funny 😂
Bro you are more habesha Than me haha i am diaspora from Eritrea 😢😂😅
You don't have to be here if you don't want to
It is about ETHIOPIA
@@elizabethtilahun6114 I love Ethiopia though
@@elizabethtilahun6114 idiot
Love your videos
When are you going to Eritrea bro please 😢😢😢
That coffee and sambusa looks good!
The waitresses should learn how to serve and take orders with smile and good spirit.
If they don't speak English they can politely say "no English sorry "...Don't stand with a folded hand or try to walk away and lean against the table...training training simple training that brings more tips!😅
Its okay sometimes people are just shy when they see a camera, I dont blame anyone for that
@@myertravelsThis man.😅
its crazy even the police not allowing you to record in public space! i was born and raised in Ethiopia and haven't been back in a while but this seems like after the war the public are a bit paranoid about foreigners recording them and stuff which should not be encouraged at all. Ethiopia is really the best place to visit despite to current climate and hopeful things will get back to normal soon in God's will
Next you should go siltasefer alem Bank

Nice video! Please, don't erase it.
U sound like the local Ethiopian
I’m surprised they wouldn’t let you film at Meskel square I feel like they’re being a bit dramatic
Love your vlogs, Myer! You’re really handsome 😊. You’re giving me Cali vibes. Are you from Cali? Lol
Lol
Did you just say Nipsey Hussle do you know him do u like him do u listen to his 🔥music brodie he was my cousin 😢rip 🙏 LLNH

“Square” means Adebabay in Amharic so mesqel square means mesqel adebabay 😊
Hello,
Merkel is one of the most popular holiday in the Ethiopia Orthodox church. Meskel means The finding of the true cross of Jesus Christian.
Thank you brother.

Bro u are good 👍🏿,
But when u recording the video!
The guy sitting near the banana asks you to buy some banana 😅😅😅 .
And he said don't record us for free.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you make a vlog "what you don't like about Ethiopia or Ethiopians" ?
Im ethiopian, and i dont even like many things, for example. Tribalism in ethiopia is shameful, and people are so backward that they fear cameras as if its a gun. You're discriminated against based on your ID card and what region you come from. Many young people are jobless and lack skills for the modern world and have been left behind. The level of poverty is shocking and sad. Ethiopia is the only country that practices ethnic federalism, which will destroy the country. Ethiopians don't understand democracy and think as tribes only. The capital addis is becoming a cesspit of corruption, and infrastructure is lacking. So this and many more. Do you want me to go on?
Im not one to focus on negatives, I am sure you can find a lot of content on what is not to like about any place.
ይህ ግለሰብ እየሰለላችሁ ካልሆነ ካልከባችሁ ገደል ግቡ ጋላ መቼስ አረቄ ነው መጠጣት ነው የሚያውቀው
What do you do other then RUclips to make a living bro just interested in moving down there
5:16 how isn’t there a zebra crossing here.. 😮
Adebabay mean Square
I would like to say sorry to you on behalf of the rude people you are facing every day, I know most people don't understand how is that important to take care of tourists in the country, I saw even a police officer shouting at you, I feel bad for you. Don't mind such rude people, I wish you the best and most enjoyable spend time in Ethiopia
It does not bother me, as a traveller you just learn to move on and adjust
Truthfully, during my visit, I found most Ethiopians to be cold, proud and quite unfriendly. They also stare a great deal. I have no idea why this is the case.
Every 10 min you get food dame dude
haha Im Hungry man
😂 you complain it’s packed with lots of people? Have you been to Indian train? Looks like you really feel comfortable walking around in that city.
Myer*
Travel to hossana
Hopefully next time
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi🥰🥰❤️
😀😀
Seems like everyone speaks English?
This guy is handsome, no homo
Haha thanks man
Don't ask if you can make a video that's your right just do it🙃
Now matter how Ethiopia get developed, they will never outgrow their paranoid of making rules in regards to your individual freedom in public. That young police man was wrong of him asking you to stop filming . after all the. trams are public. public means for the people
Ethiopians are still conservative and new things are alien to them
You are so negative.
“Never” is a long time. The young RUclips/tiktok generation doesn’t mind the camera, actually the opposite.
Yea but its okay, as a traveler you just move forward
14:11 { Nipsey Hussle } his not Eritrean his agame gomal from Tigray up north of Ethiopia so his not Eritrean at all ::
How lazy those police officers are to get up and help
; they sitting all day doing nothing--be-careful in the train no sham to get in your pockets!!! The police officer might show try to show you their power be careful they none sense
You are so beautiful
Handsome man
Beautiful is for ladies I guess
Why they don’t allowed you to filming??they themselves don’t know very corrupted they want you to give them money bribe
Did you say colonialism???
I hate the working beggars😒! It's so embarrassing to watch. You handled them very well. 🤗
Ethiopia is on its way to becoming a failed country. Ethnic federalism and huge jobless youth with low education and skills have harmed the country. A country where your ethnicity is written on your ID card and can be used to discriminate.
They asked him to buy banana.
@Beti Ye stop defending them. They said he should buy a banana for him. I feel sad for young ethiopians. They are solely lacking in skills and are jobless. This, generation is being left behind and has been poisoned with tribal politics. Ethiopia will be a failed country in the next 10 years. Corruption, tribalism, ethnic federalism, poverty, and conflicts. all these are precursors for a rapid decline. Ethiopia is a powder keg waiting to explode.
@Beti Ye you should re-watch again!!!!
Addis Ababa is very big city they need proper 8 coach metro train not tiny light rail they need to heavily invest on transportation system
Yes I agree
don't go back to your counter we love you Ethiopia vlog😍😍😍
