Let me know what you've heard about Ethiopia
I've heard they have the most beautiful women in the world!
I heard the oldest Bible originates there. Ethiopian Jazz is some of the best 70s music to come from the continent. And about the women, they are simply top 10!
They have the greatest coffee culture and probably some of the aesthetically pleasing cuisines in Africa.
That they are the most arrogant and backward people ever
True story. Coffee is 👌🏽 in Ethiopia
there Are alot of stores that import orgional items from USA. Don't misslead your followers. Research before you make a conclusion. you need to explore the city with tour guides.They Will help you to have a great exeriance in Ethiopia. Enjoy your stay!!
This is the beginning of my journey. More to come
@Jay: Thanks. Yes, Addis Ababa is the highest city in Africa with an altitude of nearly 2,500 meters or nearly 8,000 feet above sea level. The hills behind the city which you showed us are called "Entoto" & they are even higher at about 3000-3500 meters above sea level. In fact, most of Ethiopia is a known as the "Roof of Africa" because most of its landmass sits on one massive volcanic high plateau which is, on average, 2000+ meters above sea level. @So, due to the mountains the rainy seasons can get foggy, drizzly & cold - just like in Europe. Because of the high altitude, the nights tend to be a lot colder & this confuses many foreign visitors who only consider the latitude or the tropical location of Ethiopia & ignore the effects of the high altitude on local weather. @Basically, Ethiopia's volcanic highlands - like the highlands in tropical Bolivia or Peru (Andes Mountains) - moderate the weather & allow Addis Ababa & most of Ethiopia to experience a spring-like weather all year round. @Another good effect of the high altitude is that there are fewer mosquitos on these highlands & there is hardly any need for mosquito nets in hotel rooms, etc. But this last aspect is changing now maybe due to 'global warming' as some mosquitos are settling in high Addis Ababa too. @In contrast, Ethiopia also has the lowest & hottest place on planet in the form of 'The Afar Triangle' &/or 'The Afar/Danakil/Dalol Depression' located east of the highlands & closer to the Red Sea/Djibouti. The Danakil/Afar Depression is one of the lowest places on earth (the lowest place in Africa), with an altitude of about 110 (?) meters BELOW sea level. @Intriguingly, the highest mountain in Ethiopia (nearly 5000 meters above sea level) is located only about 300 (?) Kms west of the lowest ground in Africa/Ethiopia [depending on one's geographic perspective] from 'The Afar/Danakil/Dalol Depression'. @There you go .. & thanks again. Wish you a safe travel in Ethiopia.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
As an Ethiopian I love when Americans visit the US especially black Americans hopefully you love it
Yes, it's been an amazing experience. Thanks for watching. Kindly subscribe to support the channel
😂😂😂😂
bro you always on the move.
a true inspiration
Thank you sir
Don’t be surprised about the food prices…besides inflation is one of the reasons, almost everything you eat In ethiopia or anywhere in Africa doesn’t have all the toxic things or ingredients /no GMO and highly organic…/. It’s the same price or less that the organic foods and products in USA and other countries sale 🤷🏾♀️
I hear you. I don't live in the States, tho. I've been on the African continent for the last 11 months, uninterrupted. I'm comparing to prices in African countries. Thanks for watching
@@JayFocused sadly the price is increasing every single day 🥹thank you for sharing you experience
Well said!!
We do not need USDA approval, our food and beverages are real as it gets!! Organic all the way, as mother earth gives. But thank you for exploring❤
@hannacovington6444
Sure thanks.
Bole Edna mall area was a former central area, but that was over 10years ago. These days there are several centers that are far more developed and urban centres that are beautiful and full of things to do. Meskel Square, Arat Kilo around friendship park and the library, piassa and even CMC which is further out.
The picture in the first half of the video, and at the end, is reversed. Ethiopians drive on the right, not on the left as the video has it. Also, the city has always had many cinemas for decades. Edna mall was not the only cinema facility.
As an Ethiopian-American, I am so glad you had a great experience in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is rich in history, culture, faith & endless Beauty 🙂
yes! Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching
🧶 Africa is more than that! Don't compare it with the Western Countries! We also have things that you don't have! Wait and see! Don't judge quickly!
🧶 You have too many homeless People in America! Especially, African Americans! It is a Shame, not much Social Services provided to them! No Equity! Unbelievable and Unacceptable for a Rich Country! Try to be Polite! Show the great Historical Places too!
Just getting started, don't worry. Much love to Ethiopia
We all know the racism in his own "country", bro is more safe in Africa than America
@ 2:12 correction. there are more than 12 modern cinemas in Addis Ababa. You have the wrong information.
Understood.
❤
Hey, I wanted to give you a heads up! So, when you mentioned that there was only one cinema, well, that's not quite accurate. You see, Addis actually has quite a few cinemas in the city. In fact, the oldest one, which opened during the time of King Menelik 2nd.
Outstanding. Thanks for clarifying. I'm not an expert on the country, just a traveler.
OMG! That KKFC seems to have better tasty chicken than Nando's. I can't recall which country owns Nando's though. Go Ethiopia!
Thank you, sir.
Nandos Is a South African brand.
@@josephshonga178 Hehehe... I know that very well.
🤣
@@youme1414 Oh! My apologies, I misunderstood then. I thought you meant the origins of Nandos; which is South Africa, started by Portuguese South Africans, with a recipe mostly taken from Mozambique.
Hello Jay Focused
Look at one of the best square in the world located in Addis abeba. The squer is called “Adewa Square” completed about 2 month ago. Adwa Square was built to commemorate the 128-year history of Ethiopia's victory over Italy. Adwa is the pride not only of Ethiopia but of Africa and the entire black people in the world. look at the area and judge it by yourself if I lie. There are many squares in Addis Ababa, but now Adwa Square breaks record. Try to uploading from Adwa square to Mexico Squer through cherchel road. Mexico square is not far from Adwa square, it is may be around 3 to 5 kilometer or lessthan 7 kilometer. I hope, you will enjoy and uploading it on your youtube channel.
Thanks
The fried chicken prolly organic compared to the states
💯
I am not surprised what white people tell you about Africa
You were right. The population is just under 6 million
Thanks
I've been to many places that people drive crazy Addis Ababa scared the hell out of me in those little blue taxis lol.
Hahaha..really? For a city of it's size, I think they drive well
Thank you for showing Addis but you showed us only the 50m radius...Why? Afraid to go out?
More videos coming. This was just the first. Subscribe and turn on notificatio s to get informed

129 million people not 60+ million
👍🏽
I think the mall you have been is not the biggest mall in the city now and there is more than 6-7 cinemas across the city in a different location i guess.
Gotcha. Thanks for watching
Amazing amazing country

Merci beaucoup
I would definitely talk to you in Amharic😂
Yeah....I learned the numbers and basic greetings on the plane over.
Cap
Do you have a video where you talk about how you are able to afford to travel and live abroad for long periods of time? If not then do you mind sharing? I want to move my wife to South Africa and/or Windhoek until she can immigrate from Angola to the United States and that's going to take up to 3 years!
Wow, 3 years is a long time. It's a disgrace that the U.S. immigration system takes that long for spouses.
@@JayFocused It really is a disgrace. And as far as I can tell from what I have read and heard the US is the only country that does this type of treatment sadly. Thank you for all that you do. I'm going to try to save enough money to where I can quit my job and go visit her in different countries where the US dollar exchange rate is good and see her for at least a month at a time.
That's why she and I are interested in Namibia and South Africa and why I asked you how do you afford to travel and stay over there. She's actually been to both Cape Town and Windhoek and loved both places.
@@JayFocusedThey only do this to African people .
Who told you Edna mall is the biggest and has the only cinema brother?Big misinformation.Have you been anywhere esle besides bole medhane alem ?
Yes, I got incorrect info. Keep watching and subscribe, more videos coming.
Research man, understand what Ethiopia is all about nation where his sprit is resting
Addis temperature is lowest 17° at the night day time highest 28° , you said 55 the highest & lowest 45 ° that is in Fahrenheit make a correction .
Thanks for watching
No. That's fine. Probably the majority of his audience is american. We know fahrenheit. That's just fine for this video.
@@JayFocused You're good with that Jay. We relate better to what you said.
Hello Jay Focused
I want to remind you to look at one of the best beautiful square in the world called adwa square that located on central of Addis abeba. Adwa square connecting 5 main roads like Bole road that every one can reach all sides of Addis ababa. There are alote of constraction around adwa square. Adewa Square completed about 2 month ago.
Adwa Square was built to commemorate the 128-year history of Ethiopia's victory over Italy. Adwa is the pride not only of Ethiopia but of Africa and the entire black people in the world. look at the area and judge it by yourself if I lie. There are many squares in Addis Ababa, but now Adwa Square breaks record. Try to uploading one of beutiful main road starting from Adwa square to Mexico Squer through cherchel road. Mexico square is not far from Adwa square, it is may be around 3 to 5 kilometer or lessthan 7 kilometer. I hope, you will enjoy and uploading it on your youtube channel.

Exchange your dollar on black market. It is twice of the government rate

But you didn’t show Ethiopian traditional food
Not yet
We have all seen your pancakes!
I picked you up on Uber the other day
Are you sure? In which country? No uber in Ethiopia
Welcome home Brother welcome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 enjoy
✊🏽
Ethiopia is for Ethiopian And he is not Ethiopia and Ethiopia is not his home.ቆሻሻ።
@@316JOHNLT his a black American if you know the role they played during Italy invasion and Ethiopian airlines you would show him some respect. Africa is all of our homes
You look a lot like a Habesha.. I'm certain many Ethiopians will start talking to you in Amharic without asking lol. Safe traveling bruv 🙇♂️
Yeah, it happens everyday...haha
No he doesn't
@@AssabisEthiopian black americans say that because they wish they were another culture or country they say they look like people from this country or that country and that the only difference is the language these people have too many issues to explain but they must be kept out of our countries because they want to usurp our culture and bring their American victimhood we are all black we are all a color and that's all that matters!!
@@JayFocused yah he look habesha a bit , he might have some mix in him in his dna
Bzw most mixed people come out looking like Ethiopians 😊
I have seen a lot of beggars in Harvard square in Boston
I believe you
Yes there are a lot of beggars in Addis Ababa. Let's not be too defensive. Even myself as an Ethiopian find it difficult to deal with it
Exactly, call a spade a spade. No other place compares.
@@dawg929 Not defensive at all, it is an issue that need to be addressed, it is the culture of giving small alms which is attracting beggars
@@solomonderese9311 yep, it is sad to see school aged children on the streets everyday. The gov is not doing anything about it, either. It almost has become a culture. Not all is because of poverty, btw. The Orthodox Christian tradition sees super righteousness in giving, and some of the children are actually egged on into begging
lol when there’s accidents they just out and box it out
Word. I never heard that
Explore all over #Oromiya Inshallah enjoy try Oromo #Jimma be safe brother enjoy
Oromia region is not safe for Ethiopians. You want to get him killed or mugged @JayFocused , don't go without asking a local.

"Bigest Mall in the city and only cinima in the capital," buhahahahaha.....Tish .....lair big lair with full of misinformation. Ahhhh
I was misinformed. Thanks
You say the traffic is manageable 😅 which part of addis you are ?😂
😂😂😂, it's all relative.
Compared to Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Jakarta Indonesia, and even Kampala, the traffic in Addis flows better, based on what I've seen.
Wrong information! Addis Ababa has a lot of beautiful places to see and enjoy. You have no any idea about Addis.
Don'd this mistakes again Please!!!
Thanks for the info
Not you calling the kochkocha guac. 😂
😂😂😂 what's the difference?
@@JayFocused it’s made of jalapenos, garlic, parsley, ginger and other ingredients. It is eaten as a side dish with both meaty dishes and Ethiopian vegan dishes . It’s doesn’t have avocado in it .
Wow, nothing like Guac 🤣
Beggers are everywhere in fhe States too. U may even get shot for not offering a dollar.
🤣
The only cinema?... In the 1980's they had 5 or more😂cinema places... What happen now?
You tell me 😂 but this one closed
Gast Cinema
Eliana Cinema
Vamdas Cinema
Alem Cinema
Century Cinema
& old ones Ambassador, Bherawi theater....
Etc etc...
But then, they are remodeling
Enjoy....people over 50 will tell you about the old ones, if they still there.
@moij5962 👍🏽
Poor camera
Thanks for watching
i know for a fact you had less beggars in Southern Africa approaching you innit?
Hahaha..Southern African cities are far less dense than Addis Ababa. Addis is a highly walkable city, so you are likely to have more street interactions.
@@JayFocused its true its a nonstop migratiom from other regions of Ethiopia into the city , they have completely fucked up the city by now they have taken over , its very dense and suffocating,
I bet the city now has like 12 million ppl
I heard that there are a lot of baddies
The rumors are true. Thanks for watching
yea but i hear they're conservative. one of the most religious countries in the world. christians and mulsims.
@oz-zy
Yes, it is generally a conservative society. Very refreshing to see in this era.
Wow. You look really like everyone else in Africa Jay😊😊😊
