Welcome to Addis. I hope your time here will be safe and memorable. But a little alertness is needed to avoid those who snatch mobile and other valuable stuff using motorbikes. Especially take care when you see two individuals in a motorbike around you. I gave you this information in order to make your stay at Addis is free of any negative memory. We have a bunch of religious and cultural holidays mix yourselves with the local people to get the best out of them. Enjoy your time. May GOD Bless your stay.

@@MinervesOnTheMove As an Ethiopian and caring for your safety I highly suggest you don’t wear rainbow eyeglasses as you can be a target to by some groups who don’t support the LGBTQ.
Wow this video is so cool and your whole family is full of positive energy. What a beautiful family. Thanks for the video. Btw Addis Ababa looks modern and beautiful. Enjoy your stay
But you have freedom in Ethiopia? Really? The police are nice in Ethiopia ? Really?? It is the direst country in the world after Eritrea. Tell the truth. Stop lying.
Addis needs such a lovely young positive and open minded family from abroad who can contribute to developing Addis in education. We are lucky that you chose Ethiopia.
Thanks so much for watching and we absolutely LOVE it so far! Everyone here has been so welcoming and loving. Sadly, that wasn't the case in my home country. We could learn a lot from here.
Unless it’s a matter of time, thousands and millions of people around the world want to live in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Addis Ababa has no competitor in terms of its climate. God bless this beloved country!
I'm an Eritrean who spent a month for vacation there. Ethiopians are overwhelmingly one of the most, if not the most friendly and humble people you'll come across in your travels. I mean they are just generally decent to their core. I felt I can live in Addis. Just be aware of your surroundings especially in market areas for thieves and pick pockets snatching phones and purses. It's to be expected in a society where there is huge unemployment and no social safety nets. In fact i would say, its the decency and fear of God of the people that's keeping worse than petty theft crimes from occuring in a city of 7 million. Cheers!
You’ve just gained a follower. I left my home country almost 15 years ago and been planning to make it back…. Thanks for sharing this video! What an adventure it must be for y’all. Look forward to seeing more.
First of all, just wanna say welcome . What a brave move 😊it's been 6 years since I moved from the States. There will be a lot of cultural differences, but you'll be alright
I just want you to know you are the entire reason why we made it to Africa finally! Starting from our live all the way to your videos you put out. I can’t wait to visit Cote D’Ivorie 🇨🇮
Fun Fact due to Addis Ababa elevation 7,000 ft above sea level the weather is the same year round 50-60 F at night and 70-75 F during the day and the rainy season lasts from May 15th - September 15th.
Hello, welcome to Ethiopia. We’re thrilled to have you here in the heart of Ethiopia. This vibrant city is a melting pot of culture, history, and modernity.
Hey Minerves this is meditationmams trying out free 30 day ad free and man thank you for sharing your lives and travel. It’s like we are there and how cool that you have so many other followers now!

Thank you for your sharing about your experience. You have a beautiful family you very smart woman. You went to Ethiopia and you share what you experience. Thank you.👍♥️🇪🇹👍🙏🏻♥️
You make me love my country i, I am coming back getting retired ❤ enjoy staying there , and once my son expresses when I wake tomorrow 😮I am going to see my own face and continue to say I will not worry to see other faces ❤ I feel for your kids they will see there own face , enjoy love you guys ❤❤
እናመሰግናለን!❤️🙏🏽 thank you so much for showing such beautiful facts of our Ethiopia, raising our kids in US and trying to tell them their root Nation is such a beautiful Country is so hard, but this video will be an eye opener for them🙏🏽❤️
U guys r soooo special, very happy to c u in Addis. I have officially become part of ur family! have a wonderful stay, hopefully, u will show z good side of Aftrica! ENJOY!!!
Awe!! I’m so happy for you and your beautiful family! You make me miss my home country ❤ I know it’s a transition from the U.S. to Ethiopia, but you seem to be doing well!!
This made me so happy! I’m grateful you guys made it there safely. What did you think of the Ethiopian food?OMG the school is HUGE 😱 I love your apartment.
We are a house divided. Right now half us love it and half us are going to have to learn to love it. I will say everyone’s stomach is adjusting like when we were in Honduras 😆
Thank you for sharing your life with us.i am glad you like Addis Ababa. Our culture is always to treat visitors, right? Make them feel like you are at home, which you are. The whole family looks like us Welcome home family.❤❤❤❤
Is the school ICS? That is a 40K/year school, your kids are going to get the most privileged education/experience. Following to see your experience, growing up in Addis we never got to see this side . For celery, there is a huge supermarket, about 20 mins away from the school, Queen's supermarket
Hija mia!!😂 Estas en mi tierra natal bella preciosa🇪🇹. No te confundas con hunduras que estoy mas cerca a hunduras que tu ahora mismo. Espero que te guste mi patria, mi amor y gente bella de ethiopia. Ya tienes mi like y un suscrito mas a tu canal. Un gran saludos desde la ciudad de panamá🇵🇦.
I just found you all. I saw your interview with H and Dee. I really appreciate when you have the camera forward. That way we see what you see. I have never seen Ethiopia before. I am curious, I love the food and that is all I know. I am now curious
Greatings family (Selam), It is great to see your family enjoying Addis. I am glad you are vlogging about it. I'm enjoying the content. The word you were looking for at the end is called "Kedase" . It is a how the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians warship. They warship using an older language called Geez, which is the predecessor of some of their languages. It is also the language that gives them their alphabets. Similar to how Latin is to the Romance languages. I suggest for your family to experience one of those services. There is a church called "Holy Trinity" It is a church that was built by the last monarch of Ethiopia. If you go early Sunday morning before breakfast, you get to experience how Ethiopian Orthodox people worship their creator. Ethiopia is one of the few countries in the world that gives you an opportunity to experience Christianity as it was in the days of Jesus Christ. Regardless of what your religious background is, there is a lot of wisdom in that. Unfortunately. some of those areas are conflict regions. I hope you get to see some of the areas that you could fly to. The city of Axum, Lalibela and its churches etc...
Everytime i see foreigners trying to find basic things in Ethiopia i want to teleport to whete they are and just give them a crash course on Ethiopia. The feeling of being lost in a foreign country is very difficult. I commend you for your optimism and gebral accceptance of Ethiopia. A warm welcome and as we say here "may God raise your children" (its a direct translation which essentially means may God always protect and provide for your children).
We wish you could teleport too!! LOL. Thank you for your kind words. It's been 2 more weeks and every single person has embraced us with love and patience.
The school that you showed us is that ICS?...WOW it has changed a lot, I attended that scool when it was ACS and graduated in the early 70's...I visited the campus in the late 80's and not much had changed. Loved the artwork, enjoy your stay there is much to see and expeience, I am looking forward to following you, I just subscribed.🎉🎉🎉Best Wishes to you and the whole family.

@@eotceotcthat’s definitely an Ethiopian flag color and not rainbow
@@MeaMay38
Actually you can clearly see orange on the bottom on the red transition and purple on the green transition. Regardless not a risk to take.

Welcome to Addis beautiful people ❤️ ❤❤❤ Enjoy.

I am a U.S. citizen currently living in Ethiopia. I was originally born and raised in Ethiopia. No freedom in usa bc police and crime.

Just wow! I was a Teacher in the US all over from 2002 to 2022. I grew to hate it so I left the field. This is a refreshing story.
I could no longer teach in America. I wasn't healthy at all. The job is unrealistic and they have taken the. humanity out of it.

Greatings family (Selam), It is great to see your family enjoying Addis. I am glad you are vlogging about it. I'm enjoying the content. The word you were looking for at the end is called "Kedase" . It is a how the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians warship. They warship using an older language called Geez, which is the predecessor of some of their languages. It is also the language that gives them their alphabets. Similar to how Latin is to the Romance languages. I suggest for your family to experience one of those services. There is a church called "Holy Trinity" It is a church that was built by the last monarch of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia is one of the few countries in the world that gives you an opportunity to experience Christianity as it was in the days of Jesus Christ. Regardless of what your religious background is, there is a lot of wisdom in that. Unfortunately. some of those areas are conflict regions. I hope you get to see some of the areas that you could fly to. The city of Axum, Lalibela and its churches etc...
Wow! Great info! I love the comments we’ve been getting educating us. Thanks so much! We will definitely check it out.
Everytime i see foreigners trying to find basic things in Ethiopia i want to teleport to whete they are and just give them a crash course on Ethiopia.
The feeling of being lost in a foreign country is very difficult.
I commend you for your optimism and gebral accceptance of Ethiopia.
