I never expected it to be like this!

Effer · September 9th, 2006, 12:28 AM

It looks like a very nice city!

***Xusein*** · September 9th, 2006, 02:18 AM

Great pics...

Addis Ababa is a very interesting place...I have a cousin who went there (transferring to go to the UAE) for a while....coming from Somalia, he was shocked...he said it was the most beautiful and modern city that he ever went to...

For Mogadishu, Addis is a model.

1st Question: Is that hebrew on the storesign?

2nd Question: Are the pictures photoshopped? Because they look awesome!

StormShadow · February 13th, 2007, 04:49 AM

Looks like the Ge'ez/Ethiopic alphabet.

It could be photoshopped or it was taken during sunbreak of a rainy day.

Carver02 · February 19th, 2007, 06:04 AM

That's Amharic/Ethiopic on the sign. Almost all signs in Addis Ababa are in Amharic and English.
