The proposed me a job that salary range between 2500 dollars and 3000 dollars + ticket and 1 bedroom apartment.

Thanks

Might want to explore or research this at Internations. Org They have a fairly active general purpose forum for expats in Ethiopia. (May need to register but can do so free of charge)

Does anyone know where Helen 2 Massage is located?

It is not the one by the hotel but closer to Bole Airport.

Tonight I went to New Day Massage, in Chechnya. If you're at the top of Chechnya going south, pass 3 Days Int. Hotel on your left, then keep walking until you see the sign for New Day on the left. Not sure that I recommend it, though. My first experience in Addis, so I don't know how it compares.

Basically, I spent time with a very short, very beautiful girl who gave an excellent massage, followed by lackluster sex in which she refused to kiss and refused oral. From what I'm reading here, that experience may be common.

I will keep testing these places and reporting back. Also I will RTFF, but if anyone has any new Intel on massage girls who are good at everything, please let me know.

I'm trying the famous Wow Massage tomorrow. We will see if the service lives up to the hype.

I've been to Addis before, in the Piazza area, never went to Bole. Sorry to ask a simple question, but after reading about 50 pages of reports, and looking up at least 7 different spellings of Chechnya / Chechneya / Chechynia etc on google maps, I still haven't figured out: what and where is Chechnya?

It's the local informal name for a red light zone area with many many girls. Broadly speaking it's on Mike Leyland Street from the Atlas Hotel up past the Yoly Hotel and up until you run out of noisy beer shacks or as far as you dare go up that street. Ask taxis for Yoly hotel and take a look around. Gets going later in the evening, say 10pm onwards.

I don't know Athiopian people. I don't know but I have a feeling Ethiopian girls are not funny like other African girls.

About funny I mean: playful, joking, good-humoured, cheerful. Etc. Etc.

I'd like to get some infos about this question please.

Thanks

I just did a three country tour of Eastern Africa. Spent a few days in Addis and must say the girls there are more beautiful than other African countries (say compared with T'znia and Kenya). I stayed by the Piazza (Itegue Taitu Hotel) and I had read lots of reports of craziness, pick-pocket, etc. I am happy to say that in the 5 days I was there I never felt unsafe and no-one hassled me. Infact, I went to Bakal in Piazza many noghts and there were about 6-10 WGs there. I saw the same ones each time I went. There are LOTs of girls on the street after 8-10pm on the streets in Piazza.

What I did not enjoy is that these girls don't dance. They are just busy trying to get customers. I went to Jimmy's on Satuday evening (9ish pm). Full of guys. I was bummed I missed out Saturday night at the biggest club there behind Jimmy's. Basically, I got really bored in Ethiopa. Everything spread out. No shared Vans after 8pm (?) so have to catch taxi's at night. I think if you have time, don't care too much about spending money (don't get me wrong. It's still a very cheap destination compared to say UK / US) then Addis is great.

My mood just wasn't there in Addis so I did not indulge (the walls in Taitu Hotel are SO thin that I can hear the person coughing next door). I had done LOTs and LOTs of research but I was just too tired to execute the plans after a long 10 hour journey.

I loved the food there. One of the best in Africa. People were very friendly everywhere! I was sitting alone in a restaurant on my first night and a group invited me to join them. Great conversation. Similarly in clubs / bars, all staff were very friendly and attentive. Once again, the women in Ethiopia are one of the finest / hottest and if you have the time, initiative I highly recommend at least 7 days there but I need a place where I can do things during the day and night. Which is generally hard to find in Africa (unlike say Pattaya, Thailand. Or even Colombia and DR, etc). I went on to Mombasa from here.

I came three days ago from Juba / South Sudan to Addis. What a change!

Electricity, running water, decent restaurants!

I stay in the Regency hotel (not associated with the Hyatt R.) 80 USD / night with a good breakfast. Big, clean room with a big bed, free internet. No hazzle to bring company.

On Saturday evening I went to Memo Club. It is a club full of hookers. It is like shooting fish in a puddle.

Some of them are really nice and not hard-core. If you buy them a drink they have all the time in the world to talk to you. Only the music in this club is really loud.

Going prices for ST are 500 Birr = 20 Euros.

BUT: some people have discribed Addis as the Bangkok of Africa.

Addis is a slum of 4 million people with some decent hotels and some good restaurants. The city is so full of filth and litter like every other Central. African city. At present time is Monsoon and you have a mixture of water, mud, excrements, garbage and discarded plastic bottels on the streets. For an European gentleman this is certainly not a place to spend a holiday. If you want it cheap and dirty. Then this is the place for you. People are really nice and friendly but remember: you are in the black heart of Africa and nobody is your friend. All they want is your money.

Thanks for the info. You make it sound not worth checking out. How are the looks on these women? Like Dubai York hotel?

[Member #4349]

I stayed there for 2 days. No problem bringing in some babes. One night they did not even check the I'd cards. Clean hotel. Safety semed ok too. Enjoy.

Thanks, will try and report back.

I`ll be visiting Addis ababa starting next week, around 18 jun, and staying for two weeks. Is anyone there around that time who is interested in mongering together?

Will be first here but I do have experience from other cities.

Be also aware the the poliferation of HIV / Aids is very high. About 40% of the prositutes are infected. Therefore wear the business-suit.

Comming back to the girls: they are not the very best in the sack. Missionary is what they do, a BJ is already a "favour". I have experienced much better bed-partners in Africa. The Kenya-girls are a shining example.

Please do not ask me to report anything about South Sudan, there is nothing to report exept misery.

Back to Lisbon tomorrow via Instambul! Graças a deus

Anyone tried the following hotel.

www.3daysinternationalhotel.com

Its just up from Chechenya and looks to have a sort of western style via a local company. The location is great for a quick evening pick up. Would like to know the conditions they impose on taking a guest (or maybe two guests) back, extra charges? Checking I'd? Or is it good old African girl friendly attitude?

Looks like the Intercon for me.

Would be delighted to keep in touch. And I see from your post that you're planning a trip to The Philippines. Do let me know if I can either help with recommendations or even meet there.

I'll be in AA in August and will definitely let you know exact dates. Be good to catch up.

Cheers,

All three hotels you mention are GF, but maybe sometimes an I'd required. Not in my personal experience. You will be charged if they stay and have breakfast (not extra for room ).

Sheraton usually has a few hanging around the lobby and bar. Hotel has an in house Disco. Best Thurs. Sun. Swimming pool more family orientated at weekends.

Hilton, has the gazebo bar by the swimming pool and on occasion some freelancers in afternoon. Great pool. The bar in lobby always has a few hanging around. There is a late night bar near reception where the girls hang out for business and outside, within grounds is a coffee shop, with some available.

Intercontinental, early evenings in lobby bar or wine bar on mezzanine level. Night club, Club Voltage. Roof top swimming pool. Have had a few contacts there.

I think Hilton and Inter are better bets and the Inter has the best room rates and in general VFM for meals and drinks. Inter also located a 5. 10 min walk to Hilton with a few cafes and and hotels en-route (Radison Blu ). Opposite Inter an outside bar and as you are on the edge of Kazanchis, you can walk to several small bars, cafes etc within 5 mins. All hunting grounds and of course the ladies taking a stroll in the early evening.

Remember, staying at these places gives the impression of funds, so you may have some surprising rates at first. There is also a bigger influx of visitors from the Gulf these days and that distorts the market. They will tend to stay at all three, but mainly Sheraton.

Although a home base, my business elsewhere in East Africa. However am in Addis on a frequent basis. Keep in touch if you wish.
