Ethiopia

[Kib123]

For those interested in venturing out of Addis, Hawassa is worth the time. A clean, well designed city, with a lake surrounded by some nice resorts good for hiding away. Not many tourist traps.

Massage parlors are just as abundant per capita as in Addis, especially around the higher end neighborhoods by the lake. The base pricing is also the same (200 birr / about $8. 50 for the massage). Extras can be negotiated down better than Addis, but not by much (200/300 for HJ / FS was typical). Many of the ladies are immigrants from Addis and they try to extract Addis prices from mongers.

On the downside, selection of ladies was a notch (or two) below Addis. Also, no place I visited had ladies sitting together to choose from. A (usually prettier) scantily dressed receptionist walks you to the room. Once you get naked, the real masseuse (almost always uglier than the receptionist) walks in. For this reason, you better stay in the room with clothes on till the real lady shows up so you can ask for another one, or easily bail if you don't like what you see. Or better ask to see the real masseuse before hand. I learnt this the hard way on my first attempt. I am laying butt naked, and the ugliest lady I ever met in a massage parlor walks in; big tummy, no ass, busted face. My dick went limp before it ever got hard. She, however, gave one of the best massages I ever had.

On the upside, every place I went gave the full h massage (45/50 min), and all were pretty good. No rushed service anywhere, and the receptionist always asked if I was satisfied. Maybe why the ladies tried real hard.

There's plenty of bars as well, but the ladies are just as hardcore as the Addis ladies, not my type at all. Good massage and extras for about $20 makes the EMPs hard to beat in my books.

Moto bikes are not very popular in AA I guess. For renting a car you see advertisements in town (sign posts along street). I once rented a car for about 600 birr a day; from Atlas Hotel walk into direction of town center after about 200 m turn right into double lane to Kazanchiz, go another 200 on the left side, other side you should find a car rent, its little hidden, about 50 back from main road.

International driving license should be fine.

Not answered e-mails?; well network very bad in ET.

Hello. Thanks to all the contributors, been reading back a few years and taking notes, now I got a good idea what to expect on my first visit. I'll be sure to report back on what I come up with, and I apologize that my first post here is a question. Hoping to get some advise on my little problem, please. I got my eye on a nice little AirBnb apartment for two to three weeks in November but it's in Kazanchz. I don't care about location because I figured I'd rent a car and go explore, as usual. There was a couple posts saying it's real nice to have a car and one named a company and said it was as low as $15 US dollars a day. Well, this is not consistent with what I'm coming up with. I emailed that place and got no reply, just like the 9 other companies I contacted. One did reply but said no self drive. All the search engines came up with zero results. And all the chatter on the travel forums say they make it very difficult and you need an authenticated Ethiopian licence.

So my question please, does anyone have experience in renting a car or motorcycle in Ethiopia, or have any suggestions, please? Separately, if I can not pull that off, I'll need a place closer to city center. Because I love walking, but not so much for transportation. And I'm not into taking taxis 4 times a day. I saw a couple names mentioned but I'd appreciate a reminder, please. Budget is an issue, as I'm traveling extensively, but not at the expense of living in a dump. Thanks for reading and advance thanks for possible tips on either of those.

Culture?

Yes you got it.

[DarrenGap]

Scenery? Girls? Culture? Work?

I am planning to visit Ethiopia specifically Awassa.

Does it possible to and Bahir dar both have lake and seems nice in theory.

My question is if it possible to stay for long holiday a month at each place or I will lose interest and get bored after a week.

Any thoughts?

Hi guys,

I am quite new to this and since I started this journey, Madagascar and Dar e salaam, I am hooked. Planning Addis next month but only for 3 days. So I need help in planning my itinerary of the places I should visit. I plan to stay in a hotel in Bole but would like to visit Piazza and others. I will appreciate if anyone can help me with my nightly visits to various places. Will be there from 9th till 11th.

Thanks.

This is the first time I am exploring ISG Ethiopia. Your report was a great delight, almost of literary quality. Some lines are quotable, and surely I will find occasion to quote them haha!

Thanks a lot!

I had an entertaining time, and lots of sex, although only with one girl so maybe not the type of report some here might be looking for. Anyway. Perhaps someone will find my experiences useful or entertaining.

If you've seen my previous reports you'll know I've often been successful with Tinder. Not in Addis. There seems to be hardly anyone using it there. I rather belatedly got myself onto Afrointroductions, and although I was not very organized by the time I arrived, early on Monday morning two weeks ago, I had responses from three girls to my introductory messages. Once I got myself online I found the cutest was also online, so we chatted a bit and agreed to meet up later in the day.

A very pleasant day with girl #1, which started with coffee, went on to the cinema, then dinner and a long session of asking each other indecent questions, did not lead to anything more; I didn't have anywhere to take her (for the first few days I was staying in a corporate training centre), she was shy to take me to her place, and I wasn't in any hurry anyway. For the next few days I was busy, but chatted with her in the evening by Whatsapp. At one stage I had her and a girl in Nairobi (mentioned in previous reports) chatting to me simultaneously, both masturbating, and I managed to get them both to come at more or less the same time, which made me chuckle.

In the meantime I got a bit more systematic in Afrointroductions, sent out a bunch of intro messages, and in less than 24 hours had about 10 positive responses. A couple of days later I was due to meet #1 again in the evening, but lost contact (she was a bit flakey about Whatsapp, and I was having major problems with my European SIM, had not yet got an Ethiopian one, and therefore couldn't send SMS). So I found myself alone in a hotel bar, chatting in Whatsapp with girl #2, one of the new bunch. She was a bit of a ball-breaker, not normally my type, but with a sense of humour I enjoyed, so I invited her to come and rescue me. She showed up an hour later.

Well. #2 is as tall as I am before she puts her shoes on, so in the normal absurd African girl heels, much taller (I'm not short). Slim, extraordinarily shapely ass, breasts you can't keep your eyes off. In short, she has spectacular presence. We quit the hotel with its awful band, went to a Texan place nearby and had a dozen mojitos for dinner, getting more and more raucous while the barman glared at us, then she suggested her place would be more comfortable..

Renting a car is a huge plus to travelling in Addis Ababa! Try Mekina.net found it to be helpful.

Non-pros and semi-pros:

It is possible to do something with a non-pro but that takes time and as stated earlier is more expensive. Women like to be pampered and strangely punished. Now by punished I don't mean abuse or being rude etc. It would take a long time to explain but under almost every repressed conservative girl is a wild thing itching to come out. They want permission through you to do that to a certain extent. Thus yes they don't do oral normally but believe me girls / women this side don't only want to escape poverty. They want to escape cultural demands and expectations. Thus if you find someone who clicks with you well, you can usually get a lot more out of it.

That aside I stuck with the rare gem though the crazy came with it. I enjoyed the ride each time. I will share digits with seniors I know. She was talking about going to swiss in 3 months but I don't know if that was / is true. But she is open to more business the final cost is negotiable.

A lot of emphasis has been put on this thread about how Ethiopian girls are pretty but offer poor service and no oral so to find a 3 holer that should be like finding a needle in a hay stack unless things are changing in Ethiopia. Interesting aspect you mention there about punishment.

[Ragnasson]

Yep, will be there soon. Keep in touch. We could meet at weekend in beer garden.

Try the famous Pinks Massage at Ethio. China Friendship road.

I can personally recommend the area around H20- Chechenya, Kansanchi's and of course Piazza.

As many tutes as you can handle, although the environment can be difficult.

Sorry my membership ran out and I want to renew using dollar bills which will take long time to do. So can't message you direct for now.

The day started casual enough with a visit to find "Take Massage". I ended up popping to "Sabela Massage" first just to see what was on offer.

I was met at the door by a pretty smiling Selam, so I decided to sample the hospitality on offer 300 birr for a Swedish massage seemed reasonable, after a quick shower, she goes on to provide a reasonable massage making sure to antagonize my private parts with slight touches, once done I ask for FS prices and got the usual run around, demanded 1000 bird, including the massage price, I declined in the end and went out to lunch instead.

Fast forward to 11 P.M, took a taxi from the hotel to club H20, it looked very uneventful so didn't stop there, ended up at Concorde instead which had a fair collection of good looking girls all eager to chat! Made a few new friends got a few phone numbers, but the girl I would have preferred was already with a Chinese guy, left at about 1 am loaded with phone numbers, got a cab back to the hotel but on the way there the driver suggested driving by club h20 for a "survey" of the land and there she was, tall; slim and beautiful with a tight looking ass that screamed "shag me" doggy style everyone she moved, I could take it no more, asked the driver to park and was able to negotiate 1000 birr for the night, I reckoned I'd get 2 shots out of her and was I right!

Back at the hotel, she signs the guest register, while I get some beers from the bar, went straight up with no problems, we both had a shower, I was so charged up I didn't need oral, she went straight to fucking me, and did she put her back into it, we fucked for an eternity as I liked it, and I think she enjoyed it too.

Woke up around 9 am and she had a quick shower, had one too after which I asked for morning treat, got my doggy in the end! Spent the rest of the day sleeping feeling totally drained. I hope to be up and about for Friday. Same routine, maybe rent a car, quotes at 350 birr a day with a 5 k deposit, open to better deals if anyone knows of them.

Also driving in Addis, I think I need a separate thread / forum / documentary for that! Manic!

[DarrenGap]

Been here 2 nights. What nice sights already. Staying off Edna mall, round the corner from Beer Garden!

Spent the first night at H20. Bit quiet as it was Easter weekend. Looking to try out some of the massage parlors next.

Late April in Addis, anyone around?

Also anyone recommend a centrally located budget-ish accommodation?

A sympathetic safe guest house would be fine.

Anyone out there?

[WhizzKid]

Heading over to Addis next week. I haven't seen anything recent on this hotel. Any intel on G / F status?

I stayed there a few times and basically OK taking a girl in. However I was always doing that late in the evening when there was usually just a night porter there. I'm sure you would not have a problem from the usual reception staff. Its just a bit of a walk of shame that's all. Nice hotel.
