Posts: 2Going to Eritrea in December 2013
Hello guys,
I have read the whole blogs from the beginning. The only thing what my suprised was that the blogs stopped in somewhere in 2011. Has somebody recently been in Eritrea? Are the described cases like currency declaration, hotels and bars to pick up chicks are still the same or something has changed?
Thank you.

Posts: 5Visiting Asmara
I will be visiting Asmara in late June, and seeing that this thread is almost 2 years since the last posting, I'm wondering if any of you would be willing to shed the light on the scene of Asmara? Mainly, I'm coming to see the wonderful Art Deco architecture of Asmara as a tourist, but I'd be happy to greet the locals and get to know what Asmara's all about. So any latest info about hangouts would be appreciated!

Posts: 250Yes, under declare your hard currency and never change it yourself, the girls will
Hope the currency is clear now, what you declare in hard currency when you arrive is compared against what you cashed while there and if it doesn't add up to what you have left over when you leave, you can get trouble. All of this is done on paper (what you declare, what you cash into Nakfa) I strongly urge you to under declare and put the hard currency in your crotch, they don't Xray you just your luggage. I never was XRayed. The girls will gladly change your currency and get somebody to change it for you. I guess you have to trust the girl.

I was worried about strip searching because I carry a tube sock that goes around my calf. I always carry this simple piece of cloth with the bulk of my money. I was thinking of hiding maybe a $100 bill in there and say I just over looked it. If they don't strip you down, then can you just outright lie and under declare? It seems like they have a trust system if they just ask you what you have.
I asked my Eritrean friend about her Eritrean friend who got caught with extra currencies, how did she get caught and she said they saw the money from the x-ray system. They fined her and kicked her loose. I was concerned after reading the incident with the tourist that gave euros and was almost jailed. I have a bad habit of giving US dollars along side of local currencies.
I don't plan to spend a lot since I know my friend will insist that I stay at her family's place, but I will still bring good money because that is how I roll. I would rather just give them (the lovelies) a good amount of Nakfa and not have to worry about pissing off any official. I am probably only going to go there once-unless something magical happens and then I want to go back.
They say I look like the Pres. So maybe I should be getting some free play. I am just going to experience the people and their culture and if I get any action then that will be an added bonus, I am not trying to conquer the women like I do in other countries.

If you come as a tourist : the critical moment is when you ENTER in the country at the airport.
You are not stripped! But in an african desorder, you have to declare on a paper the currencies you carry with you. A stamped receipt of your declaration is given back to you and each time you will change strong currencies against Nakfa (at official exchange offices owned by the state; or in some authorised currency dealers hotels) ; your precious stamped copy will be stamped with deduction of currencies officially exchanged;
By difference, when you will leave, the customs at the airport will not strip you, but ask you to show your remaining currencies that you are fully entitled to bring back home.
If you cannot show these currencies in hand; it is the proof for them that you exchanged money at half rate on black market. As currencies disappeared without an official exchange!
Then fine (?) or jail (?) or call at your embassy. And in any case you might be blocked to miss your flight (as my embassy told me: once a group of tourists of my nationality visited the country and gave here and there tips or gratuities in euros. The consulate had to plead that it was mistake of simple tourists not currency smuggling. And they were blocked several days!)
So never give currencies as a gift to anybody EXCEPT the currencies you underdeclare when arriving in the country (so I did to my girl friend last time dividing by two my mongering cost. As she might change my currencies at black market and for her it represented the double. Personnally I never changed in blackmarket in the streets and do not advise to do it as it my be a police spy!)
The technique is to UNDERDECLARE when you arrive (and show exactly the difference at customs when you leave. You will not be stripped: if in fact you have more remaining currencies because you would have been especially reasonnable. As was my situation with my sweetie at USD 10 a day, no problem I just showed the exact difference and hidded the remaining in my pockets!)

Posts: 250Is there a double standard for natives and foreigners?
Absolutely with Eritrea showing the worst extremes. Everywhere in Africa there is a 2 tier pricing system where foreigners get over-charged compared to locals since they don't know what the local prices are. On top of that, my 1 year in Eritrea was nothing but 'backwards nationalistic racism' where the elites (Eritreans at the UN, landlords etc) would tell you Eritrea is a 'peaceful' knowing full well that 1% of its population escapes to Sudan to get out of the lack of freedom and torture and imprisonment for anyone who gets caught escaping or criticizes the dicktatorship. And Eritreans can't accept any form of criticism. I've seen grown men (who have been in combat) behave like children anytime Eritrea is criticized.
Smuggle your dollars in, the going rate for long time is about 500 Nakfa, that's about $15 at black market rate of $1 = 40 Nakfa

I think I understand the situation about declaring your money, it's new to me, because all of the countries that I have traveled, they have never sweated me over my currency. If they don't do a strip search of you and your luggage, I guess you could hide a few foreign dollars and if they find it, maybe play dumb?
I tried to ask my Eritrean friend about this declaration thing and she wasn't really understanding. She went last year, so she is up to date on what's going on there. She did say an Eritrean friend of hers did get caught with a small amount of undeclared money (claimed ignorance, could have been sincere). Her friend was given a fine of US$50. Is there a double standard for natives and foreigners?
I know Kenya is the place to be according to the board, but I go with what drives my libido and Eritrean women out of all African women, interest me the most. I have found that you can find beauty in any race, so not to put down any breed of women anywhere. I probably would not go to Eritrea if I did not know someone from there.
Coming from the states, are there shots I should take? Is a visa needed? Thanks
