I think it would be fun to organize a fuck party in Addis again. It's been a while since I did one of these. Say. If I organized one for this weekend, how many would be interested? I can bring in all types of girls. With everything including BBBJ guaranteed. I rent a presidential suite in one of the old hotels in Addis in the middle of town. You'd each have to pay a fixed amount to cover all expenses including to pay for the girls. I wouldn't want price negotiations going on during the party and any reason for conflicts. My interest is in simply group mongering. I love watching these girls get nailed. I love it even more when it's some group nailing going on. LOL.

If there's enough interest, please let me know so I can get a move on.

I'll be in Addis from December 26th. January 13th, so if you're still there by then, let us link up. I'm definitely down for a fuck party, all included! Let me know which dates you're planning on so I can put in my schedule.

I'll be back Dec 6-9 for a short visit doing intervews. Was planning to stay at the Jupiter hotel in town. Any more details about your party time table?

A brief report from my recent brief trip. I stayed at a new place for me – the Caravan, which is down a side road off Mike Leyland near the top end, on the right going op the hill. This is a great little hotel. Very new, with excellent rooms and (for now) a good price. I expect it will become more expensive once bookings start to pick up. It is of course right by the action, and as I usually went back there late at night, and only the night porter was on duty, there was never any issue taking a girl back.

I tried a few of the street girls and they were all a bit disappointing in the sack. I guess they all get a bit 'battle weary'. However as eye candy many of them are amazing and initially at least, hard to resist. I saw one vision in white by the Atlas Hotel on route to the airport who was simply incredible. Tina's bar, down another side street off Mike Leyland was good fun with the usual groping and BJ's going on in the dark corners and a room upstairs if required. Early one night as I was walking down Mike Leyland street, waiting to cross a side road entrance, a car turned into the road which was full of smart looking girls, one of whom 'gestured' at me with her tongue. Intrigued, I watched this car then turn into a gateway a few blocks into the side street so I followed, to see a bunch of girls pile out of the car. It was the usual small courtyard but with a row of small rooms off it – then the gates closed. I can only think it was an out-and-out brothel. I did not have time to investigate further. The side road had a sign at the top to New Day massage if that helps, and the double gates were about 40 metres down there on the right. Other than that there were a few usual masage encounters. Allready looking forward to going back.

Ten days Addis – in a short report.

1. Met my girl from last year at Allah Park.

Shy (don't touch body parts before we are married) but in the bed she was wild. But she still didn't like my dick. LOL. (100Birr pocket money and a nice dinner)

2. Had a car for 2 days. (Turn right after Atlas-Inern. Hotel-opposite is the car rent place)

Paid 500Birr for the day and it was fun to drive in Addis with this old Toyota corolla. But in the end I decide to walk. Good for my condition and good for seeing the girls closer-like in Piazza, etc. Etc.

Found some nice ones in Kasancis and Bole.

3. H2o the disco in Yoli hotel next to Atlas. I just was on my I met this 2 girls on the street next to Atlas. They told me today is ladies night in H20. Friday-Saturday. I ended with one of them late at night in my hotel room. Perfect time with a perfect girl. Bolwjob, several fucks and the option to see her again. Gave her 400 for the taxi next morning. She was happy. I met here 4 ore 5 times. I spend my last night with her in Addis.

4. Piazza walk and there are still some diamonds in the side street. (200Birr short time)

5. Piazza again – another girl same place.

6. Met 2 girls from internet. One was shy and sweet – I brought chocolate from Europe and some sexy t-shirts. She was happy and no kisses only a coke and a sweet smile. Met her the next days for lunch or dinner. Very good English. Student. I will break the ice next time. The other one a Student in Photography and Video was sexy – but too shy to go with me to the hotel. We had a nice evening in Jimmy's Bar.

7. WHOW. I met Helen again. Skinny close to anorexia. LOL. She got another phone number. So I gave her two sexy shirts, and after a shower in my room she stayed for 4-5 hours. Blowjob, sweet fuck, and in the end she offer me her ass. 'Come here Good sex' I knew her from last times and I was happy to meet her again. 700Birr for ST/ (LT) , including Photos and some short videos.

8. Piazza again – just for a 200Birr fuck. After that I went straight back to the hotel – shower and a drink in Jimmy's Bar.

9. I told my girl from Jallal Park 'I'm back from Awassa' (LOL). She envied me to her place for a coffee.

Traditional coffee, in a 4qm room. Kisses and and some touching. I left. She is a student (Nurse). The room is 250 Birr a month. That's the other part of Addis, if you go away from the big streets in Haowllet or Kasanchis. 4qm was her room.

10. Spend my last day with my girl from H2O. Orange Juice, Vodka, some movies and sweet sex in my room 404 in Bole guesthouse.

Hope to be back soon.

Thanks for the info. Good Report.

I travelled to Addis for 4 days near Easter time earlier this year and I have to say it is still a trip I have fond memories of most days when my mind wanders, despite the fact that it was a so-so experience in the end from a beginning that promised so much.

I flew to Addis on the early morning flight out of Nairobi (Ethiopian is a good airline I have to say, by African standards). Bole Airport sits right on the edge of the city (almost feels like the City Centre given the fact the Bole area looks & feels like the the Commercial hub of the City). You could walk straight out of the airport and into what feels like the heart of the city. In terms of what I came for it was the centre of activity in any case.

Having looked up various hotels and the difficulty in coming & going with whomever you please at nearly all of them, I sought other avenues of accommodation online and stayed in a flat right on the Eastern edge of the city in a newly built and vast suburb called Ayat. Any further East would be in Hyena country (which I could hear in the night from my flat). It was dirt cheap (less than 600Birr a night) and I had the use of the flat owner's car for another 600Birr a day, a bargain because Car Hire is cheap in Addis from local firms (very few International Chains there for whatever reason) but always come with limited daily mileage, usually about 75km a day. I knew I was going to do more than that getting round the city so that was a great deal.

The bummer about the flat though, I had virtually no running water for the whole duration which would almost certainly preclude me from staying there again, it was not fun at all. Easy to forget just how important water is to everyday life, especially when you've got virtually none. That said, apart from the nosey (but friendly) neighbour just next door who seemed to spend her entire day & night on the balcony, I was indeed free to come and go with whoever I pleased, and I did!

I've always had a fascination about the beautiful women of Ethiopia so I knew I was going to enjoy this trip come what may. I just had no idea how 'available' so many Ethiopian girls really are. The country has an exploding population (due to hit 100 million within the next 10 years) and at least half of that population is under 25 so that is one hell of a lot of hot Ethiopian women. There are very few opportunities to progress in a very poor country like Ethiopia so, as over so much of Africa, numerous local women use the one thing they know will help them get by, their unique looks (Ethiopian men are very, very lucky!). Having read so much about how proud the Ethiopian people are and how aloof the women can be (to an extent they certainly are) , I was astounded at just how many passes were made at me by many, many women in Addis of young to middle age. And a good proportion of them were outright stunners too.

I drove over every corner of Addis. It's a much safer place than Nairobi and the high walls & fences, often barbed wire-topped, Askaris, night watchmen & security you see all over Nairobi (and in much of Kenya's towns& cities) is largely absent in Addis, although you obviously see much more of it in the most affluent neighbourhoods.

Only one place I did not feel safe even driving through windows up at night was the area around Merkato (Addis Ketema area) which came closest to the kind of destitution you see in so many parts of Nairobi. It had a wild feel to it that I felt nowhere else in this big city and felt that was really not a place for a Ferenji to be. Aside from that, Addis is a cleaner, safer and better laid-out place than Nairobi in my opinion.

Having done a lot of research elsewhere about the night streetlife of Addis, I was keen to see just what / who would be knocking about on the streets of Addis. I read Ethiopian newspaper reports of a street prostitution epidemic in Addis (and many other places in Ethiopia) which is hardly surprising given the overwhelmingly young and poor population of the country.

It turned out those newspaper reports were absolutely true & hardly overstated. Certain parts of Addis are literally crawling with young women on the streets at night. I imagine part of that is the fact that it's a pretty safe place so it was not unusual to see women standing by themselves at regular intervals along certain streets which you rarely find in Nairobi (they are mostly huddled in small groups as much for their own safety as anything else).

The main areas for finding babes on the streets I found were:

Bole (head and shoulders above everywhere else in the city for me) , the sheer quantity (and quality) of women pounding the pavements in this area was head-spinning, on my first night there I counted close to 150 different women out & about in this area alone and it was much the same every night I was there.

The area extends from the Airport in the South as far north as Debre Damo / Kazanchis, and from Gabon St in Cherkos as far east as the Meganagna Roundabout (where the Bus Station is). Certain streets like Gabon St, Ghana St / Namibia St / Medhane Alem / Cameroon St, Cape Verde St, obviously Mike Leyland St, Haile Gebre Selassie St / Equatorial Guinea St & Djibuti St are the main hunting grounds and you will not have to go far down any one of these streets before you spot someone willing, from almost as soon as the Sun's gone down until it rises again (when whatever's left on the streets scarpers hurriedly home-which was quite amazing to watch, almost like they'd melt if they stayed out a minute longer!).

On Mike Leyland St on both sides of the road you will literally walk into the women there, there can be so many of them on the street, looking to entice you into one of the Christmas Lights bars or for a quick jaunt elsewhere (mainly Atlas Hotel just along the road).

When I was there in April Bole Road was all up and being re-done for much of it's length into the City Centre so with very little passing traffic the girls have stayed-off there presumably until it's done. I saw next to no-one on that street any night.

Nearby in Cherkos the Concorde is one of the few nightspots in town (mentioned so often on here) I often saw beauties walking down Sierra Leone St from town along there and all the women I saw walking along there to and from the Concorde still had the meter on and were still offering business (I spoke to quite a few of them).

You will also see babes all the way along Gabon St from the Bole Road to the Concorde (which I only discovered the night I was due to fly back, dammit!).

On the road going directly East from Meganagna Roundabout (not the Asmara Road but the one going arrow straight east towards Ayat) I often saw women along there too, more sporadically but there nonetheless. In fact, anywhere in Addis that I saw a bar or a collection of bars together, or some form of nightlife, there would be women out on the road outside those bars, sometimes just one, sometimes half a dozen, waiting to pick up business from pissed-up, randy Ethiopian men stumbling out the bars.

Another place like this I saw was in Gerji in the East of the city. There is one narrow road there that is full of Christmas Lights Bars (less hectic than Mike Leyland St) and clearly for the locals, so probably silly cheap although did not indulge.

I saw little street action going in the city centre proper (other than Piazza of course) , ie. Along Churchill and Arat Kilo but know there are little streets tucked off to the side nearby that are lined with shacks full of ladies of the night. I didn't indulge in any of these places as they really didn't appeal and to be honest just wasn't necessary when there was so much on the open streets that was far hotter.

The area around Merkato is much like this too. Along Fitawrari Habte Giorgis St which runs along the northern edge of Merkato, there were a few of these shack-lined alleys running off it that were packed to the rafters with women although I saw other people there who really, really shouldn't have been there and that drove me out of that area sharpish. I will not say what I saw (perhaps the more perceptive of you who read this can guess) but needless to say it's not a niche market that any right-thinking, self-respecting man should ever even contemplate indulging in.

I drove round Piazza quite a few times but just found it to be very dark & not very inviting (whereas all the other areas of the city where women play their trade were largely in well-lit areas). I noticed it was perhaps the only place you could get what you wanted during the day too in terms of spotting women out & about. That said, one night I counted no less than 60 women out & about waiting for business in the small, tightly-packed area that is Piazza (it's all confined to quite a narrow maze of streets, better for walking about in than driving for sure). To be honest, having been entranced by Bole's nighttime attractions I found Piazza almost unappealing by comparison.

There were no other obvious areas I could see of women on the streets in Addis but, trust me, this little lot above added up to a hell of a lot of women in any case. This did not include actually going inside any of the bars / clubs I saw nor the big hotels (although I did go into one, the Sheraton-more on that later).

One observation I made was that in Merkato and, to an extent, in Piazza the women were more likely to be dressed in traditional Ethiopian dress than western clothing, which was the complete opposite of Bole & the other places in Addis I saw women out & about who were very much dressed in their Western finery. Different dress to appeal to different markets? Perhaps. The impression I got was that Piazza & definitely Merkato were the really destitute women who probably came to Addis with those very clothes from different parts of Ethiopia (urbanization is not at all developed in Ethiopia, the overwhelming majority of the population are still rural) , whereas the women of Bole et al are more city girls (many certainly had city street mentalities that I noted).

On my first night in Addis I was amazed this place isn't one of the top destinations worldwide for this 'hobby'. The women are by and large young (most in their 20's, some a bit older) , many were utterly drop-dead gorgeous (in Bole at least) , prices on first enquiry appeared to be very keen to say the least. However, by the time I left I fully realised why.

For starters, Ethiopian girls by and large do not appear to be very adventurous at all, nor do they feel they have to really get involved in what they're doing. It's almost as if the very fact they're in the room with you should be enough and their looks should be all that's required and little else. This runs almost completely counter to my experiences with Kenyan women, as has also been noted on here before who are by and large adventurous and amorous in what they do and in my experience rarely rush. The two approaches to sex from neighbouring country's people could hardly be more different.

And as has been mentioned on here many times before, many Ethiopian women do not offer Oral, at all, and for no amount of money. This is unique in my experience anywhere, and was a real downer as I'm quite an afficionado of a great BJ, more than anything else really. For me, on this continent, sex is just too damn risky so I very rarely indulge. A previous poster on here said the best thing to do was just ask them if they did Oral / Suck. I would say of many that I asked, only 20-30% said yes they would. And it was by and large crap. On that last point, this is always a game of luck isn't it so is much the same anywhere but certain places and with certain nationalities you know vaguely what kind of BJ to expect. In Ethiopia I can safely say I never found one great one, in fact only one even passably OK BJ & that was only salvaged by the fact she was seriously hot! This was a major blow (well, no it wasn't which I guess was the point!).

English is the number one foreign language taught in schools in Ethiopia now but you'd hardly notice. English is by & large spoken & understood very poorly in Addis (and other places I visited). Some spoke it well but I could count those people on the fingers of both hands in 4 days interacting with Ethiopians in their capital city, a major African city too (I heard no-one speak Italian at all-apparently that's mostly confined to the older generation or the other major foreign language in Africa, French). Ethiopia really is unique compared to so many other African countries, in this way & in many others. This is very different to Kenya where English is very well spoken & understood by even the most poorly educated of city dwellers (both in Nairobi & Mombasa and others besides). And even if not, Swahili is a very straightforward language to pick up basics and remember them. Amharic on the other hand (the main language spoken in Addis alongside Oromia, the two most widely spoken languages in Ethiopia) I found impossible to remember & learn to live with. Granted, I was only there 4 days but I have picked up language basics in other places with relative ease compared to Amharic. This made talking to the women sometimes quite an ordeal and led to a few misunderstandings that cost me.

Hygiene (this is a topic that crops up on this thread a lot) , or lack of it from some was also noted. What stuck me in Kenya when I arrived, almost anyone I'd been with would either shower beforehand or afterwards, often both of their own volition. This was not often the case in Ethiopia despite being close to a shower most times.

Prices always started at 500 (sometimes 1000) Birr and I had to work my way down from there. With some it was fine and they played the game as you'd expect. With others it was a take it or leave it offer, nothing less. Same in many places I suppose but perhaps also reflects the fact that the women of Bole are most definitely of a higher order than most other places in Addis, and they knew it.

One woman I saw outside Concorde raced over to me in the car and offered for $100! Another good reason I didn't bother to go in there. That said, the other women I saw & spoke to walking away from & towards Concorde were asking much what was being asked in Bole so clearly she had her head in the clouds (and compared to the others I saw on the road to Concorde she weren't all that either!).

Out of 5 intimate encounters I made in Addis over the course of the 4 days (I didn't go nuts). Two tried to outright fleece me. And both were very sexy women (although I noted both were older than the average girls out there). The first one I saw on Cape Verde St and she was hot. Almost Mediterranean in looks with lots of wavy black hair and a curvy body (although I noted too late the horrific state of her teeth, her body & looks were a perfect distraction. In future I will have to ask Ethiopian women to smile just to check, ffs!). She agreed BJ (by the way, not one of the small percentage of women who did do Oral accepted BBBJ, not even for double or more-I asked just to see what their acceptance point would be-let's just say the few who even entertained it didn't really entertain it at all 'because they demanded at least 2000 for that!). We agreed on 200. Or so I thought. She spoke next to no English so hand signs etc were having to do. At the end of what was a pretty crap encounter, she looked incredulous when I gave her 200 and motioned that we agreed 500. We most certainly did not and she wasn't getting it. Now at this point, you find out just how tough these women can be and whether they start inviting others (usually men / guards / mates etc) to get involved. Despite the fact I held out for at least 20 minutes, she didn't so I knew this wasn't going to get heavy. However, the runt took the door key & kept a hold of it (definitely not the first time she's done THAT!) until I coughed up. I sat there, she sat there, then we just sat some more, seeing who would crack first. However, I really didn't want to be sitting in that room all night and not have control over access to the door key. I said 400 was all she was getting, take it or leave it. I started making for the bed like I was going to sleep just to prove the point. She bit. I left, twice as light as I thought I was going to be leaving but it's hardly a fortune. Didn't turn around, just stormed off. She didn't cause anymore crap behind me but the experience was well & truly logged.

The other occasion was a similarly sexy, Mediterranean-looking babe with everything curvy in the right places (and fantastic teeth) , that was further up the same road where it becomes Mike Leyland St. She offered to take me to a place just off the main road behind some gates that was nothing like I've ever seen before. It was a frontyard of someone's big house full of car ports, all separated from one another by huge tarpaulins including the one you drive under to get into a port. It was secure, it was stupidly cheap (I think it was 25 Birr) & well away from prying eyes. The price and even the service wasn't the issue here (she was initially great) , but it all one major put-up job to distract as I caught her spare roving hand diving around for something to have away. That was it. She was getting out of my car as soon as was humanly possible without fuss. Thankfully, I was one step ahead of her and everything was well & truly out the way & hidden to begin with so it was a futile search for my wallet / phone, etc, as she found out. I didn't make a scene, I just made out like I'd actually had my happy ending, which she couldn't believe as there was no sign of one. I said I only dribble a tiny amount (if only she really knew) and I was done. So, let's get going I said! She was properly miffed and pissed off clearly that I hadn't given her enough time to search for my wallet / phone etc. Making a scene and getting all heavy on her would not be the done thing to do when I was behind huge guarded gates (who for all I knew were guarded by her mate / partner in crime) , so I played normally & it worked. Yes she got her money (200) but, again, I'm not one for making scenes in a very foreign country to me where I'd already discovered a streak of stubbornness / inability to listen amongst some Ethiopians that I encountered almost as soon as I arrived in the city's airport!

I had screened any potential women I was going to spend some time with to see if they were in any way suitable for me to take back to the flat (which, even though the streets are dead of cars after about 10pm other than cabs was still a 20 minute ride away driving quite fast). I was glad to say my instinct with these two was correct, as they then went on to prove. I didn't want to even think about what trouble they may have caused me in a very quiet block of flats at night in a remote part of town.

Thankfully, the two I chose to take back proved to be just fine. One was an amazing looker who was just an outright 10. She was at the bottom of Cameroon St just before the Ring Road & close to the airport. She had that classic mixed race look that the hottest Ethiopians have and had a gorgeous body wrapped in a tight blue number. Anywhere else she could've charged what she liked for her time. She charged me 200 (I gave her another 100 afterwards because she never rushed and I realised the journey to & from the flat was a long one only whilst driving there). I wanted to give myself the option of being able to do the same again with her before I left and I have no issue at all tipping those that are intent on providing a great service & I didn't want her to be put off by the drive either. This one was for the flat. Her name (streetname) was Freedom (I quickly blocked out the name of the thieves once they were dropped off). Just to have a woman so gorgeous sucking on the end of my tip for a good long time made up for the fact that her actual technique was nothing to write home about. I still haven't forgotten that image now & was almost worth the trip alone.

Except it got better, but only at a price this time. I had contacted a few women on AfroInt before going so that if things didn't turn out well on the street, I had more options to play with. The three who got back to me were (by their pictures) , typically beautiful Ethiopian women and I was keen to see if any of them actually matched that photo. The one I went for I met at the Sheraton (the plushest hotel in the city) and it was a lobby meet, which was perfect because if I spied a minger I could turn on my heel & she'd be none the wiser (by this time in Addis, I was pretty sure she would be the girl in the photo as I'd seen even more attractive women than her out on the streets). She said to meet her at the hotel as she at a friend's birthday party there. BS. I knew before I got there what I was dealing with what with her being at the plushest, most expensive hotel in the city but I thought what the hell. Just as well I did. She was exactly as the picture, only even more gorgeous in the flesh. She was beautiful & very sexy and the picture did not lie at all. Having chatted for a while in the lobby I realised she was a great conversationalist too, with great English. It was nice just to talk to someone there you could hold a chat with without the need to resort to hand signs. We went downstairs to the hotel bar. I knew it would be full of Ferenjis with ridiculously gorgeous Ethiopian girls everywhere. And that's exactly what I saw. Yet few I saw were any more stunning than the woman I was with so she is clearly in good company. After waiting an age for service we headed back upstairs for a drink, just a couple of coffees. She was very well educated, degree, kid of course & divorced. She was a complete delight to be with and we were hitting it off famously. Sat there for a couple of hours talking & laughing. I knew the issue of cost would come up soon so I was ready to have to walk away if necessary having spent a wonderful few hours with her which would've been a wrench but I don't work for the UN et al so money is most definitely an object. In the end it wasn't as painful as I feared it would be and I know what those girls downstairs at the bar charge for the night (thanks to this website) , which is paid without issue as it's not a problem for those clients. We agreed on a price and set off for my place. It shows that sometimes you get what you pay for as this was an experience unlike any other had in Addis by a long, long way. This is clearly a place where you can haggle on small beer with a gorgeous girl on the street but if you delve a bit deeper pocketwise the experience will exponentionally rise with it. This was on my last night so I had seen a lot of what the city had to offer by then. After I took her back to her place in the early morning (in a nice part of town so she clearly had bills to tend to) she said just on the drive to my flat earlier she fantasised about me pulling over and giving her one there & then. In the car, out the car, wherever. She was a racy one & the time spent with her was worth every Birr.

So, a really mixed bag in Addis. Gorgeous women in abundance but bad service also in abundance, but if you aim sights a bit higher and take a slightly weightier wallet, the rewards are there to be had.

Regarding other issues, the food is just to die for. We get great Ethiopian food in Nairobi (a big Ethio community there) but the food in Addis is of a whole other order, and very cheap too. Driving in Addis is not as mad as driving in Kenya (for a start, Ethiopians don't drink like Kenyans do, who are legendary in the region for it) and you don't get utterly sloshed drivers climbing in their cars (and not put their lights on at night) like you do in Kenya. That said, Ethiopians love using their car horns, a lot! It drove me completely insane and I had to get out the city for a while to escape the ridiculous unnecessary din it produced when just about everyone uses their horn for everything. In Kenya nobody really uses their horn, they just drive like nutjobs and you have to anticipate everything like a game of Chess because you won't hear a sound beforehand. I saw no traffic lights anywhere in Addis or beyond. Major crossroads. No problem just toot your way through the mayhem. Still, at least in Addis, drivers use their brakes on occasion. Police? Well, I got stopped by a traffic cop and pulled over as, silly me, I weren't wearing a belt having yet just left a cafe. He promptly took my front number plate off, held on to it, gave me a form to fill in entirely in Amharic (which uses a unique alphabet that is utterly bewildering) , told me to drive to the Transport Ministry to pay the fine (on the other side of the city) and I knew it would take hours once I got there, having dealt with Ethiopian officialdom at the airport when I arrived (utter nightmare). But, hey, this is Africa so I knew what was coming. Well, it's certainly a lot cheaper than other African countries that's for sure. 200 got me my plate back. I was expecting a lot more than that!

Addis (Bole) Airport is a total nightmare. I got stuck there for 4 hours before I could enter Addis (you have to pay the Visa in Dollars or Euros, nowt else will do). The ATMs were not working at my departure airport (should have got it before I know) and none would take my card for whatever reason at Addis Airport and it is a universally accepted card. I was being sent from pillar to post as no-one would help me. After an extremely expensive phonecall (about $25) at the Airport to my bank in Kenya to see if it was working OK (it was apparently) , an Exchange Bureau guy finally took pity on me and lent me the money so I could pay for the day Visa which would let me out the airport, get to an ATM in town, get back, pay him back & buy another longer Visa for the duration of my stay. Apart from that very helpful guy the many others I dealt with at the airport couldn't give a stuff & didn't want to know (apparently there are historical reasons for this in Ethiopia going back to the days of the Derg dictatorship according to numerous online accounts (including the BBC correspondent in Addis for years) when no-one would dare take the wrap / responsibility for anything & paper trails could go round endlessly waiting for someone to grow a pair, which was never).

Whatever you do, make sure you have the right currency with you to get your Visa long before you get to Addis, like I didn't. My experience of Addis Airport didn't end there. When I arrived for my flight back, there was a massive power cut & the whole airport (packed at this time) went into complete darkness. It took the back-up generators a few minutes to kick in by which time the place was in chaos. All the boards were operated by Windows XP which took forever to load up and I found myself waiting in the wrong queue for the wrong check-in desk, despite the fact it looked to all Ethiopian Airlines pax that it was one long generic queue for all their flights that evening. It wasn't. About 15 of us missed the flight by the time we got through the interminable wait at Passport (at least 45 minutes). My gate's flight was now going to Shanghai ffs. We were all booked on the first morning flight though and it was evident at the desk for doing this that it happens a lot at that airport as hardly any questions were asked and the staff knew exactly to do. The Airport is trying to post itself as the gateway to Sub-Saharan Africa. On this evidence even a burnt-out Nairobi airport would be better suited to that!

Despite this, I would go back in a heartbeat. Addis is a hell of town in some ways (make sure to go up Mount Entoto to the north of the city, the views are fantastic day or night) , the women I could crow about for days, the frustrations here are much the same as any you encounter in Africa elsewhere, the people are friendly, the city is by and large safe & it's cheap as chips (apart from mobile phone usage which is very expensive, restrictive & a pain to get an Ethiopian SIM card, and the internet is even worse).

I drove south out of town one day to Debre Zeyit to see the Volcanic Lakes there & there's a couple of lovely places you can sit by one of the lakes (Bishoftu) and sip on an Ethiopian beer (they're very good) or an Ethiopian Coffee (usually a Macchiato) which is very good universally and silly cheap (it is after all the birthplace of Coffee). And the women on the drive down there on the roadside, usually waiting for a bus, were numerous times gorgeous and often giving a drive-by eye as they were in Addis (I got numerous numbers during the daytime that way which I ran out of time to explore but the numbers piled up!).

It may not up there with Thailand, the Philippines, Brazil, the DR or even on a par with Kenya, but it's well worth a try as the women are worth going a long way to see in the flesh. I've never in my life seen such gorgeous street women in such abundance, and worth remembering that even everyday non-pros are, more often than not, just as easy on the eye if not easier than what I saw in Bole at night and as I found, just as up for some fun & games. Love the place!

I'm sorry but I don't understand your colloquial expression. What do you mean precisely?

If my question doesn't disturb you, can I ask how old are you?

Thanks

If you like pretty ladies that have some decent derrière then Ethiopian women fit the bill. In fact, I just finished watching an episode of The Price is Right game show that had a pretty Ethiopian lady as a contestant (she made it to the show case showdown but bid too low). Seeing her and the pics here will keep ADD on my itinerary for the end of this year (I have to fly on Ethiopia Airline or lose a few thousand Sheba Miles).

But one can find more women with derrières better shaped than Jennifer Lopez in countries like Togo, Ghana, Congo, Kenya and Uganda (last time I visited Uganda, I had my girl meet me at airport as we passed by Entebbe beach and I still almost got whiplash from checking out another lady wearing tight jeans sporting an even better ass than my girl. She did not notice as I had said something that made her laugh and double down toward my lap in laughter!). But even though I am a middle aged black man who loves a lady with junk in her trunk, facial beauty is still very important to me which is why I am still dating a slim Kenyan model.

Do you want big onion booties? Uganda, Congo and Kenya have what you are looking for there.

Which of those countries that you know girls love more sex?

I have had marathon sex sessions with ladies from all these countries, but they were all non pros. Pros tend to want to control the proceedings. I have had a chick I picked up out of Casaurina Nomad blow me but then stop and say we need to take a nap. When I did tap that ass an hour later, I beat that pussy like a cop beats thugs. That being said, I have had some decent pro experiences but the few horrible ones make me minimize my exposure in that arena.

Women from all those countries love sex. It just depends what you seek. Do you want big onion booties? Uganda, Congo and Kenya have what you are looking for there. If you want slim model types, you can find those in francophone countries, Kenya and Uganda.

I am so close to marrying some African chicks, and what I mean by that is I am so close to finding way to live in Africa for part of the year.
