greg,

very good report indeed. i think hookers in addis want to be come rich over night. you have to stay firm with price and always negotiate before the deed.

good luck!

i've been in addis 2 nights now.

firstly i earlier asked a question re wifi enabled hotel rooms. i have managed to find somewhere with pretty decent in room hifi at a non extortionate price.

it's the meridian hotel on bole rd (about 10 minutes in the direction of tow from the airport). it's not the international french chain just a medium sized hotel ripping off their brand. they claim gthey only had a suite room left (implausible) and were asking usd 78 per night, but came down to usd 58 per night. room is very spacious with large comfortable king sized bed, frdige, decent satellite tv, breakfast and clean bathroom. the taxi driver took me to a couple of budget options first in the usd 20-30 range, but they were really not very pleasant unless you are on a tight budget. given the convenience of in room wifi its a good option for those with a laptop.

addis is a very sprawling and not particularly charming city. unlike other large cities it doesn't have a concentrated old quarter, tghings are very spread out and taxis will typically charge foreigners $1-5 (generally they will ask for 5 and you have to bargain down if you know its a short distance.

culturally it is "different" from the rest of africa, different language though most of the young people speak tolerable english (particularly those hoping to make some money from foreigners.)

some of the girls are very good looking with model like half cast features, figure wise there is a variety you can find nice slim girls but also plenty that are overweight. if you are coming from europe or the us you may be impressed, but if like me you have travelled extensively in eastern and southern africa, asia and south america you may conclude that the prices are unwarrantably high and the attitude and service are very poor compared with girls in say kenya or uganda. of course i've only been here a couple of nights and hopefully i will have some better experiences in the next few days.

on the first nighgt i went to the memo club off bole rd. it was saturday and therefore absolutely packed. there were an equal number of guys to girls. the guys being amixture of tourists, expats, chinese and locals. pretty much all the local girls there are hookers. quite a few good loking but none really stunning. the asking price for freigners is 600 birr (60usd) for the whole night. they will generally come down to 500 birr without much prolem but it will take time to get them down to 400 birr (at least if you are anewby foreigner). i took one and she gave good service for an hour. then she started calling a friend and came up with some excuse that her freind didn't have the room key so she had to go. when i said i didn't believe her she suddenly said that she felt very i'll and so had to go home, again i didn't believe her. i said if she wanted to go she could take 250 birr but she was only getting 400 birr for the whole night. eventually after a lot of complaining she left with 250. tonight i ended up in a nice genuinely ethiopian nightclub 200 metres down bole rd from the meridian. actually it was a fun place, i was the only foreigner so unlike other such traditional shows in other parts of africa this wasn't just put on for the tourists. typical ethiopian food takes a bit of getting used to. it will generally come with injera. this is a large (initially rolled up piece of tef (local crop) a bit like a pancake but it looks like stale tripe. you are supposed to unroll this and then pour your food eg a stew onto it then tear bit off and wrap chunks of meat up and eat it (all with your right hand). anyhow in these places you will notice a rep001tering of pretty young woman siting in ones and twos nursing a beer or coke. they are freelancers and you can sit by any start a conversation and see where it goes. generally they will speak adequate english. ethiopian kids (at least in addis) all now learn english at school and in senior school some subjects such as science are taught in english as is most university education. the very beautiful slim one i chose to sit next to was pretty relaxed and friendly. i asked if she wanted to come to my hotel and she again started at 600 birr this time short time. definitely foreigner prices. eventually she came down to 300 birr (30 usd) for short time but 2 shots. when she got back to the hotel she was pretty indifferent in bed and after the first time started getting dressed. we argued and she claimed i hadn't mentioned 2 shots etc etc (complete rubbish we had discussed it in some detail. so i said if she wanted to go she could take 200 birr and if she wanted 300 birr she had better get ready for a second session. she started complaining so i just took her bag put 200 birr in it and took it out of the room, then pulled her out of the room and locked the key. she banged on the door a bit then left.

i think the message for newbies in addis is that you may well run into this sort of behavior, and personally i think you need to be firm but fair in dealing with it. the fact of the matter is that 200 birr is very good money in africa. i don't know what office girls get here in addis but in nairobi (a richer country, they get about 8 usd a day if they are very lucky with decent qualifications.),

the attitude i have encountered here in addis contrast hugely with my experiences in kenya and uganda over the last 3 months. a pretty girl in uganda will ask a foreigner for 40-50, 000 ugs (about usd 30) for the whole night. for that you can expect wildly enthusiastic sex including bj s 4 times a night until you want her to leave in the morning. in nairobi the price for similar all night service is 1500-2000 kes ((about 22- 30 usd) for similar as much as you can take service. on the kenyan coast you are talking 800-1500 depending on the season. this is for very good looking girls, obviously for less good looking girls the rates are quite a bit lower (conversely if you are new in tow and don't know how to bargain, you may end up paying more.)

so far my impressions are that addis is an interesting experience if you have business here or are travelling around. i'm sure if you were her for a while and put some effort into it you could find some attractive and enthusiastic girlfriends (probably a bit brighter and more sophisticated than other parts of africa), but if you are looking for easy enthusiastic sex at good prices then kenya and uganda offer better value, unless you particularly want girls with more european /middle eastern features.

We are waiting.

Don't forget your "Casio" and try to use manual mode this time. We are looking to see some sharp results of the black beauties.

Enjoy the trip

Hi all,

Just wandering if you all would be interested in organizing a mongerfest in addis. Here is what I have in mind:

We check into the presidential suit of one of the midsized hotels in (alternatively arrange this whole thing at someone's house which is preferable if we can find a host)

All costs are shared amongst ourselves (drinks, room expenses, tips, bribes...and of course payment to the lovely ladies of addis)

I will bring all the ladies...you can give me the types of girls you like...or invite whomever else you want. I am shooting for maybe 2-3 girls per mongerer.

Since I am traveling in about 2 weeks, we may have to do this very soon...anyone interested, email me at addismonger@gmail.com

Happy punting!

Club Platinum only gets 1 mention on ISG (by Member #2001), and is supposed to feature ultra-expensive hoes (1000-3000 Birr!). Their web site says it’s the hottest and biggest disco in Africa. Anybody been there?

IMHO: Club Platinum is not nearly the biggest or best disco in Africa, and there were about 3-4 times as many guys as girls the few times I've been there. It is very nice, big and the waitresses are smokin hot, and the hotel upstairs has great rooms, but unless something has changed recently, it's not the best spot to find women in Addis.

Hi guys,

I'll be in Addis for a short 3 days visit at the end of June! Any nice looking girls contact? I won't have a lot of time to go the clubs (Memo, etc.). I have some wonderful memories from my last trip there in 2004!

Thanks

I took advantage of a Lufthansa promotion to buy a cheap ticket from Brussels to Addis Ababa for 499 EUR. Just finished RTTFing in preparation for the trip. I should be landing in Addis Ababa on Saturday, June 7 and will be in Ethiopia until June 17. Haven’t decided whether I will spend all my time in Addis or head up-country. Depends how much fun Addis turns out to be.

If anyone else will be in town and wants to meet up, let me know. I have plenty of punting experience, but this will be my maiden voyage to the Dark Continent.

Hi afrolover,

Let me see more photo, it is nice. did you get her at hotel?

Hi Joe,

i have posted the pix I wanted to post. So - sorry - I don't have more to share! i met her through a site called AFF, which has provided me with good and randy contacts throughout africa. give it a try!

Cheers

I've spent the last 3 months in Kenya and Tanzania and am now ready to move on (my ticket takes me to Nairobi then Kampala then Addis. Wondering how much time to allocate to each. I found the situation in Kenya good. Most girls are available for 1000 KS (Euro 10) for all night. The standard is a bit mixed, but as it's off season there are not many other western guys here. I hear mixed reports about Addis. The girls have a reputation for being much prettier than elsewhere in East Africa, but it seems ore difficult to find girls on the dating and other net sites. Also hotel costs seem likley to be more expensive than here in Kenya where one can find nice rooms on the coast for 10 Euro. Any advice as to decent girl freindly budget hotels in Addis and places to meet girls?

Going through my archive I found some more pix of 'Fewen' which you might enjoy. She was really one of the randiest women I ver met. Especially the assfucks with her are unforgettable. She not only took my dick deep but once she rode me it was like a steamhammer. Pity that she has moved.

Hi afrolover,

Let me see more photo, it is nice. did you get her at hotel?

[Joe Komsa]

Hi,

Afrolover2000, thnaks for your report on Addis / Ethiopian, lady. P/s let me see if you have more photos.
