Addis Ababa
I spent a few weeks there last April/May messing around with a UN airlift. As African countires go it's not too bad at all. A coptic Christian country mostly.It is safe and friendly, with a few decent bars and restaurants. Mobile phone charges are extremely expensive. Best coffee in the world, truly, apparently there are 10,000 different species of wild coffee plants growing there. Lots of ancient sites to visit around the country.Scenery is spectacular.Addis is very green and if you like horse riding, you can get them from the Italian Embassy and clear off into the mountains for a few hours....if you fancy a change for a while you couldn't do much better.
...enjoy.
