Addis Ababa is another city that is completely different from the stereotypical Africa one might expect when first coming here (if one doesn’t know Africa well…). I spent two days here before going to the Danakil Depression – one of the most (or actually the most, I think) vulcanically active areas in the world.

My room at Taitu Hotel Room. Quite spartan, yet this is a famous place being the first hotel in Addis Ababa.
