아디스아바바

Addis Ababa is one of those places that isn’t for everyone. If you like things neat, orderly, and stress-free, this city might drive you nuts. There’s petty crime, poverty, and a lot of inefficiencies that can be frustrating—like chaotic traffic where cars ignore lanes and sidewalks that are practically an obstacle course. But if you’re up for an adventure and don’t mind embracing the chaos,...See more it’s got a lot to offer. The cafes are super charming, and the food is amazing (though fair warning—you’ll probably get sick at least once). Daily life is affordable, the weather’s lovely, and you’ll meet a mix of friendly locals and expats. Internet can be hit or miss, and apartments, while modern and popping up everywhere, can feel a bit overpriced for what you get. Sure, some parts of the city are run-down, and the crowded streets can feel overwhelming at times. But if you can look past the rough edges, Addis has a unique energy and culture that makes it a really special experience. It’s definitely a city for seasoned travelers who don’t mind a few challenges to soak in something completely different.
