Here is our raw and uncut exklusive review about what we really loved and hated about the land of origins Ethiopia

Kish my world
Kish I think you are one of the best African you tubers you are blessed to have a beautiful Habesha Empress please treat her like a Queen she is an angel from Heaven You Are Very Blessed
Kish is not one of the best youtubers😅 He's the best UA-camr💯
Thanks for the kind words
Dude, she is not Habesha. She is Somali. She looks like Ethiopian though..
@@ethiopiannewendeavor8867 she is Habesha Kish also mentions this Kish is a Legend in my book
A few comments:
1. About the tea cup size. People usually ask "can you add me one more". Usually in Ethiopia tea is served one time...but coffee, you may have three of them in a single cup 🙂
2. About the waiters and waitress language issues:
Even if English is medium of instruction in school, there is a huge gap of English language skill. Hence, when someone start speaking English, many get scared/shy and want to go away from the scene to avoid misunderstanding or not to feel ashamed. It is not because they don't want to serve you. (In rare cases they may think you are Ethiopian(because you do look like Ethiopian, and you don't want to speak the local language, that time they may feel angry/sad)). Hospitality is indeed getting better.
3. About the transport system: There is all option but still people are lining up for public transport. Hence, there is a long way on this. It is because you guys were using local Ubers like RIDE or FERESE. Hence, if you tried public buses or mini buses(blue mini buses), there is a shortage still.
4. About the beggars, the government put a policy to make street begging illegal. Even drivers will be punished if they give at traffic lights... but, there must be a big strategy to minimize it....some elderly use there kids to make money out it...
5. Staring at people...hmmm...Keep in mind people are not at all comfortable of recording videos...and they may stare at you if you do so and ask you to stop it...Anyway, that staring is there 🙂
6. Electricity/Water... For your information, 60% of Ethiopians don't have access to Electricity and Clean water....that is almost 60 million people... the water/electricity problem/shortage in the city is related to service quality. The government must solve this. We export electricity because we need $ not because we have extra 🙂...Maybe after GERD dam is completed it will get better....
7. Internet is getting better...I was there a year before and as you said best option is unlimited monthly internet Ethiotelecom...like below $20...
8. People should be smart where to go and shop if in budget
9. Life generally is ok for those with $ or Euro...but for the local it is extremely difficult...
10. About the supply at supermarkets, Ethiopia still didn't open it to foreign investors, and local supply chain sometimes has shortage of supplies do to different reasons $ shortage is one of them....But, I saw many big supermarket such as Shewa who are very big...keep in mind also the trend of going to supermarket is not yet a habit for all...people go to markets such as Markato or mini markets at their nearby...hence, not everyone goes there....
Good summary...Thanks for visiting Ethiopia. Comeback!!!
Geze..you should be our Mayor on next election🎉 What a patriot view bro..thank you 🇪🇹
@@rob21112 I would rather continue loving Ethiopia and advocating for Ethiopia to be better, greater, and united... when you are helping from the side you can serve the country longer and better... In Africa, democracy is far from reaching, hence, it is difficult to get embedded with governments...I would rather prefer being helper, supporter, advocator for better services and life of the people. Thanks for the good words!

Hate is a strong word in a negative way. Please don't use it often.
As an aspiring traveler, I really appreciate this content. I like the way you both explain your experiences from your personal perspectives. Very realistic and helpful 😊
Thank you for visiting our country and for your feedback. I hope government officials listen to travellers like you to make the changes needed to attract more tourists. Ethiopians are misunderstood just because of many can’t express themselves in English.
One of my dream destination, Thanks Kish, you giving me confidence as usual.
You can do it!
@@kish_myworld Thanks bro, words of encouragement mean a lot.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Very interesting video, guys.
Welcome to the land of origins, Kish & Jacki. The observations here are quite accurate: regarding beggars, the locals are generous believers & often donate, which encourages beggars & children to come out. For tea, if you need more, order a double tea, though it will still be slightly smaller than a Kenyan cup. As for English, few people speak it, & they often avoid using it to prevent embarrassment in front of their friends. It’s best to have a local language speaker with u whenever possible. Hope u enjoyed your time.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You explained it well!!specially the way we drive and habeshan stare
Good work guys, I always tried to blog but I can't find enough word to talk about everyday
Kish & Jackie, good job!! I would say Addis has the best weather in the world. No need for aircon in Addis Ababa. Always moderate tempreature. Thanks
Very informative. Your vlogs are worth the listening time
Appreciate it
Wow Jackie. Your hair looks totally different! It's beautiful!!
The staring game is unmatchable in Africa 👁🗨 👄 👁🗨
😂
Just discovered your channel and it's quite interesting!
Keep up with the good work. Peace ✌🏾
Peace
@@kish_myworldKisk visit the comment section 😎☝🏽
This video is interesting ❤❤
Thanks
As an Ethiopian, I agree with 95% of what you've said. The power outages are indeed due to poor infrastructure, like the cables and transformers. However, one thing to note is that exchanging money at banks isn't practical because they offer a rate of $1 = 57 birr, while the true value on the black market is around $1 = 120 birr. So, using cards or banks for currency exchange means you're getting a much worse deal.
So you are encouraging illegal activities
That’s illegal brother , what are you doing ?
hello kish your the best content creator in east Africa
can i chart with you please.
Hi, yeah, man, kish/Jackie. Very interesting topic, but let me ask you a question: What does Habasha mean to you culture ethnic or country? I know what it is, but in your perspective? You guys, great, keep up.
Thanks for sharing your experience Kish my world! Of course, Ethiopia generates a surplus of electricity but the frequent electric outages are attributed to an old distribution grid that needs intensive upgrades to cope with the demand. Regarding water, the supply doesn't meet the demand of the city.
Kish, the wind is making so much noise
Kish and my lovely beautiful girl Jacky 😍
Is she Somali?
Yeah…I think most kids and disabled came from other town coz coz of a civil war,the War still happened…very sad
Love you and your girl. Live in Canada but born Jamaican ❤❤❤❤❤we need better roads in Jamaica and Nigeria in lekki lol
Big up
As an Ethiopian myself I agree 100% regarding beggars
We are not colonized so don’t speak foreign languages…. But still trying …. One more good advice street food specially tourist area it’s must needs… I think they’re working it… but specially about water Electricity absolutely you guys correct they have to do something…. 😔 …. thanks guys for your good advice…👌🙏
u are right about the electric supply but about the language its like going to a country with its own language so they are not expected to speak in English
Of course there is Both water and Electricity in Ethiopia but the reason is due to civil war in some areas where the electricity and water is coming form or due the reason that they are still bust contracting most of the cities. Guys electricity is a serious problem even in a country like France and South Africa.
Electricity in Ethiopia is abundant, but the transmission and distribution infrastructure is aging. They need system revamping
I lived in both Addis and Asmara for 4years, my first culture shock upon arrival was the food (enjera) at fin fine hotel, but later became addicted to enjera
Begging is at another level and also young people trying to crook male foreigners, inviting them for some cultural dances or trying connect you to girls.
meskel square looks nice nowadays
that is constuctive feed up.
Morocco is pretty advanced i the big cities. The roads are good and they have metro's and trains.
Did you return to Ethiopia or is this an old clip?
Old
Brother Kish let me be honest with you, we love you. But most of us Ethiopian men are very jealous when we see any foreigner with an Ethiopian girl. 🤭 Even though we don't have a biological relationship, whenever we see our women dating a foreigner, the thing that immediately comes to our mind is the fear and negative message of She's taken away, she's gone. 😂 And the funny part is always We are not willing to accept. Bro, I'm not trying to brag on you but you are among those few lucky! Cheers 🍻
Oh trust me I know about this lol
If language was that much a problem even at restaurants, why didn't you use a language translation app which may have helped? It is true in Ethiopia we do not have a culture of eating in an open space and while walking.
Eating food in the street is seen as disrespectul and shameful...
The girl keeps saying I am habesha but not Ethiopian, where is she from? She looks Ethiopian for sure.
Eriteria
Just so you know, some people on here insulting you pretending to be Ethiopian are not necessarily Ethiopian...having said that your observation about Ethiopian kids being persistent, I don't know man, I have lived in Nairobi before and compared to how dangerous Kenyan street kids are Ethiopian street kids are like Angels ...I was gang robed by kids in Nairobi...
So Ethiopia street people are not insulting?
No snacks or street food? do people not get hungry in Ethiopia?
lol
Kish Ethiopia does not export Electricity to Uganda. As a matter of fact, Uganda exports Power to Kenya.
Actually in Ethiopia 86 different cultures . Who ever said Ethiopians have similar culture , that person is totally liyer .
Never make fun of sameone who does not speak English it means they know another language and always remember English is a language it's not a measurement of intelligence ok and you must know Ethiopia never ruled by any Europe country or anyone that's why and by the way I appreciat you which country are you
I didn't expect an Eritrean to love Ethiopia. Jealousy, minority complex(they regard us as their former "colonizers")the only African colonizers😅. Hate is a sickness.
Yes English is a problem in Ethiopia; Only local language! where you get people with good English is in institutions;
Unlike tiny Eritrea, Ethiopia has 120 million population second largest in Africa. So don't be surprised to see some economically deprived or lazy individuals. Addis has the population of Eritrea and more
Absolutely right ✅ I am from Eritrea 🇪🇷
barya
Yourself
Don't say that.
Here are some facts
Ethiopia is "successfully" supplying energy to its neighboring countries of Sudan, Djibouti and Kenya, earning over 1 billion U.S. dollars from electric power export in 18 months up until the end of the previous Ethiopian fiscal year that ended on July 7, 2023, state-run Ethiopian News Agency quoted Water and Energy
Not Uganda
Tack
For what perpose to use hated you don't know
Get your facts Ethiopia doesn’t sell electricity to Uganda
So you think I just made This shit up?
Check we are Uganda is ready to supply South Sudan
Uganda's main source of energy is biomass. Regarding electrical power generation, hydropower accounts for about 84% of the total installed capacity of 822 MW. The actual total electricity capacity is 550 MW and the country's peak demand is about 489 MW.
i dont like only u say for ethiopia "love and hated"why only use for ethiopia?
They stare @ you because they dkn't exoect tourists to use train, bus..public transportation . They think all tourists are here to jndulge luxury experience. Not use the same transport locals use. Use a Limo!!! ha..ha
They should know there are also budget travelers present 😂
You pay for meskel square? this is unbelievable
Yea I was shocked
Ethiopia is a big money grab
we don't speak English because we never colonized by the English speaker countries, you actually supposed to be surprised but i don't blame you don't know how it feel to be a free man 😂
(Mostly pasta ) U tuber you are our pleasant habesha was irritated when you speaking about poverty degree in Ethiopia streets But your report majority IS NEGATIVE, you must understand all this countries have nationality belongs in them as such EGYPT, QUETI ,ETHIOPIA ETC, ALL citizens feeling humiliated even though it is a Fact.
Truth is truth
Wtf, the guy talks like he had to go pee. And the lady, she is actually quite dignified. What a difference?!
stay out of ethiopia. Barya
ዝም በል እስቲ አንተ ደደብ አንተ ማን ሆነህ ነዉ🙄
