ADDIS - THE NEW FLOWER OF ETHIOPIA

by DAO - last update: Jul 13, 2008

THE DREAM OF MENELIK

Addis Ababa means ‘New Flower’. Emperor Menelik II ordered that his new capital be built here because it was malaria free, had fertile soil, water and wood for building. Today this is a metropolis of almost 4 million, Addis has it all. The great thing is that most prices for visitors are probably the cheapest of any Capital city in the world. You can do and see it all in this fascinating and busy city.

Please come and read my tips. There is a lot to look at. If you need any information about Addis Ababa, please email me and I and my local friends will get you the information.

All the best,

DAO

 Hi DAO ! Nice you bring me back to Addis by your tips. My visit there was too short to see and experience so much as you did. See you soon in Karlsruhe !

 Check out this error I just got: 3013 - "ERROR: DAO Error Encountered: Record is too large." when Exporting a SAS Dataset to the MS Access File Format

 I found the same thing... But then, I realized that they don't have "diet" anything, cuz unllike Americans, they are not gluttons, and I never saw a fat person the whole time, they seemed quite perplexed that we would actually need a diet drink!
