Toiletries & Medical Supplies:
Pack a few essentials that are also brand names like:
• Sunscreen
• Deodorant
• Moisturiser
• Make-up
• Tampons
They are available in Addis Ababa but expensive even by western standards. Outside of Addis you may not be able to find them at all!

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Why should babies be the only ones to have these hygienic wipes? I don’t know why, but the adult version of this fantastic travel product always seem to be more expensive than the kids version, even though what’s inside is exactly the same. You need to use your right hand to eat food in Ethiopia. Good luck to you if you are left handed. Sometimes a restaurant may be out of soap and having some wet wipes in your rucksack are indispensable. Also, your hand will be an absolute mess after you are finished and these handy guys get all the food off. There is also almost always NO toilet paper wherever you go in Ethiopia. Yep, handy wet wipes to the rescue. Because there is 100% tax on all imported goods and they don’t make them here – bring your own. I have seen them priced up in Addis Ababa at 3 times what I paid at home.
Wet wipes – don’t leave home without them!

Miscellaneous: Whatever you call them, you need one. Many towns and cities in Ethiopia are growing at a fantastic pace and sometimes the lights go out. It might be that a workman has cut something or, as the locals say, 'the Government sometimes takes it’. I would highly recommend one of the wind-up flashlight that needs no batteries. Quality batteries can be hard to find and you don’t want to find out you need new ones in a blackout. The pictures were taken in restaurants by me after the lights went out. If you are staying a bit longer, you may want to invest a few pennies in some candles and matches.

Hello Dao. Friends of mine are going to Ethiopia next month. I really liked your tip about the empty plastic bottles, and Yes: this month's Focus Magazine has also dismissed the Coriolis Effect as myth! Nice page here / greetings from Dubai / Jess :-) | risse73 Mon May 5, 2008 20:26 UTC
I enjoyed your Ethiopia page! I happen to love Ethiopian food & have gotten my fill not in Ethiopia as I've never been there yet, but in Los Angeles--around the Fairfax district--where there's an Ethiopian enclave with restaurants galore. Cheers! |
