  Pushing the bus (me in the middle)
by SirRichard
 
 

Taking buses in Ethiopia is a memorable experience. Something to remember, not only for the neck and back pain, but also because there is always something unique on each ride: once you get stucked in the mud and have to push the bus out, the next a cow comes on the way and gets hit, the next a tyre is broken, or maybe the engine...
Anyway, after all those hours and incidents you get to know your trip mates, in spite of the language barriers, and that makes the trip a real human experience.
Warning: if you have back pains or claustrophobia, avoid the buses!
