Hi Nuke,

1) Addis has various gyms for all age/income groups in many locations
2) The internet is improving significantly since the introduction of EVDO, a wireless internet system. I've been using that now for more than 2 years and there is no significant problem
3) Both private colleges and government Uni's are available and hanging out with the like minded is not a problem, the people are very friendly.

Cheers!
