I am Mitch571, italian, and soon I will be moving to Addis with my family (my wife, daughter and...a baby to come :-). I am exploring the forum since a few days, and I really found a lot of useful info... Reading your opinions, my impression is that is a nice place to live, am I right? Safe, not expensive, many things to do... It seems to be a nice place for children as well!

Re: 5 good reasons for living in Ethiopia

I have always been fascinated by the older world sort of way things are here but chronologically I would list the following:
1. Great history within the African context and the rich tapestry of cultural heritage
2. Bureaucracy perfected to an absolute level - it is fun to go thru it and survive to narrate the tale
3. Living the natural way - why would Danes gather berries in summer and spent time in the outdoors?
4. Vibrant and rich languages which linguistically has no correlation with anything on the continent
5. Beautiful women contrasting the beautiful landscape marred by imported flora
useful info on Ethiopia Forum

Hi mitch571,

Here's a new Addis guide online that your users might be interested in from the International Community School.
