I appreciate it.
Ethiopia … luxurious coffees…superb long distance runners…resistance to European colonisation…inspiration to Bob Marley…
Africa’s powerhouse airlines…
I can't agree more👍🏿
Love Ethiopia as Haitian American i went to Ethiopia love it felt like home
I love tassot 🙂
Glad you liked it
The Tribe of Levi = Haitians! This is a hidden fact!! 👍🏾
The most respectful people, Habesha got so much respect for everyone,I wish them well with progression of their country's growths.
You are getting one of the best education a person can get through traveling!
100%💪🏿
Great presentation! Ethiopians are very warm people and appreciate your trying to speak their language. Their history is so rich. Wonderful Ethiopia!
So far I have traveled to 18 different countries prior to hitting 35 and out of ALL Ethiopia 🇪🇹 was my second in total, second on the continent of Africa and I love ❤️ it more than any country I have experienced. I am happy you are able to enjoy. It is special.
I have to agree. Ethiopia is one of my favorites so far.
I went to see my family for the first time in Botswana. Made my eyes water seeing all black people. I didn't realize how odd I feel in America🤣🤣 complete comfort back home. I'm moving when my kids are old enoigv
@@slyslife who hates the food?
@@RUTHLESSambition5 Yes, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 was so special to me. I am sure your children will love.
Wow really?! 👀…that makes me excited cause I’ll be going there in a couple of months. It will be my very first time in Africa 🙌🏾
Great video, I am from Eritrea but live in Seattle. The Afar region is actually north eastern part of Ethiopia not in the South. This region borders Eritrea to the north. In fact their is a region in Eritrea where ethnic Afar people live too. Looks like a fun trip! Safe travels brother!
@SLYsLife- another favorite of mine. Of course, as I'm Jamaican I had to visit as this country's ties to ours are very cultural. Ethiopia- beautiful people- beautiful country, DEEP culture. While there I visited - Merkel Square, the Museum of Arts n Science, Friendship park, and Addis Mercato market. Remember eating is a culture there and it's best to eat with others but I understand your predicament. I'm enjoying this vlog.
Yeah, I didn't know about the connection between Ethiopia and Jamaica - that was pretty interesting... and yeah, it takes time to meet people in any country. Continue to enjoy the vids👍🏿.
Yahd man here as well.. This is one of the many reasons I have Eithiopia as number 1 for my African travel countries. Isn't there a statue of Haile Selassie somewhere in the capital?
@@proverbs3133 Hail Up brother- RESPECTS one Yawd man to another. I remember visiting a BUST in Cannizaro Park and I think a statue was unveiled in Ethiopia by the AU in 2019. I haven't seen that but when next I visit I will. Love N Light King
@@ptseti Big upp yuhself bredda.. Mannaz, love and Respect King.. All Praises to The Most High God!! I look forward to this trip and I hope the people gravitate towards me well. Thank you for all the info you shared..
Damn bro! You in Ethiopia now?! I’m watching ALL these cause I’ll be going to Africa for first time in a couple months and Addis Ababa is my first stop. You just don’t stop! All gas no breaks 😂I love it 👏🏾👏🏾 ✈️🌎
Bro fell in love with a habesha babe back in the states and decided I must go to the factory! 😂 I feel you
"Princes shall come forth out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands unto God" -Psalms 68:31 KJV
Ethiopia, the home of the Solomonic dynasty, the cradle of early Christianity, one of the few countries in Africa that was never colonized by a foreign nation. 🇪🇹
Me and my boyfriend love watching your videos ! You just give off a very "in the present" vibe that I really appreciate and I love how you jump right into the video with the content. Keep up the great work Sly .
Eithiopia has one of the a richest histories in Africa and some of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to go back!
I can't argue with anything you just said - 100%
Ethiopia has one of the richest histories in Western Civilization.
In the Old Testament and Torah, no other country is mentioned more than Ethiopia outside of Egypt.
@@TrillEverything Ethiopia is the richest & oldest civilization in history. It's the cradle of civilization. The original Egyptians, Jews & Christians are the Ethiopians! And yeahup to what Hatian Vagrbond said, the most beautiful women in the world are in Ethiopia. I'm about to marry one, she's unreal beautiful. I'm Puerto Rican & as beautiful as Caribbean women are, Ethiopian women are right up there with them. Drop dead gorgeous.
@@biggalaxy9102 Some of y'all do too much when it comes to Ethiopia. 😂
@@TrillEverything ethiopian isn't a western nation lol.
14:58 not sure which it was but Ethiopia’s Orthodox christian church make these calls as well :) Ethiopia is a religious country 👍 love the vid
You are actually walking through the old Town of Addis. Addis Ababa Restaurant is one of the old joint serving traditional Ethiopian food. Piazza was the spot to be back in the days.
Ethiopian food is the best in the World. I am not saying this because i am Ethiopian. But it is reality. If you know how to cook Ethiopian food properly. You do not even get tired of eating it every day.
True, it has only been 5 months since i have got to UK, but i really mis injera that i go to london or Birmingham so that i can go to Ethiopian restaurant.
When I was in Addis Ababa I was tearing that food up. Ethiopia is in my top 2 Counties for food. For Coffee #1 and I'm not even a Coffee drinker. Nice video Brother!
I made my pride with the capital of Africa Ethiopia when the westerners are trying to limit the sub-saharan Africa to only oral tradition transmission. I said to them to not spread their colonial ideology here, because Ethiopia has writing, and has never been colonized. And for just this evidence I never receive any silly reply about this ideologically mind set. Yes Ethiopia, my proud. Keep up the good work bro.
Bro, I'm from Addis , born and raised. Currently in Maine, US. Haven't been back for about 4 years. Loved the tour. Keep it up!
How’s the weather there❄️😢
Ethiopian cuisine is incredible! What a great place to visit.
I am from somalia, used to live in Addis, Ethiopians are very polite and I love Ethiopian Ajera(may not spell correct)
Thank you our wonderful Somali family from your proud Ethiopian brother in Minnesota!!
Injera
What did you like about Ethiopia? Did you like it bc no one paid attention to you bc you blended well it made you feel safe? Tell us what you like /didn’t like.
Good for you brother! I admire your interest and taking your time to check out my home land that I miss so much. I hope some day it will be peaceful enough to visit because I am not limiting myself to only the capital city as I have so many family and churches I need to see. I will write down how you say thank you in Amharic. Ame-seg-nalhu ( Amesegnalhu) and to say hello you say ‘Selam’ enjoy yourself be safe! Enjoy the delicious food and coffee!
Thank You for visiting Ethiopia and pls in the future visit the northern part (Amhara region) where lalibela and other historical places are located. Amharic is the national language almost every Ethiopian speak it. Like you said orthodox is the dominant ancient religion most Ethiopians follow. Love the vlog pls continue tnx.
Love Ethiopian food. That restaurant is so beautiful.
You and me both👍🏿
Good of you to give shout out to major languages - Amharic, Oromo, Tigrigna, and Afar. Love your natural curiousity and adventurous nature. Great stuff man. Keep going!
Yeah, Sly! I was in Ethiopia in late September of this year for the Meskel Festival. I love this country.
I know it must've been crazy around that time
Sly, this is your brother Karl from the Rainer Beach area. I see you finally made it to Ethiopia, thats great! I love it, I'm sure you will as well.
Yo Karl! Yup, I finally made it and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
Piazza is the old city part of Addis. you were just walking and talking. Unfortunately you did not focus on the prominent resource that piazza is holding in her womb.What you have missed in your recording and narration is that,that part of the city or Piazza in Ethiopia or in Addis Ababa is a gold and dimond mine ,i can say . To you left and right side of the street you covered walking there are hundreds of shops selling gold and dimond plainely displayed by the windows as candies are desplaied in other common shops. Gold and dimond displayed in plain view ,never in other countries fr security reason. This proves that Ethiopia and Addis Ababa are safe for visitors. Man you have missed it get back and record ,buy also gold they will give you for less.
I really thank you so much bro for visiting and uploading this wonderful video of our beloved ancient proud Ethiopia 🇪🇹!! You're really skilled in everything Ethiopia 🇪🇹 from its fascinating history,foods,music to it's coffee,cultures etc!! You're a smart brother and do keep up your travels please! Greetings all from your proud Ethiopian brother in Minnesota!!
On top of Wednesday and Friday which is a fasting day for ten months throughout the year, currently it is a solid fasting season from November 24 through January 07 2023 we are fasting; no meat, no animal and no any animal products consumed. On Jan 07/2023 we do have our own Christmas holiday. I hope you will enjoy the holiday with Ethiopian delicious authentic cousins right there on its original spot.
An Ethiopia man living and watching from the Beautiful Seattle, WA
Cheers
🥂
You are truly adventurous,I’m from Ethiopia and living in Sydney,Australia I came here to study….wish you all the best in Ethiopia also whenever you go…
I m heading there in two weeks. I am from there but moved to US about 20 years ago. I have been back twice since and each time I visit there i would taken aback by the explosion of the city population. But Piassa looks the same as it was 20 years ago. Nice video.
Think they keep it looking the same to keep the historical-ness of the Neighborhood!
Another great video brother! I’m thinking of going to Ethiopia in a few months. Are a PCR test and Visa on arrival required ? There’s a lot confusing information online.
Nice video. I like Ethiopia because it's the only African nation that was never colonized and the only African nation that can boast centuries of Christian, Jewish, and Islam traditions. The country is rich in history and has been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Twelve in total,#1 in Africa). Another fact about Ethiopia is it has its own written alphabet and numbers. Everybody else in Africa uses Arabic or the Latin/English alphabet to communicate in written format.
Whoa! PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR LEFT HAND TO EAT! It’s considered insulting. Get a guide who’ll help you with cultural practices and customs. You are representing YOUR country and culture too.
Not a big deal. Highly exaggerating.
Im left handed though 😑
@@RonnieMyers777 it's fine no one will think less of you
25:36 the 't' sign is not missing, they purposefully removed it so that you can take a picture while making a 't' alphabet with your arms spread out.
Great video Sly! I was hoping you would make it there. I visited Ethiopia 2 times back in the 90's. Lalibela is a must see!
Oh yeah, that place is on the list.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos bro you aspired me to start traveling the world I'm currently in Thailand
Trust me, you won't regret it👌🏿
Most of the shop you pass by around piassa were gold shops
You also passed by #Greek Orthodox Church & #Armenian Orthodox church
It is the Ethiopian Tewahado church. Belong to the same branch but different.
The washing of the hands explanation killed me💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂but it's the truth, tho!
Man u r really so informed of Ethiopia,great. Enjoy this historic ancient country
Omg ur quite very educated. There’s lots of Oromos in Addis Ababa, I think u most likely seen/talked with one
unfortunately the shops all over the streets are beinf removed by this shit government for a project
I'm headed to Lalibela now. Watching your video in Addis airport it's 12/20/2022.
Thank you for visiting my homeland Ethiopia is rich in culture and history Our people are very Beautiful and kind .
This video brought back lots of beautiful memories. I wish I were there right now. Thanks for the video Sir!
Golden content Sly, I love your videos. You can also say Salam as a greeting in Amharic.
Looks like all the Toyota echo inventory is there
The diet must be low-fat...I don't see obese people. Nice tour. I want to visit the churches of Lalibela
💁🌹🙅👍💯
Oh I miss Ethiopia 🇪🇹 😢. The last time I went was 22 years ago .After that my father died and I never went back ever since 💔.thank you for sharing this video, it's just how I remember it growing up.the video brought back some good old memories.
This makes me nostalgic. Had the most precious time there a few years back.
Much respect to the entire Ethiopian people really loved the dressing keep it up ♥️🖤💚
I see you Champ.......... African to the World........
Only country I would wanna live in on the continent. You're supposed to stand in the space where the "T" should be, with your arms outstretched to form the letter "T". js
🚥 RASTAFARI 🚥
🇪🇹🦁🇪🇹
Brother , you are energetic ! However, as a Traveler , You didn't impress me! at all! You are a black person who doesn't even know King Menilik! Who fought the Italians !and won! You have no idea about king Hailessasie, who was one of the leaders of Africa who created-The organization of Africa Unity! You said you won go to- LAlibela - but who is king LAlibela!??? Bro? The other thing is AMHARIC - is the base historical language of Ethiopia! Before Amharic we had an ancient language called-GE-EZ- As English has a written script! Ethiopia has its own ancient script! But also on your way to LAlibela you might see a -LATiN- borrowed writing especially in OROMO speaking regions, this letters were artificially created by OROMO Tribal politicians ! Due to civil unrest, to divide Tribes! It's not native to Ethiopia!
It is called Lalibela brother
I do not like Ethiopia.The people there are great but I do not like the leaders of the Ethiopian government.
Name a country where people like their government .
@@abuhaile6517 This story is about Ethiopia .Do you see that ? It is not about every country.That is why I did not say that their are other countries that have people who like their government because this story is not about that it is about Ethiopia not 100 other countries.You sound unreasonable.Your not a real Ethiopian.Abiy Ahmed the political leader of Ethiopia has killed many Ethiopian citizens and has even killed children in Tigray.Do you like a government that kills and starves innocent children and adults.Abiy Ahmed killed over 600,000 civilians in the Tigray conflict not to mention rape.In fact Abiy Ahmed violated the international human rights in Tigray which has the potential of war crimes being charged against Abiy Ahmed that he committed in Tigray.
@@elihudcarter9943 I am not Abiy's supporter. I can see you are a supporter of TPLF and I understand why you are mad at Abiy. History tells us governments come and go. Nothing is permanent. But, why is it only Abiy who is responsible for all the deaths? You make it look he TPLF was sitting and watching while Abiy was killing people.
23:09 this messed with me real good.😂 All jokes aside, though, Ethiopia is beautiful and there's lots of attraction sites!
Oooo.... Nooo... The hand washing sinks for eating are waaay separate than toilets!
If they don't have separated sinks, they bring you water, soap, small basing to collect the hand washing water, with clean towels on their arm for their customers to dry their hands.
Lovely place, I love Ethiopian traditional dress and the music..
From the US but live in Addis. I know exactly where you were. FYI: They teach English from 2nd grade and a greeting is Salamno for men and Salamna for women. BTW: Keep up the good work, my Brotha and safe travels!!!

@@addisababanazareth1525 Ameseginaleh!! Thanks for the correction.
My country is ethiopia🇪🇹
The "T" is not done because the want us to take photo stretching our hands out and make T. Great video from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Ah ok..thanks for the tip
You in my home country no way!!! Make sure to try some Ethiopian food bro.
Nice video! I miss Addis when I watching this vlogs! Keep going brother!
Thank you brother for visiting Ethiopia. I hope you will tell good things about Ethiopia to brothers when you get to the U.S.
Welcome to the horn of Africa sly
And please visit Somaliland Hargeisa
I fiker Ethiopia, the country and its people are beautiful
Ethiopia Addis abeba has a good climate all year round.
new sub here i am glad you visited my birth country that restaurant called Addis Ababa cultural restaurant one of the oldest one oh my gush the memory and seen the ppl my eyes's watery thank you
Love your videos man. What camera do you actually use for recording?
Dud only the Orthodox Christians don't eat meat on Wednesday and Friday, there are many religions in Ethiopia Islam, Protestant, Catholic, Wakefeta and so on.
That monument you didn’t know the name of is called ‘Yekatit 12 Monument’. It was erected to commemorate the martyrs killed on 19 February 1937 during the second Italian invasion. On that day, they massacred over 30,000 Ethiopians, in retaliation of an attempt made to assassinate one of the Italians commander.
Bro..Amharic is the easiest language in the HOA ...you just gotta get yourself aquainted somehow my man ...thanks for the tour you gave us.
21:05 that monument is for people who got massacred by Italians during 1935 - 1940 invasion...it is called Yekatit 12...It is the month and the day the massacre took place..
I think the missing "T" in Ethiopia was meant for you to stand in that space and make a "T" formation. Thank you for the boots on the ground experience.
ah ok..makes sense😅
Exactly 💯
Just subscribed and you made me laugh the way you pronounce Thanks in amharinya 😂😂😂.
I am somali and i have problem pronouncing that word.
I visited Addis Ababa two times and loved the city and the people.
BUN is my drug
AliBaba or Lalibela?😆 Bro you are having a hard time with your Amharic but it is what makes the experience memorable..
I hope you’ll have the chance to visit my country of Somaliland across the border. Most of the TH-camrs that visited like it and as another brother from Seattle. I recommended if you have time to do it, please visit the coast of Berbera. 🎉
Because of your videos I know where I want to visit in africa now.. thanks.
You're welcome and I'm glad the videos are helping.
On the side the Toyota Hiace van at 15.48 is says Konetyö KO-MI Oy. So its former Finnish vehicle.
😂’or you can hold it thug style ‘ you are very entertaining thank you for your video love it
Hey bro♥️👋👋👋
I am from🇪🇹💙
This video is so good, I feel like I can say I actually visited Addis Ababa. Thank you.
It looks absolutely mouth watering. And it's worth the walk.
Enjoying your content! Funny, another person I follow on TH-cam, she just got to Dakar, and she’s had a bit of trouble with her Airbnb, and how some aren’t at the address, as given. He was also surprised by how dusty it was along the roadside. Well, I saw how dusty it was on your video. So, I’ll be prepared. 😁
Thanks and yeah, the sand everywhere surprised me also, but it wasn't like that in the more "upper class" areas. So, I'm sure they could do something about it.
If you stay in a cheap area expect that !!!
nice view though i think some body tells you wrong information coz i dont think if its be 50,000 native language even all over the world
How are you supposed to film yourself washing your hands 😂😂😂
Where in the world are all the big booty girls? Highly disappointing. Just kidding...good video man.
Haha they're in Nigeria , we are more skinnier on the scale
@@rediettadesse2828 nah they in South Africa 🇿🇦 trust me😂
Nothing has changed around Piassa. 8 years since I left but in this video, it has only gotten beat up and worse. Where's all the change and cleaning up Abiy has been bragging about?
Wow 🤔out of so many Nice & interesting places in Addis Ababa why Going through the Getto & shacks to end up to a Museum 🙄
Hahaha 😁I think this guy still an amateur TH-camr need lots of experience! #justsaying
For is the how you said the greeting, ''Dananinani'' kkkkkk. Dahnaow for men and Dahnanish for women.
You're supposed to create the T by stretching ur arms on the Ethiopian monument 😁👍🏾
All of this has been demolished recently!!! Pizza area!
Didn't know Lil wayne was chiilling out in Ethiopia 10:07
Look, American’s and many Europeans are not considered to be the most respectful people. We show an arrogance and ignorance by disregarding the customs and traditions of other. Black Americans are supposed to show more enlightenment in encountering others. How we present ourselves matters. We need to study the history of others and become knowledgeable of countries.
You’ll encounter a variety of scenes but must always carry yourself with dignity, humility and respect. We’re not redneck hillbillies who mock other cultures and nations. Some of your comments cause me to scratch my head. Back to eating with your left hand- the left hand is to be kept away from the table , do as you see other do. Remember, Ethiopians and other nations in Africa , have had 1000s of years of civilization. That’s why a guide will help you in your travels. Best of luck to you.
You should of went to the more developed part of the city! this is piasaa very old part of the city!
He destroyed that food fast. Yummy 🤤
7:01 Ethiopia is a safe country and many are very kind and friendly. But you gotta be careful mentioning certain tribes out loud like that. If you knew your Ethiopian politics I think you'd understand but I just suggest not to mention it. Especially some people can take it the wrong way cause you're american and the politics etc.
Addis Ababa is my city, but I have never seen this neighborhood or streets! Are you sure you are in Addis? Mein yibalal yihea sefer?
ፒያሳ
You must be very young. Piassa used to be the down town and very popular area back in the days.
