Just got to America for postgrad edu (UCSD). I was born and raised in bole near the airport, I'm going back to visit during summer break.
Hope you speak Amarigna or Tigrigna.

San Diego? That's nice, I got endless fam in LA. I only went back home twice when I was 8 and 26 respectively, I was there last year in January it's funny today was actually when I landed in America.

Yeah, my high school was in Piassa, I went to Lycée. Oh men I love Meskel adebabay aria, the Meskel holiday in 2014 held there with the bonfire was crazy. Yeah, tigrigna, oromigna, minamin kebad new but the older I get the more I want to learn.
Aydele? Gobez neg.
Sike naw lemme stop, ezigeriestiling...I think thats how you'd spell it.
Is that school by Mahmodu Music Bet? That's where my moms and my brother grew up, I know Tikur Anbessa is near there. You seem pretty smart, and most of the Piassa that I saw was extra thugged out. I love it in Meskel too, I would just sip a Macchiato outside and just enjoy the breeze. I was there for Timket so it was nuts out there, I saw white peoples lookin like
here and there. It's funny you said that about languages cuz I feel the exact same way. A lot of my aunts out there Eritrean so one of em was teaching me little bits of Tigrinya, and another aunt was Oromo so she was teaching me words too. I bet if I stayed for a year and just worked with them that I woulda picked it up. I hate and love that being quiet is considered rude. I ain't wanna talk much cuz I'm not the best at speaking, but at the same time it forced me to get better.

Yes, the elders are always shouting, seneserat yaz/yazi, eshi bel, minamin but you got to love it.
Piassa is nuts, growing up we used to hang out at Flamingo and Mesfen bet, they had the best baklava and napoleon. I miss Addis.
lmao, my American ass can't even understand it fully. Me and my cousins call it "That beseneserat shyt". Good thing is, I'm extra extra nice and respectful to all old people because of it. I remember last year me and my brother was having breakfast at a hotel in Nazret and being that I was raised around nikkaz I carried it as such. My brother was all embarrassed when I asked the lady for a macchiato after having 3 plates, some tea, and a fruit smoothie. I was like
and kept doin my thing, the macchiato came and it looked like some bath water with struggle foam on top. My brother was like 
that shyt had me pissed but it was a free breakfast so I just left that bullshyt drink right there. Piassa is so fun to me, it explains my mom and my aunt's personality a lot better for me now they cool as hell on the low. I have a lot of childhood memories of that place so I got a place in my heart for that crazy place. I heard of those places but I ain't hang out there, my brother walked me through all the rough spots we went from that Greek supermarket(can't remember the name) all the way to the family home in Piassa by Enrico's. Kazanchez, Rebakantu, lol it had me laughin about the places we call bad cuz that shyt was fukked.
I like Baklava so you gon have to take me to that place.

Oh I got you, just let me know when you are in Addis next. There is no coffee like abesha coffee, buna is everything
Even though I grew up in Bole we used to ditch school and go down to Shemeles Habet and Gena high school passed Mexico and it is so ghetto, I love it. Setochu they are always chewing gum typical Yeaddis abeba lijoch making that popping noise, I hate it but it was thrilling to be there. When I was a kid, I used to love going to sideist killo, thats where Haile Selassie's lion pet's decedents were held at Betemengist. They used to let us pet them and feed them. Man, I loved growing up in Addis, from Piassa to Kera, to Felewaha, to Ferensay legasion, to Nefas silk, etc... I'm def going back after grad school.

Cool. I just need to figure out when I'ma go back. I'm goin to South Africa this year to visit my aunt so I dunno if I'ma get to Addis this year. I'm dying to go back to Shashamane, plus I hardly seen the country yet.
lmao, my mom used to do that poppin sound with gum all the time. I figured it was some shyt they did back home it'd sound like a machine gun. I went by Mexico to meet my dad at Shebelle hotel yeah that place was ratchet too.
I saw the lions when I was a kid. It's no way you woulda got me to feed them, I have that American respectful level of fear when it comes to animals like that. Them hyenas was buggin me out once we left Addis. Hell, when I was a kid a goat almost took my head off on Ethiopian X-Mas eve so my grandpa woke me up early so I could watch em get killed. I never had justice served on a plate tho. It's so much of the city that I still ain't seen. The only places I know well is Nefas silk(I think that's where meskel is) and Piassa and all the places in between.
Honestly, the girls there surprised me yall are
. Mind you, I live in the DC area so the community is huge but I never was in it like that so I just hung around black people. It's like I was used to it there but when I went back home I realized why the brothas go crazy over yall.

Addis girls have that it factor, we some gorgeous girls. I think the home grown, traditional yet rebellious aspect plays in to that. Besides, unlike some American raised chicks, most of us are fit.
Yeah, I used to ditch school and hang out in Piassa all the time in high school. We used to take the bus from sidist killo to Nefas silk to visit this shisa/hooka spot to chew some chart

Damn girl. Chewin an all that you alright wit me. I was chewin with chicks all the time in Piassa with my brother. One of them chicks used to be on "Sew le Sew" it sucks cuz I could tell she liked me but she ain't speak no English and my Amharic ain't good enough to spit game. Maybe here in America where it sounds cute, but I wasn't bout to give my brother ammo to talk shyt.
