Life in Addis Ababa




These are some pictures I've taken over the past several days in and around Addis. The guy with the camera is filming a wedding procession. They say this is a common practice. I don't think this guy properly understands the ramifications of the driver hitting the brakes at 60 km/hr when you're not strapped down. The picture of the guy pushing the trailer is a local garbage man. This is how they collect the trash in town. These guys are all over, sometimes one, sometimes two pushing the cart. The other picture is of a shoe shine "stand". These are on about every corner. The cost to have an excellent shine is 1 birr, which is 10 cents USD.
