Addis Ababa is the capital city of Africa in which the headquarters of the African Union is located. Having a car and a house is a must to live an easy and simple life without any struggle. Amharic is the official language there. There are many hotels to relax and enjoy.
Addis Ababa is a very vibrant city where people who come from many cultures live in harmony. It has a lot of tourist attractions and coffee houses, almost on every corner. Many languages are spoken in this city but Amharic is the dominant one as it is the federal language of Ethiopia.
Anyone moving to Addis Ababa most of all must know that majority of residents do not speak English, therefore they need translator by their side. Other than that, Addis is a beautiful city with a very welcoming environment. Last but not least, they should mostnot leave without having a cup of Ethiopian coffee.
My people are very known for there hospitality, we have above eighty thousand ethnic groups. We all live in harmony, peace and tranquility. Any one will fit right in, but it would be beneficial if they learn our mother tongue (Amharic), cause it makes it much easier to move around.
Amharic is the official language. carrying a lot of dollar cash is forbidden. Also, it is better to rent a house than to rent an apartment because most of the apartments in the city are not of a good quality.
