Greetings from Somaliland (and Ethiopia)

Post by pcs »

Hello everyone!

As you know I love to spend my vacations in some crazy
places. This year this turns out to be Ethiopia and Somaliland.

I am writing right now from a hotel in Hergeisha, the capital
of Somaliland, a small independent country that just never got
recognized by anyone even though they are enjoying peace
and relative prosperity compared to many other African
countries and certainly are doing much much better than the
south part of Somalia.

Coming here from Ethiopia and really strugling there with hordes
of beggars, thieves, hasslers and kids trying to get a Birr
(local money) out of unsuspecting backpacker at any oportunity
Somaliland is a real paradise.
People are incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming. You feel safe
and welcome, even inside the typical muslim-style local markets around
the city centre. A stroll through a similar market in Ethiopia feels like
swiming with the Sharks.

I will end this short report now, but expect some nice photos when I get
back. I think I will have a huge glass of freshly squeezed mango or guava
juice now, at 50c or so. Cheers everyone!
Best regards,
