🇪🇹 Addis Ababa One-Day Adventure — All for Just 5 RMB! 😆

1️⃣ National Museum of Ethiopia 🏛️ 🎟️ 50 ETB (≈¥3.3) – Totally worth it! Feels like an art gallery + museum combo. The basement has fossils, including Lucy (the 3.2-million-year-old "fallen woman" 😆). ⏰ 1-2 hours | Closes at 5 PM 2️⃣ Addis Ababa University 🎓 📸 Free – Just snapped a pic at the gate (nice vintage vibes, but skippable). 3️⃣ St. George Church ⛪ 🆓 Free – A tiny church where locals pray at every door/window. ⏰ Closes at 6 PM 4️⃣ Mount Entoto 🌄 🆓 Free – BEST VIEW of the city! Perfect for sunrise/sunset/night views. 🚌 How to get there: From George Church Bus Station, take Pink Bus #16 → Transfer to Blue Bus #116 at Shiromeda Health Center. Walk 5 mins downhill to Entoto Park (closes at 6 PM, but the mountain is open 24/7). 💰 Bus fare: 5 ETB per ride (total 20 ETB round trip vs. 550 ETB one-way taxi 😂). 🚍 Buses run until 2 AM! 5️⃣ Meskel Square 🏟️ 🎟️ 50 ETB – Famous square near my stay, but I just peeked from outside. 💰 TOTAL COST: 50 (museum) + 20 (bus) = 70 ETB (≈¥4.6!) 🤯 ⚠️ Safety Tips 🚨 Daytime = Safe | Night = NOT safe! A kind local escorted me back (even switching buses!) when I almost took a dangerous shortcut (some guy tried luring us into a dark alley 😳). My guardian angel said: "Today is a difficult day." Me: "Yes! Today is dangerous, and Ethiopia is a dangerous country!" 😂 Final Thoughts 💭 Loved Addis Ababa—blue skies, green spaces, but some kids kept shouting "Hello, China!" or "China, Money!" 🙄 #AddisAbaba #Ethiopia #BudgetTravel #SoloTravel #AfricaTravel #TravelHacks 🇪🇹✨
