Good Way to Experience
I went on the combined Addis overview tour and evening food tour. The first is a food. Ethiopian food is great but can be a little jarring in the beginning. Also, finding good eateries in the city can be a challenge.

Delicious fun!
ETT provided us with another fun adventure in Addis. Our guide Leul was fantastic. We started by going the fruit and vegetable market. The size and amount of chaotic activity is really something to be seen. Its every bit as amazing as the merkato. Next we went for breakfast. Leul took care of ordering. I highly recommend the mixed mango, pineapple and avacodo juice. Next it was off to make injera. The three of us on the tour failed miserably. It is much harder than it looks. Finally we headed to lunch and some wonderful shiro. The only draw back to this tour is you do spend a good amount of time in a vehicle due to the traffic in Addis, but you get to see day to day life first hand. A great experience.
