My "crazy" neighbor is just back from Ethiopia, we had him over for dinner last night. His basic comment was that country is not ready for Western tourism (most here would say "Duh!"). Outside Addis Abbaba, he said it's akin to Turkey when he was a boy, very basic and undeveloped. He said the population was well over 100 million which surprised me.
He's still processing his photos of various animals he took, that is his passion.
His next trip to to Bolivia, the garden spot of the whole country probably.
