    HELLO FROM COUNTRY #172 - ERITREA!
    I'm thrilled to be back in Africa where I will spend the remaining 3 months of the year! Many of you probably haven’t heard of Eritrea before and that’s because it’s a relatively new country and it’s notoriously difficult to enter (top 5 in the world). After 48 hours of roaming around the capital of Asmara and the ancient port city of Massawa, I’ve really enjoyed my time here.
    I’m getting flashbacks to when I was in Ethiopia, yet also touches of Yemen Somaliland and Italy. Yes - ITALY! Eritrea is a former Italian colony and their influence is remarkably well-preserved in the form of giant cathedrals, pizza parlors, gelato shops, old Italian cars, appertivos and many people can still speak fluent Italiano.
    The capital of Asmara is VERY safe, with kind-hearted people and surprisingly the weather is cold here (2,400 meters high). Unfortunately due to WiFi issues, I haven't been able to upload anything until now, but there’s no hurry because life is wonderful here! More to come soon 🇪🇷

      If the person who wrote the comment isn't Eritrean, then he or she write's like he or she should be !
      How about you ?
      By the way, I hope your surname doesn't relate to what I think it does !
      We need to get away from that negative mind set, and elevate our self's to a higher level.
      If you are Afrikan as you claim you are, then how about addressing your self using an appropriate Afrikan word.

    Although Eritrea has a decent amount of Italian influence I think that it is important to note that they did not settle in Eritrea but colonized it. The Italians came over and used the native people to build the very places that you showed and were discriminatory towards them. The culture is one of the oldest in the world and is known for its powerful kingdoms such as the Axumite and D'mt. It goes way further and deeper than being reduced to the "Italy of Africa".
