    I’m happy to watch your videos, I came back to Ethiopia after I was away 11 years! And I was lonely most of those years 😢 in the US, but that is behind me now. Praise the Lord. I’m now living in my father’s village or small town and enjoying it.

    I love Lalibela, so beautiful. It would be my dream spot to live. Have you seen any container homes? When I used those vehicles in Ethiopia, I called them tuktuks because that's what they were called in Thailand, never knew they were called "bajaish". Thanks for another great video.

    What businesses would you recommend to start for someone coming from US after 14 years

    • @princesslivingfree
      @princesslivingfree  Před 2 měsíci

      There’s so many good ones! For example, a private school with good education (so far Summit has the best ones but this is lacking in other parts of the city). Another one is healthy kids snacks that can be packaged for school (i.e. granola bars). I still think there’s lots of room here in the restaurant space. Sometimes I crave GOOD food outside of Ethiopian like the variety we have in the U.S.
      Basically, I would say that anything that’s already being done here you could improve on, or do something that you’ve seen in the States that doesn’t exist here. Also, most consumer goods (food, cosmetics, clothing) are imported, so you can look for ways to produce locally. Good luck!

      Stop your racism bullshit FANO needs to come with a better ideas not war. Look what happened to the TPLF and OLF. The Prime Minister is too smart and powerful. If your FANO, TPLF and OLF combined the Ethiopian government will beat all of you. Look at your so called leaders, they can’t even get along let alone lead a big country like Ethiopia.

    Can a foreigner open up a business on their own or do they need an Ethiopian to be their partner? I ask because I used to live in the M.E and it was this way. It's hard to find any info on starting a business as a foreigner there.
