What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada marked Ethiopia as his 54th country visited, noting the smooth immigration process using a pre-approved e-visa. While he successfully navigated the airport and secured a local SIM card, he realized he significantly overpaid for a short taxi ride to his hotel after consulting with the hotel staff. He expressed great excitement for exploring the 'heart of Africa' and learning about the local culture and currency.
