Favorite thing: I got my visa done in Addis Ababa. It took only 5 minutes. I had a friend called the office a few days ahead to make sure the ambassador would be there. The number is 2511 635921 / 635922. In Addis Ababa, I stayed with a host from hospitalityclub.org and his place is on Bole St. The Somaliland Representative is between Bole St. and Cameroon St. so I could easily walk there and to my surprise, it was easy to find. I didn't get lost at all. If you take a taxi there, you might wanna tell the driver to go to Atlas Hotel and then keep walking on Cameroon St. towards Ring Rd. for about 300m. If Divine is finally within your sight, cross the road and get into an unnamed road. This road is the second road from Divine. Walk along the road until you see the Madagascar Embassy, turn right into the little road. If you see Mozambique Embassy, it means you already pass it. The Somaliland Representative is on the right. The door has a little sticker of its flag. You need one photo and 350Birr(or $40).

Favorite thing: You can find many little stalls on the streets that can change your money(sorry no picture, I thought I took one but I can't seem to find it). It's not necassary to exchange your money though. You can easily use USD. $1 equals a bit over 6000 Shillings.

Favorite thing: I made one phonecall back home from Telesom Office which is a few minutes walk from Oriental Hotel. I think I talked for about 2-3 minutes and it costs $1.5. It was a lot cheaper than in Ethiopia. Dial 00 follow by your country code and number.
