New street signs in Old Airport, Addis Ababa

Just as I was planning to re-start my street signs project, someone (I assume the City Administration of Addis Ababa) put up new green street signs in Old Airport. It is fairly amazing, I gotta say. Now, we just need to know what the signs mean, right? Or what our house # is…

So, what do you think?

Metro Pizza in Old Airport (Addis Ababa) rocks!

So far the best pizza we’ve had in AA is… Metro Pizza in Old Airport. My personal favorite is the four seasons one (which has nothing to do with any other four seasons I’ve ever had anywhere…).

The place inside is as uninviting as most in AA – old rocky tables, simple steel chairs, you can almost miss the place because the entrance is not clearly marked. But the pizza is good, and certainly the best I’ve had so far in AA. Island Breeze was good too, but I had it a while back, so I’ve forgotten the taste…

Other favorites are the margheritta and the same, just with onions and red/yellow/green pepper slices…

Final score – Metro Pizza vs. Abu Goben = 4:1
