Hello everyone!
on the 20th of october I'm planing my first trip to Addis Ababa. So can anybody advise me on following topics:
1. What is the best way to rent a house?
2. What is medium cost of car with driver for a month?
3. What about internet connection in Addis Ababa?
4. Are there any CAT (caterpillar) dealers in Ethiopia

I'll be very grateful for your help.

EnMerkar,

1. The best way to rent a house is to find local, informal brokers and inform your requirements. And the best way to do this is through your connections in Addis

2. Car with a driver on average costs you Birr 12,000 a month

3. If you buy evdo service with the service provider, you will not face significant connection problems (hardware costs a onetime charge of about Birr 1,200; you may expect monthly usage charge on average something like Birr 1,000 to 1,500

4. The major CAT dealer in Ethiopia is Ries Engineering

Note: 1 USD is currently around Birr 17.10

Regards,

Suave
