I will work in a construction site near Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia (near the north) for one year in the near future. I want to ask someone who has been to Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia has only two seasons throughout the year: dry season and rainy season. The annual temperature is close to the spring in China, and the temperature in Addis Ababa is similar to that in Kunming. Just wear a sweater when it's coldest. It will be colder sooner or later, but it won't be unbearable. Now should be the best season. You can basically buy daily necessities locally. If you want to save money, you should prepare more yourself.

Due to the altitude, there are not many mosquitoes in Addis Ababa, and there is not much danger of being bitten (malaria). The local folk customs are simple and friendly to China people. It is a better country in Africa.
