>>20659784>man everybody is always trying to rip us off here because I am a Mzungu. Gotta stay sharpSame in Ethiopia but wasn't as bad -- no major crimes against foreigners in Ethiopia, just would be pickpockets and con artists and beggars.
Keep your wallet in your front pocket near your hands. Expect to be charged more than a local for being a "rich white man." They probably need the extra money anyway. Like I might pay an extra 10% for things for being white, but I was loaded on government research funds in Ethiopia, and the government factored in the extra costs for being white.
Enjoy the beauty and, in some cases, great hospitality that Africa has to offer.
