My fiancee can't believe that you found a nice habesha dress for 180 Birr in Merkato, but if so then please buy some more for her! ;-D

Also she couldn't believe that the vendor did not act nasty when you left without buying something!

How is the jewelry (e.g. gold prices) in Piassa, still cheap? She says it was cheap when she was there two years ago. (Go eat some baklava in Mekonnen Bar at the Piassa)
