there are plenty ugly tourists in JA, but you don't have to see them. the same w/ rastas, they are not as prevalent in society as tv would have us believe. they pretty much stay in their own communities. and you will definitely NOT have anyone coming up to you like that. altho' when i touched down in ethiopia, many of the children, who came up to me to beg for $$ at the airport said that exact thing. i guess the headwrap fooled them.
