So, this brother gave me a good rate for the exchange.

Alright, let's go, bro, let's go. [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] Okay, that's right, let's go, bro, let's go, uncle. [MUSIC]

Hello, bro, I am taking a little rest right now. Let's go, I am tired, bro. As far as my eyes can see, I can only see all these women sitting on the street and selling umbrellas. Bro, here, I can see that people are less interested in eating food. Everywhere, all I can see is umbrellas. It's a whole umbrella market, crazy, bro. People are getting high and you can also see some antique cars, etc. And this is a small rickshaw.

Stand is brother, this is my India's rickshaw, brother. I was scared initially, honestly, Africa, this is my first country, brother. Ethiopia, in Africa. And when I saw this market and people for the first time, I thought, brother, these people will shout at me. I will make a video, who knows, they might try to rob me. But, brother, these people are so nice, everyone is calling me, hello, hi, hello, saying. It's okay, they are poor, brother, have a little hope for money. But people, brother, have big hearts.

People, buddy, don't trust anyone based on what you hear from the media or someone else. Go to that country yourself, experience it, and then come to your own conclusions about what kind of people they are. You are the chef city of dreams, nice shirt, sir. These guys called me inside, what are they saying, blah blah. Hey, Sukaran, name, name, Pranav from India. Yes, yes, something happens, it's true, brother. They also know about movies, crazy. Something happens to the heart, it goes crazy.

If it's a movie TV, brother, they are showing this, their small box TV. This used to be there in India before, and still is in some places. And this small restaurant scanner, no Hindu, Hindu, they give it in India, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, everyone mixes. There are so many people, there are religions, and mixing some tribes, there are many languages spoken here, brother, different. This is what I have already shown you.

It was told and quite interesting. Hello, my friend, Romania. Romania is in Europe. Okay, sir. No problem. Okay, thank you, thank you. Let's go, bro. Let's go, brother. My sister is feeling unwell, and she is avoiding eating chicken, etc. My brother is saving her. Right now, we are going to meet someone who had invited us to eat on the terrace. So, we are going to meet him now and sharing a taxi. My name is Pranav. My name is Abu. Are you from India? I love India. Thank you. I love.

Ethiopia, I love India, very nice country. Indians love Ethiopians, Ethiopians love Indians. Oh my brother, good, good, nice. Google, one, one, camera, selfie, and going okay, okay. Taking a photo of a girl in one minute, one minute, look brother, even girls are taking selfies. Brother, where are you taking her by holding her hand? Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go. What is going on, brother? I don't know where she is taking me. [MUSIC] Hello, hello, what's up, take me to Ria.

Okay, what's up with kidnapping girls? Their SP chat has started. Welcome to Ethiopia. Welcome to Ethiopia. Harar, Harar. No, this is not Harar. I like Harar. Welcome, welcome, welcome. I love Harar. I love you too. Thank you. Thank you. Look, brother, this brother is confused about what is happening. Vin, give the salam. Okay, okay. People, we have come here. A friend called, and these girls also came with us. I don't know why these girls finally left.

No brother, what a scene it was, straight hand grab and took us, we don't know, brother, in which location we are, bro RV at the right location, and no idea, call your friend, call your friend, bro, it was a next-level scene, man. Just now those two girls came, grabbed my hand, then Umar brother's hand, and both of us were put straight into the rickshaw, they are taking videos with us, brother, touching my hair, giving kisses to both of us, brother, a next-level scene is happening, we know.

It didn't work, brother. What's going on, brother? We were walking, moving forward, and then we came here. Some people have set up their stalls selling potatoes, vegetables, and other things. Some small radios are playing here. There are some grocery stores for eating and drinking, and there are houses as well. It looks like a normal Indian slum area. During the day, it feels quite safe, but I don't know about nighttime.

Brother, I don't ever come here at night, there are so many people during the day, everyone seems friendly. They might be preparing for tomorrow, and these kids are playing around, people are chilling, sleeping peacefully. No tension in life in the middle of the road. And there is a small medical shop here, a pharmacy. Look, brother, there is a 9-10 year old kid driving a rickshaw. Brother, look at this child, such a small kid driving a rickshaw.

There is a seven-year-old child, man. Without a rickshaw, okay, drive, drive safely. I don't know, brother, here the police ask for a license, do you have it or not? My bro, it's closing time now, everyone is tying up their stalls and heading back home. Sleep, brother, good market, this market was also like a local alley. Some people had set up their stalls, look at this, the whole gang gathered, man. Our wonders, here and there, and even while leaving, people are shouting.

Giving, watching, doing hand gestures, brother, I thought Africa would be unsafe, Ethiopia would be unsafe, there were many misconceptions in the media that you see, brother. I found out here that Africa is completely safe, brother. No one tried to steal anything; everyone is very open-hearted. They are calling and no one has a thought of stealing in their hearts. You know, they expect a little money, but that's okay, brother. But people are very good at heart. So, guys, hope so.

You must have also liked this video. With this, I end the video. My journey in Africa will continue. How did you like the Ethiopia series? Tell me. And it's time, guys. Bye-bye. Take care and stay safe. Travel safe. Signing out.
