> It is way better to spend 1 month working and living in Ethiopia than 1 month visiting all the famous attractions of the African continent Is it though? I have lived on a bunch of different continents, traveled both fast and slow, and this kind of weird elitism about getting a “true cultural experience” is way overdone. You want a true cultural experience? Catch a local tropical disease. Pay a bribe. Get in a road traffic accident. There’s nothing special about getting bitten by a dog in the Caribbean as opposed to Bali. People are about the same everywhere.
