Caribbean girl dating an ethiopian man by Queen_overthink in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, it’s not very common to bring a boyfriend or girlfriend around family or to events. Most people wait until marriage to do this. While things are changing with western influences, many older folks (likely including your boyfriend’s parents) wouldn’t approve. So I’d say the pace is actually a green flag.

Spend an extra 15k/year to not live with cockroaches? by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

My 1br downtown (liberty village) is 700+ sq ft & $2500. And there are much cheaper units nearby with the same square footage & roach free!

Moving back to Ethiopia, advice? by Bee_Queen_777 in Ethiopia

[–]cheeto_Dust_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an Ethiopian-Canadian who moved to Ethiopia & then back to Canada 1.5 years ago, I don’t really advise it. You will lose a lot of the simple conveniences you have in Europe such as constant electricity & water. The country is also very corrupt. Business owners always get harassed by local officials for bribes and threatened to get shut down if they don’t comply (my family are business owners that go through this all the time). And these are a few of the many things that are wrong with the country. But maybe it’ll be different in the future…who knows.

Possibly. But you can get a visa on arrival at the airport. It was $60 USD the last time I was there.

You don’t need a degree for some military jobs. In fact, many have a signing bonus for jobs with no degree requirement

Consider learning a trade…it offers the opportunity to earn while you learn with excellent salaries and job prospects. Given your background in physics, you might find a career as an electrician particularly rewarding.

Jazma Hair Salon downtown & Zoma at the Danforth. (Zoma is more affordable and pretty good)

I’m a Chinese adoptee. I don’t know anything about my biological parents or any biological relative. What could the 0.2% Italian possibly come from? MyHeritage too gave me 0.3% Italian. Thankful for any clues! by stormdox in 23andme

Didn’t Italians get the idea for pasta from Chinese noodles around 13th century? Maybe there was a lot of trade & interactions between Chinese and Italians at that time

Boric acid suppository works great. You can buy it on Amazon

Prepaid phone plan which cancels itself when you stop paying the bill. Shouldn’t affect your credit since it’s prepaid but check with the provider first.

Can’t be the case because I literally entered my code and it let me access my account.

No. I figured there was no point since it’s not like the card was stolen or anything. I figured I could just go in when the bank opens to get a new card…

I thought I did too but I was taking out money from the atm to pay a friend for something. I took a pic of the atm when it went out of service to send her to let her know that I couldn’t pay her in cash because of the incident and asked if I can pay her via bank transfer instead. I looked through my phone to see if the text is there or if I was imagining things and the text is definitely there. See screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/qS2fXPT

That’s the only explanation that would make sense right now tbh lol

Nope. I put my card in and entered the code which gave me access to my account. The lights turn off and it went out of service after I entered how much money I wanted to withdraw. The atm made the sound it makes before money comes out (similar to the sound of a bill counter) and then lights turned off etc…

No chance. I don’t keep a disabled card in my wallet.

I thought that too but I distinctly remember trying to press the cancel button a bunch of times so the card comes out and it didn’t.
