Although tiring, unreliable and slow, busrides in Ethiopia are never dull, and a good way to get to know the country behind the sights.
The first challenge facing a prospective bus traveller, is finding the right place to buy the ticket, and finding out about the departure times. In Dire Dawa, for instance, it took us hours to accomplish just this. When we finally found the office for the bus towards Djibouti, the guy at the desk only spoke Somali, and lacked the imagination to understand such a simple question (pointing at a watch) for asking the departure time. When we came back to actually take the bus, it was delayed, and even later, we took a further delay of several hours before we left. After hours of driving in darkness, we stopped for several hours so we could sleep a little on the bus. On this ride, which was one of our first, we already saw how the Ethiopians were creative in finding solutions for the official ban on standing passengers on buses: people would be crammed in all ways inside the bus, as long as they did not have to actually stand.
