Youngsters everywhere in Ethiopia - this is a young nation and it shows on the streets. They can be delightful, but they can also be a nuisance for the traveller.
But there were also extremely annoying kids that sometimes managed to spoil our experience. Usually, upon spotting us, they would come running towards us shouting "birr", "money", "pen", or "faranji" - birr being the national currency, faranji the Amharic word for foreigner. Often they would be offended because we did not give them anything. In any case, they were very persistent, and trying to say "no" in a polite way almost never had any effect, some were outrightly stubborn in pursuing us. There were smart kids who offered something to sell, which we gladly encouraged by buying from them, but the majority gave us the impression of seeing us as a money tree. On a bike tour and several times on the bus the kids would actually throw stones at us, but that seemed to stem more from boredom than any direct physical aggression. Still, our relation to Ethiopian kids was mixed - but their appearance was beautiful.
