  Man, I am sorry for what happened it must have been very traumatising. I have so much respect for the way you maintain your enormous amount of positivity and that big smile, &nbsp;even when life is very hard on you. I look forward to your next adventures!

  You are still alive. You are still smiling and things can be replaced. Any serious traveller will tell you, the journey isn&apos;t arriving, it&apos;s what happens on the way. &nbsp;Telling the tale is an important part of <b>your</b> story &nbsp;and watching it &nbsp;is an important part of <b>our</b> story. So please pick up the pieces and carry on so we can see your smile some more!

  Deeply sorry, Ethiopian here I see your videos and love them I am bike commuter in Addis. And it is disturbing to hear this . Yes there are unsafe paths and dangerous and terrible individuals but there are places that warmly welcome, respect and treat you well since our culture is known for treating strangers kindly and welcoming. Hope you recover well and didn&apos;t damage the whole image you have of Ethiopia. At the end it&apos;s your journey here thanks for sharing much love and respect ❤<br><br>.and yes I saw the whole suffering you had on the burocracy &nbsp;and it is real to this day sorry you had to experience all of this aswell

  Yes, “the sentence of a loser,” is correct. Nothing happens “for a reason.” That’s something people say to comfort themselves, but it’s childish. Stuff happens and you have to deal with it. You dealt with things so well. It’s wonderful how you didn’t let the bad stuff get you down. Have a wonderful trip. You are fantastic. Be careful.👍😎

  Really sorry to hear this, I&apos;ve been enjoying your adventures as a fellow bike traveler. I was in West Africa last year but I heard some horror stories about Ethiopia (people being unfriendly and throwing rocks). It&apos;s such a shame because it&apos;s a fascinating country with rich history
