Outstanding review by KathEv

I'm not sure if all that security would make me feel more comfortable - or more worried, but an excellent review! All the same, I don't think Ethiopia will be high on my list of possible holiday destinations! by Marge3781

I'd already rated before I read the comment below, and hadn't noticed the category heading (shame on me!) I've decided to leave my rating as it stands, in anticipation of it's being moved to the right place, as this was such a well written and interesting piece.

This is a very good review of Ethiopian Airlines, a much less good review of Ethiopia as a whole, which is meant to be the product category. Strictly speaking, your review might even be Off Topic, but I've rated it Helpful, since I got enough info on Ethiopia from it to justify that. Sorry. However, you might like to consider getting this review moved to become a review of Ethiopian Airlines and writing another about Ethiopia in general. That would be really welcome, since you clearly know a lot about this fascinating country. Duncan by torr

This made very interesting reading as my school has very close links with a school in Ethiopia (in Gondar???) Cheers, James. by Disillusioned
