Was credit cards widely accepted in the cities outside of major hotels?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I really couldn't say what credit card acceptance was like. I mostly paid for my tours in cash (or prepaid with card) and most of my non-hotel incidentals were paid in cash. I suspect credit card acceptance was only possible at larger retailers in upscale or touristy areas. In smaller towns like Kisoro, zero chance of using a credit card, though there were ATMs here and there.

I had to look this up because I had no idea what dodo was (surely not the bird!). Turns out it's amaranth leaves.
Agree completely. The ADD-ICN flight definitely features Ethiopian food. The junior FA originally passed out the wrong menus to us, so I was able to snap a photo of it. Frankly, I'd have greatly preferred to have that menu on my flight. See below.

Thanks on the dodo. I had no idea what it was. Tasted vaguely like creamed spinach.
