1- bad analogy, since we have paid in USD in many Countries and they welcomed it and at the mkt rate for USD. Alot of 3rd world countrys the people are thrilled to get a decent foreign currency. Or at the very least we paid using our US CC in the local currency even in a 3rd world country

2- have no idea what this means"I take it you are not aware that there was a big at the market the other day" whatever you are referring to we have no idea what if anything took place at the mkt, did whatever happen close it down? wed be going this coming Mon

we have a forced 20 hr layover and were going there just to go somewhere and get out and see alittle of the city, but it seems that you are saying something happened and best NOT to go there, is that correct. In which case we will simply hang at the hotel. We head to the 1st airport at 3am for our 7am flight so no sleeping Sun night , so we are looking forward to sleeping at The Skylight, just wont need 20 hrs of sleep.

Well Google turned this up https://addisinsight.net/2024/10/rag...hting-efforts/, so the main building is out but will have to ask when we get there is all the street merchats are also out of commission for now, now planning on simply staying put at the hotel,THX for the heads up
