Mike Leyland St. is mentioned in 2008/08 Loso in Addis Ababa
quote:The girl closest to my hotel was still desperate to get with me. I shook her off to see what else was on offer. Reaching the corner, I spotted the Atlas Hotel, a well known streetwalker area. Most of the girls were too chubby for my taste, but a girl with the perfect figure was waving at me from across the street...Betty was cute enough. Her frizzy hair was typically African. She had that sparkle in her eye and wanted to head for my hotel straight away. Not so fast, Missy. We need to negotiate price first! Betty asked for 500 ETB ST. I offered her 100 ETB. She tried for 300 ETB. I upped the ante to 150 ETB. Betty tried hard for 200 ETB, but finally accepted 150 ETB. Let’s go!...Just around the corner, I ran into Bethlehem again. When I addressed her as “expensive Betty”, she laughed and asked how much I was willing to pay. I offered her 150 ETB ST or 300 ETB LT. To my surprise, she accepted the LT option...Helen was from the Oromo tribe and asked for 300 ETB ST. She wouldn’t go for 100 ETB, but settled for 150 ETB. Let’s go!...Up until now, all the girls I met spoke at least some English – most spoke English pretty well. Lydia, however, didn’t speak a word of English. Since she seemed rather shy, I wasn’t convinced it would be a good idea to take her home. But she was giving me little kisses when the waitress wasn’t looking. And she was hot as hell! As the $ sign on her belt suggested, Lydia was an expensive girl. She started off asking for 700 ETB LT, but finally settled for 400 ETB...
quote:On two days I had some free time and wandered out to "Mike Leyland St." (named after former US Congressman Mickey Leland), the place that Loso reported on. Here I cruised the Christmas Light bars and found a couple of prospects. Asking prices were 500 birr in these places but all agreed quickly to 300 birr (just over $30). My driver would bring us back to the Hilton, where we would do the deed, and then he'd take them back to their bars. These Christmas Tree light bars can be found all over Addis, and generally signify the availability of prostitutes, but Mike Leyland St. has the greatest density of such places I found.
