07:45.2
07:50.0
You can see people standing in queue and eating

14:36.8
14:41.6
I don't know whether they will allow us inside. Anyway, let's try.
14:51.5
14:56.3
We are getting into the university now. This was a palace of an emperor before.
14:56.4
15:01.2
Now they have turned the palace into an university
15:01.3
15:06.1
They didn't allow me to bring the camera inside, So I am filming with my mobile
15:18.9
15:20.8
I am inside the university now
15:20.9
15:25.7
They have a small museum inside this university.
15:25.8
15:30.6
As we are foreigners we had to pay 100 Birr as an Entrance fee, per person.
15:30.7
15:35.5
A king when he ruled here, constructed this place.
15:35.6
15:40.4

Ethiopia is the only country that is not colonized ever.

In Africa, a lot of countries have been colonized by other countries
16:24.6
16:29.4
but not Ethiopia. No one can capture it
16:29.5
16:34.3
Ethiopia didn't allow anyone to get in.
