If you were ever to visit Woliso, Ethiopia (where I have lived for the past two years), these are the top five places/things to go and try:
1) Visit Negash Lodge
This is the place where most foreigners stay if they are coming through Woliso and spend the night. You can get traditional Ethiopian food or food thats more American. You can swim in the pool, get wifi, and see some monkeys.
2) Go to the tej bet
If you want to try some Ethiopian, local alcohol, stop by the tej bet.
3) Go to Lewi cafe and try some feteria or special ful
While in Ethiopia, trying feteria and/or special ful is a must. Lewi cafe is one of my favorite places in Woliso to get both.
4) Stop by one of the small jebina buna places for some traditionally made coffee
It is also a must to experience a traditional buna ceremony while in Ethiopia. You can find a place for some traditional buna just about anywhere in town.
5) Go on a "mini" hike to one of my favorite places to get a pretty view of Woliso
I was exploring the back roads of Woliso one day and ended up going on a small hike. Found this really peaceful place that overlooks Woliso. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from all of the children that might follow you.

So there you go. There really isn't a whole lot to do in Woliso. But this is my list of favorite things to do when I actually get out of my house and am not doing programs. If you ever visit Ethiopia, there are so many "touristy" things to do such as seeing the historical sites in Axum (located in Tigray), and hiking through the Bale mountains.
