It's this type of creativity that will boost Eritrea's soft power.

While we're on the topic of Asmara, here's a recent tourist review from an American who worked two years at the U.S. Embassy in Asmara:

What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?
The highlights were really the people (Eritrean and expat) that I met while in Eritrea. We had some great times, despite the general difficulties. The country has a WEALTH of opportunity. I enjoyed the slow pace of the country. I enjoyed the trips to Massawa (the coast). I enjoyed the hospitality of people.

What are the particular advantages of living in this city?
It's quiet. It has pleasant weather with very pleasant people. While relations may be strained with our governments, I feel like the people I met were extremely nice, hospitable and judged you on your own merit and not "as a American" or as a "Canadian", etc. I have been to a lot of places where individual people are reduced to their country's policy, such as Pakistan where there is generally a negative opinion of Americans. I think a large part of the difference here is that almost everyone has family who live abroad, so they have a better understanding.

What do you wish you had known about this particular city/country before moving there?
Wish I had known how much I was going to enjoy it and miss the people.

Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?
Yes.
