This week was a very special week in Ireland. It is about 10 days, the snow here in Dublin about the longest period of snow is 30 years and 6 ° in the morning the coldest winter in at least 20 years. Of course It happened that I, if I want to again escape the German winter, this flight with quasi in Ireland. Unlike Germany, however, it is not prepared for snow because there is something else so here not to see. This then results in Dublin is that the buses any more, hospitals are flooded with people who have slipped on a sidewalk and the ankle have sprained or similar snow-related accidents of the infrastructure, because, unlike in Germany, there are here in Ireland is no spreading materials in stock and winter tires are not, of course, so the traffic was like in the last week of a single large sliding all over. Now I was allowed a week walk home from work. I could take a taxi, but most people were faster when they are gone, because the cars are actually just slipped. So I am then slid home after work about two hours. The sidewalks were crowded with people who also walked, or rather slipped, as are the bus is the only public transport by which one can move fairly reasonable in Dublin - it is missing a street or subway. The Englishmen in our team have the driving snow in recent days, of course, observed especially because they can indeed no such thing to face every day.
course, I've won the opportunity can not take and I went again last night in the city to talk to my roommates again to lift a pint, but the downtown was dead, this one had extra sand (!!!) in Temple Bar and Grafton Street paid out to to improve the running situation. The mud I do not want to have to wegschippen ...
Currently, it is of the weather is a bit quiet with me, since I do not go out unless I absolutely must. I'm known to be absolutely no winter person. That's why I'm glad that I take with the Irish summer, not more, in which it is rarely hotter than 20 degrees.
I will therefore now even after a successful food hunting again in my cave and creep continue my hibernation. Until next week!
The view from my room on the road, no longer has changed since a week ...
