Once again I used the weekend to travel around in Ireland and to explore the Emerald Isle. My goal this time was Kilkenny, a small town in the southeast of Ireland with about 8,000 inhabitants. I wanted to see for a change, a somewhat smaller city, and breathe some fresh country air and that's what I did. Just the nearly three-hour bus journey from Ireland showed its best side, because the bus takes a route through all the small towns in Ireland, where only the idea of tourism exists. In addition, there were the Weekend of 23 ° (which feel somehow as 28 in Ireland has so ...), you for a change, like looking out the window.
I placed two days in Kilkenny's probably the only hostel and told me the room with a group of German (yes, yes, I know) and to study French Erasmus students, the law school in Cork. Speaking of Cork, on my first day I met a group of girls with whom I've talked a little and they said I had a bit of a Dublin accent. Today I learned that this compliment from someone from Cork sometimes can be so flattering to get as attested by a Frankfurt an Offenbach dialect. But better Dublin accent as a German accent ("Should that would sink for ju ling scientific German Rail.").
was much more interesting, the fact that these girls were on their way to celebrate a so-called "Stag Night", a hen night. This is the night before the wedding and it involves embarrassing and uniform headgear, pubs and too much alcohol. Kilkenny, so I know even with Galway a home for such celebrations. Why, I can not say, because the pubs are to be honest little better than in other cities. It probably has to do simply with the fact that the risk of encountering familiar faces, is less ist.Es perhaps not quite so embarrassing.
The city itself had me in the first five minutes convincing. The castle as a central park, can walk you through the forms, please contact a personal highlight. But the people are of a different nature. So I was sitting on an evening out at a restaurant and second that passed, had a "What's the craic?" (Has nothing to do with drugs, rather "how to's") or "How are you?" . Hear It was a very different, very much more personal atmosphere and the first time I've experienced to this extent.
evening I was with two girls from Israel, I had met at the hostel. Shay and Michal. It was interesting to hear them talk about their culture, Israel is a very interesting country in appearance. In any case it has slipped on my list of countries to be visited up. Sunday I went to after a long weekend at home. Unfortunately, I was sitting in the bus for three hours in the sun, so I had a slight sunstroke slept (in Ireland!) And first two hours when I got home. Overall have a very, very nice weekend.
