Top 5: Pubs

Now it would be even more boring if I could show only these lists. I've seen a lot in that time here and learned. I have learned for example that I am not traveling nature. I like to have a fortress in which I can retire.

I I learned that I'm in a foreign country whose language I am indeed familiar, but whose customs and culture but I had some new, can build a new life when I want.

I met new people, which I will miss when I get home and try that, I'll stay in contact to continue.
I am curious what will happen to me and what will happen the next time with all its new changes. I thank you all that you have weeks to week looked in here once, that it to me with your feedback you gave the drive to go on writing. This is my last entry in this blog, because it has served its purpose. I will the blog can continue once online.

you soon, your
Sven

Vip Default Lock Number

three days awake ...

The time flies and flies ...
It seems to me not as I would have installed the countdown over 20 days here, but when I first saw him, he has shown 34 days and now it stands at 12 days. Next week comes the big final special. Ireland nine months combined. What I took with me, as it is to live in Ireland, where I liked best, etc., etc. So
makes sure you drop by next Monday or Tuesday once again on this page and read my last entry.

But what was really going on this weekend?
Simon was here and we have mixed up Dublin efficient. Friday I just had one last time in Q-bar stop by, Saturday, we have the distribution points from the Grand Prix in Dicey's, a club next to Copper Face Jack's, followed.
Ok, quick intro to all: I think it's great that we have won the Grand Prix (especially because we will not win the World Cup ...), I am also sympathetic and Lena Raab anyway the only person on television, which at the moment is really what set off the ground, which was not copied from American formats. But the accent of Lena ... formulated carefully, one can say that has turned me every time the stomach when I use the word "Dei" had to hear (actually Day = Däi) in recent days. And no, I did not participate in the voting - even though I could. But Lena: I even had a pint for you.

Sunday we were then invited to Ireland on a house party for grilling. We are then driven home late again. I say just now that I was grateful that I did not was the one who had to fly home the next day again ... Crickets in Ireland is tricky!

We Dublin have experienced and therefore not seen. It must be! Thanks for a proper weekend, Simon.

Burning In Upper Side Of Foot

Kilkenny

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.
