Monat: Mai 2010

Hey people,

on thursday (father’s day) i was with steffen and the guys from the 5 men apartment in a pub namend „Botanic Inn“.  The pub is ca 15 min away from our home and the way at night was pretty cool. One of the house we saw was spotlighted with black light, this looks great at night. Arrived at the pub a smell of beer crossed my nose, the whole pub smells like beer. In the pub steffen and me met the guys from the other apartment. It shan’t be long and we talk with irish people. Then we taste the irish cider and i think it tastes good! Later we met a german guy who tell us something about ireland. At the end we went in the second floor where a disco was, but the pub and the disco closed at 1 o’clock, so we couldn’t enter. All in all it was a good evening.

bye

Hi there,

Finally, I god rid of my cold.Yeeehaa….

The spanish guys are so fuc….. funny. Their English is really bad, but they use their own words. For example:

the fridge is -> the cold box,

the freezer is -> the very cold box,

the oven is -> the hot box

and the kitchen units are called -> individual food box

Yesterday they all got drunk and started to get crazy. One of them wanted to take a shower and, I don’t know why, the others tried to avoid that. During this time they destroyed a lamp and the door of the bathroom. Sebastian and I were downstairs in the livingroom and we heard just a lot of very loud „BANGS“. So actually, we do not really know, what has happened^^.

After a lot of beers we decided to go to a Pub, I cannot remember the name, but it was really cool there. The music was very loud that if I wanted to talk to someone I had to leave the Pub and have a Cigarette. Outside, I met about 20 different people from all over the world. I got used to speak english with an american accent, so that one irish girl actually thought that I came from America^^. I found out that it is really easy to find someone to talk to. All of the people here are very friendly and appreciate that I’m trying to talk in their language.

Now, I want to go to a Pub called „Botanic In“ to watch the final of the FA-Cup. I hope that the beer is not to expensive there.

When I’m back, I’m gonna have to tell some more funny stories of the spanish guys :). I don’t know whats going on in their heads.

bye

Moin everyone,

I’m tiered…the whole week was very exausting. Working from 9am to 18pm wasn’t fun but I managed to change it to 8.30am to 17.30pm, not much better but at least a bit. The Website I’m building has to be ready by friday next week. I don’t really know if my boss knows that I’m here for two month.. oh man. Actually everything is spinning while I’m sitting on the couch. Yesterday we where in a club called „POT“ or „POD“ ? I don’t know anymore but it was fun, when your drunk the english is floating and we talked to more people in one night than the whole last week before.

3 Coronas for 10 Euro .. fuuuuuu … but somehow I got enough of it to get a drunk, finally. Anyway, Maik is still sleeping and Lee and I are gonna get into town now, to buy suits and do some sightseeing, naww .. I need a bank, Irland is so expesive. We don’t even have something for breakfirst. Well going now…

cya, Tim.

Hey Guys,

The last two days of work have been great. I don’t work with networks or anything I usually do. Most tasks are application management. I took me some time to get started, but at the end it was fun. My colleagues are very helpful too. Anyway, to the interesting stuff now.

On Thursday we have been to the temple bar in the city center of Dublin. I was quite funny, despite the touristic factor. I walk down the street and I have seen about 5 to 10 German people. 

But in the end we went to “The Old Dubliner”. We all had a great time.

Yesterday I have been invited to a house party of a colleague. He just moved in at his flat. There I have met people from Spain, France, Japan, Italy and some more countries. It was a lot of fun talking to the guys. Ok enough for now I have to go to the city, see some stuff and maybe go shopping.

See you later,

Lionel



Day 03 – 12/05/2010

If your answer is yes, then you have missed a good seminar about: „How to start your own business“ organized by the Africa Centre for Africans and all other people who were interested.

One guy talked about how he started his business. He owns a company which refuels motor-lorries while the driver is not allowed to drive because of his/her idle times which he/she has to keep. So they have motor-lorries, too, and drive to the motor-lorry, which have to be refueld.

After my worktime I went to DUNNES to purchase some food for me. It is difficult to find well-known german products there, e.g. the german „Quark“ :). I asked many people but nobody know what it is, they only know Sour Scream and Creme Fraiche.

In the evening I made me a pizza and watched the final of the Europe League.

Hm………….. I do not know………. Bye..^^

Hi,

Thanks to the rainy weather on tuesday I got a cold.  On Wednesday I stayed in bed all evening trying to get better. Hopefully I am going to be ok today. I am drinking a lot of tea (not so difficult to find tea in UK^^) spending my time on writing the blog, answering emails etc. If my recovery is going on well I will get into the City to buy a phone card and something to eat, maybe some drugs…

Anyway, my Job Interview that occured on Wednesday, was a great success. The director of Nitec was impressed by my language skills. Unfortunately he did not have my CV so I had to tell him my whole working history. But it seemed that the interview proceeded very well and I am looking forward to beginning my practical training at Nitec on monday. If you want to know about the company you can visit their website at https://www.nitec.com/ .

So that’s it for now. Maybe I can tell you something more interesting tomorrow, because probably, I’m staying in bed today.

see you

David
