Party + fire alarm = restless night

Today in the morning … at 1 a.m. … some guys and girls started a party on the 1st floor with extremly loud techno and dance music. When I look out of my bedrooms window I see the balcony where they were dancing and screaming. I tried to sleep but I couldn’t so I decided to use my Ohropax but as I put them in my ears I noticed that I was still able to hear that sound. So I was hoping that they would be done with the party soon. That was around 4 a.m. and the party was still going on. So I thought of going into the livingroom to get my sleep there. As I entered the room I turned back to my bedroom because it wouldn’t had made much sense. Everywhere was loud music to hear. At around 5:30 a.m. I suddenly fall asleep but only for 30 minutes. And the music was going on and on. After I took a shower at 8:30 a.m. (music was still playing) I wanted to take my breakfast but …

Suddenly there appeared a really nasty sound. I was like: „What the hell?!“ When I left the house I noticed that it was the fire alarm which made that noise. The guy in the reception wasn’t there so after a while someone decided to call the fire department and ask for a solution because there were no smoke to see and no smell of burned stuff. A few minutes later someone managed to silent the alarm. And guess what … the music was still playing!

After my breakfast I went to Dun Laoghaire with my parents. It was a pretty day and I also got sun burned. When I came back at 17:20 to the apartments the music was still playing. But hey, they turned the music off at 17:30. Now it’s time for a long sleep.

When the DART goes out of order

Today after work I went to the DART station in Dun Laoghaire and passed a guy who reminds me of an actor. First I didn’t remembered the name of that actor but then it got into my mind. That guy looks like Ben Affleck! I wanted to double check that but I didn’t had my glasses on and I was already too far away from him.

After a while the DART arrived at the station and I took a seat at the window. I was a bit confused because the train didn’t moved for like 7 or 8 minutes. Then the DART moved and I felt a bit better. When the train arrived at Salthill & Monkstown a voice came out of the speakers. I just understood that the DART is out of order because of broken overhead connections and that we had to take the Dublin Bus to get into the city. So I followed the crowd to the neared Dublin Bus station. After a few minutes a taxi stopped infront of me and the driver asked for more people who would like to get to city center. When I asked him for the fee he told me that it will be splitted under the passengers and it wouldn’t be more than 5Euro. So I hopped into the taxi. After a few minutes I catched the info that over hundrets of people are ordering a taxi at that time just because the DART isn’t moving. When we arrived at the city center the driver told us that he will only charge 3Euro each person. I was like: Cool, perfect time to get rid of my change.

All in all a very exciting afternoon.
