The first day at Dublin

Hello everyone,

here is a little introduction into my current living situation. First of all I have to notice that I share the apartement with another german apprentice, Josephine Irlbeck, and a french girl. I’m really sorry but I already forgot her name because she wasn’t present when we arrived. She came back in the middle of the night with a visitor. And that’s not all! I don’t know for how long that girl lives here but the kitchen was all other than clean. Also the living room was a little hell.

Today we had a meeting with Margaret Purdy, the European Programmes Manager of the Internsplus, in the Guinness Enterprise Centre. We talked about issues we might have with the apartement, our working places and the propabiltiy to get reduced prices on Luas, DART and the DublinBus . After that meeting we had another pretty „meeting“ in the Guinness Storehouse. It was quite interessting, how the irish people love there Guinness. We also had the chance to get a little glas of Guinness, just to get into the taste of that dark beer. And to be honest: It’s not my taste at the moment.

In the evening I bought myself a leapcard. Thats a card to get reduced prices on nearly all public transports. You can charge that card at a store or online with your VISA, but only when u registered your card. I tried it and I’ll tell you soon if it worked or not.

The best thing today was the influence of Margaret,then she managed it that our apartement issues were getting fixed quite fast.

Greetings
Daniela Kaim
