Another weekend ?!

Hi guys,

yes, I write also about my weekend. It was the last usable weekend in North-Ireland.

On Saturday, I was with Martin in the Lagan Valley LeisurePlex, a big leisure pool in Lisburn (in the south of Belfast). There we have done many things. In my opinion was the best in the LisurePlex, a slide, which ended in a big funnel. In the slide, you come very fast in the funnel and you don’t know, where you are. It was a lot of fun.

After them, we have enjoyed a big all-you-can-eat meal in a Chinese restaurant. It was very good, but I guess not good for the figure.

On Sunday, was the big first German football game: Germany versus Portugal.  We was for this game in the „Botanic Inn„. There was a good atmosphere and it was very funny.

This was the last weekend and it is slowly time to say goodbye.

Best regards from Belfast

My Weekend

After two exciting days at Enniskillen, I tried to relax at the weekend. I spend a lot of time spleeping and just hanging around. Saturday,we had lunch at „The Morning Star“, which is a pub offering lunch. Oli, Tim and Tobias had the „Morning Star Burger“, I tried the „Chicken Burger“. It was a nice location, altough there were many people so it was quite loud. Afterwards I watched some football with Oli.

Sunday wasn’t more interesting. Oli cooked some lasagne for us and in the evening, we were at „The Belfast Empire“ again, to listen to Ken Haddock’s for the last time.

It’s also quite calm on work, I’m doing last paperwork so everything is ready for leaving.

Lisburn Leisure Park

Water pools and waterslides...
Water pools and waterslides...

Yesterday was a relaxed day, too. Well, I have found a nice place where we can spend the time on sunday, but this I have already told you and it was nice. Maybe, we have slightly increased expectations, because the water leisure pool looks on the pictures bigger than the real look, but I think we are accustomed to bigger and more spectacular water parks from Germany. However, we have enjoyed this wet experience. Unfortunataly, there were to many kids on this day where we can’t really relaxed in the pool and have some fun waterslides, it was still too small for those many visitors. After all, we have a little hightlight in our favourite pub the morning star and enjoyed the football match between Spain and Italy. We have ordered some steaks which are looked very nice and they were very delicious, so we have ended this day with a great meal and now we watch the last football match at the evening.

A relaxed long weekend…

Hey guys,
this long weekend is not so much happened what I can tell about it, but maybe about next weekend I could tell something, because we want to go to the Lisburn Leisure Park with Irlands biggest leisure water park and with a nice cinema for looking the new film MiB3. For all that, at my work I have developed some new webparts and new toolparts for our Sharepoint Server, in addition to them I have installed and configured a new virtualized developing server with all important tools which extend our developing infrastructure with more mobility and independency for our developing team. Well, I look forward to next days until we fly back to Germany and I enjoy my last complete weekend at Northern Irland.

Let us have a nice long weekend…!

Hey guys,
our last two weeks have been started and we have just two weekends for some nice adventures. Well, my week was pretty nice where I met a new guy at Volunteer Now. He come from Spain and is working as developer, too. He work with me and Kevin together on the same projects and hope, it will be a nice end of our internship. But I still working on the same project and develope the Visual Webparts for our Sharepoint Server and it will be never boring with this team where it’s sometimes funny with those irish people… ^^ This long weekend, I will go with Kevin to the cinema to watch the new film „MiB3“, but at first we go to some other sights or events. Well, I think it will be very funny and it’s nice to see same other sights outside of belfast. Let us what will be happened on this long weekend… 🙂

Whatever… I just called „The Titanic Museum“…

Last sunday was a nice day to go to the Titanic Museum. We have booked our tickets online and started at 1.20 pm with a nice lunch before…^^ So, we have fetched our tickets from the museum and went in them at 1.40 pm. Well, it was nice to see how the history of Belfast has changed the industry in Belfast. We have saw a lot of history facts about Belfast which was shown with a great variety. One of them was a nice documentary shown which was like a little cinema and you had the possibilty to discover all items which were founded at this discovery. While I walked through the labyrinth of the history, I have lost my roommates…^^ …only Marco and me were left over. After we arrived the end of this museum, we got very hungry and went at home, but we did a stop at our favourite cinema and found a nice location with so very tasty pizzas. Well, the price was bearable and I would recommend this nice location. It’s the Pizza Hut at the Odyssey Cinema with nice service. Well, we have took again some nice pictures, but this once I will post only the link to the complete list by way of variety. Here we go!

Just a little barbecue on the beach…

Just one post ago, I have told about me and Kevin that we were did something together on the last weekend, so met us near my living place on the Corperated Street and started to go to the Odyssey Cinema, because we wanted to play bowling and some other crazy games. It was really funny and we have so many laughed. We have played bowling and pool billiard with me, Kevin and his brother. After a long time at this place, we went to a little pub and have little small talk. The most of this topics were about movies, games and some other IT-topics like Android Systems and Linux. This encounter was so very funny and I would prefer to do it again. On sunday, me and my roommates have decided to do a little barbecue on the beach. Well, it was a bad idea, because the weather wasn’t the best one and the beach… Let us talk about another topic…^^ The steak what we wanted to grill was good, but the grill was just a little bucket…^^ But my pictures can talk more about them than I can never do it.

1/4 is done

Hi guys,

1/4 of our time is done, but fortunately we have even 3/4 of our time.

The Titanic-shield in the front of the Titanic museum.

Okay, to the weekend:

On Friday evening, we was in the Botanic Inn, a small pub near the Botanic Garden. There, we could see, how easy it is, with natives to come in a convention, but it was very difficult the drunken natives to understand. The Saturday was for us a shopping day and we was in the city centre of Belfast, incidentally we have witness the festival of fool. Sunday we was at the port of Belfast. We have seen the titanic museum (someday we will go inside), the titanic dok and many other nice things.

Best regards from Belfast

Our coast trip

Hey!

During the last week, Tobi, Tim, Oli and me decided to hire a car for the weekend and see something of Northern Ireland’s beautiful landscape. Saturday, Tim and Oli got the car — which was advertised as a VW Passat on the website and turned out to be a Vauxhall Zafira — and picked up Tobi and me. We used the chance to go to a Lidl, which is some miles away from our apartment.

Today, our journey brought us to Giant’s Causeway, the Bushmill Distillery, and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. We took a lot of pictures, unfortunately I can’t upload all of them, but here are at least some of them. We used the selftimer to take one of the pictures..We put my camera and Tim’s on the roof of the car and after taking the photo, I took my cam back into the car..Tim did not..so his camera had some fresh air for about one mile..We looked very surprised when we got out of the car and spotted Tim’s camera..

The impressions were just amazing..So have a look…

Friday and Saturday…

Hey guys,
it was so amazing the last week, but every will ending on every sunday midnight. On friday, i have begun to build some alternative designs with CSS & Co. for our Sharepoint at my work and i have included some new extensions to the new Wikisystem for all guides and howto’s. Now the weekend have begun and some festivals started up at friday, but i didn’t want to go to those festivals. I love the quietness to do something like projects in my community. On the next weekend, we have booked a tour to the sight „gaints causeway“, i think, it will be a nice tour. A few hours ago, i have reactivated my facebook account to promote a little more for community and my projects in this community. But sometimes, i think, i will publish some nice pictures of belfast and so on. Well have a nice weekend @all….
