Hi Guys,

I somehow feel the urge to tell you about something else I noticed by now – we have WAY too less free time whatsoever to do everything we would like to do. Especially as Erik and I (I don’t know too well about the working times of the others) work from 0930 a.m. to 0600 p.m. We then have to add the way to and off work what makes it effectively from 0845 a.m. to 1900 p.m. These are quite long days, what makes it impossible to do anything them. And no one has enough energy to go through the whole weekend with action and events all the time and stay healthy, what cuts off one day again.

That means we have just 1 day to get a decent view on Ireland which is just way too less to go for longer trips. I guess anyone else will agree on that one.

Luckily we have an extended weekend upcoming so Erik and Nick are making plans for a trip to the west coast of Ireland. That will be exciting!

But I’m drifting off, what I wanted to say is – there is so much what we’d like to do but can’t that it’s getting a bit disappointing.

Opposed to Alex I believe the only solution for that is more free time, which does not account for less working hours, as about no one will use the given time after work. But an additional free day should do plenty for the people that want to do and see interesting stuff here. Of course there will be the ones that won’t use the time but that’s their personal problem.

That’s all I wanted to say, thanks for your attention!

Well we didn´t go out on Friday. Why I don’t know, I forgot the reason, I think we just hang around.

On Saturday I slept long. After sleeping, getting awake and eating breakfast we began to setup our pc to do a little LAN Party. In the evening we began to play the first Game openarena.

At 22 o’clock the party started in our house! Downstairs the French people had a Party and upstairs the Spanish people the other party! So there was much travel in this house and there also were people from the University, so I met a German guy who told us what we can do here, respectively what we absolutely have to do. So we had a typical home party with typical drunk people, on the whole it made quite a lot of fun!

Sunday was our food-buying-day. That’s the good thing in Belfast, you can buy food every day. So that the primary care for the week is guaranteed.

In evening we started the LAN Party and a couple of other guys who also are on oszimt were still around and we played together. We played games such as openarena C&C3 and Wolfensteil. But we had some problems because the games are already very old and needed things like IPX. Anyway we had a lot of fun.

See you soon!

HeyHey,

as Erik and Alex already wrote we have been in Howth on Saturday to see the cliffs where Lars has been. Sadly we only made it there late as we had to do lots of stuff in the morning.

There is nothing much more I can write as they already pointed out almost everything. It has been great as the weather was incredible and the landscape stunning. We intend to go there one more time, just earlier (and hopefully without that nasty amusement park).

There is something you can be jealous of what i feel like it has to be pointed out a bit more:

Jackpot-living houses like this one!

This is just incredible, I would love to live there!

As Erik and Alex already provided pictures and also the ones I would have posted, I will safe the data-space and just ask you kindly to have a look at their Blog entrys.

I’m looking forward to go there again! Will tell you about it!

Dear reader,

on Saturday i was called by Erkan and Stefan. No wait… ERIK and Stefan. Sorry, my fault!
However: I was called by them and they ask me if we want to go to the coast. After we saw the pictures of Lars, we wanted to see the coast as well.

After our short journey in the „pisstrain“ (by Erik Herzog) we arrived in Howth. We have thought about sheeps, nice big cliffs and old castles but the first thing we saw was a big amusement park. Around one Billion people with cameras and little fat kids with ice cream, like in a bad american film.

We try to escape as fast as we can and after a few minutes of walking we see our target. The cliffs! Exactly like in the kerrygold butter advertisement!

Here are some pictures from our trip:

It was just a perfect day and that is the reason why I wanted to travel to ireland. Thanks to Erik and Stefan 🙂

Cheers,

Alex

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry that you had to wait so long. Especially my mother was really annoyed but I had not that much time in the last few days and the WLAN wasn´t working in the last few minutes. So… Whatever, I am here now.

Why was it a sad day? Well. Today I stand up at 7:30 to be on the airport early enough. You know, you have to be there as early as possible and so on.

Look here, I know, it´s not that good to see, but the starting aircraft is a very special one:

You may ask, why it is special. And this is a good question which leads me to the thing I wanted to tell you.

Her Name is Malena and she had an internship here in Ireland, too. She is from Lüneburg and yeah… We understood us very well. We have very much commonalities and we met the first time on the tour with the celtics things. She is in the IT. In german it is called „Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung“. The plane in the picture above is the plane she took back to germany.

We met every day this week and it was just wonderful. In the first days here in Ireland I thought „I want to be back in Germany!“. Then I thought „God damn, this is pretty cool here, I want to live here!“. And now I just want to go back to germany and spent my time with her, with my Girlfriend. Yes, that´s it for today. 🙂

See you
