Greetings everyone,
on todays entry I would like to talk about the task to get a proper communication environment setup for us, as well as incredible helpful people. Additionally I will show you the real life-savers of Dublin.
But first things first. As we heard even before we got to Ireland it is a good idea to get Irish SIM cards to be able to communicate with each other without paying a fortune for communication pieces like “let’s meet at 2000.”
Thus we (meaning Erik, Christoph, Robert and me) went to an O2 shop asking how this actually works and how much it will cost and so on. Our vendor was really friendly and quite helpful. As appreciation I got most of my colleagues just to him to get the contracts done (should give him quite a bonus for this month 😉 ). Additionally he, of course, got a 5 of 5 rating when I got the message to rate him. He allowed us to take a picture and add it in our Blog. Thanks Karl!
Also very helpful are the people at the reception. They have been a great help so far to get anything we lacked, for example dishes and a Kettle. It takes them one or two days to get what we asked for. (They just went to IKEA and bought it there!)
As last point I’d like to show you a picture of the life saver of Dublin. The left handed driving is giving us a bit of trouble but these little instuctions actually make sure we won’t get run over. (Traffic lights don’t seem to have any importance for walkers anyway. Even the police does ignore them!)
Thats it for now, more stuff incoming with my next entry. I may just cover my first workday, theres enough to tell about that. Just keep on reading!

Need those writings on the wall in Germany, too 😉
Gosh! Of course, I was supposed to write streets -.-
