What? The second week is over?!

Here I am!

It is incredible. It felt like yesterday was Saturday the 6th and I am waiting for me flight, because the time is just running. My colleagues are still cool, my workplace nice and I like to stand up early in the morning just to go to work. All our Users are very friendly and helpful and if that´s not enough: The Big Bosses are also extreme friendly and helpful. If you ask me: This is a more familiar atmosphere than it could ever be in Germany. We are not laid back enough. This is a nice atmosphere we have here in Ireland.

After 2 very short weeks I am finally able to have no problems to find the way to work without my GPS and it becomes better, I am able to find the way back home walking. 😉

Why should I do this? Just because the Busses are so extremely expensive. So I burn some calories and save some money. That comes in handy!

I am still amazed from the friendliness of all the people here. If you walk against someone or stand in their way, they only say “Oh, Sorry!”. I walk against them and they say sorry! In Germany I would be beaten. 😀

Wednesday I took the Bus and sat next to an older woman. I was listening music when she suddenly began to talk to me. She asked me, where I am from. I said Germany. And then she started to ask me, where she should go, because next week she will go to Berlin. Funny coincidence. And then she told me about a turret clock, I every day pass by. I never realized it, but this clock is called the “Four-Face-Lier”. All of her 4 sides shows an other time. It´s on my list of fotos I want to upload. 🙂

Thursday I was in the St. Patricks Cathedral. A very phenomenal and impressive building! But I have to say, it´s more interesting from the outside than from the inside. However, it was worth the 4,50€ entrance. Here a picture from the cathedral:

I am not sure if we read us tomorrow. I will take a tour with a girl from my workplace. It is a tour about the old celtic culture. We will see some castles and other real cool stuff. It starts at 8am and ends at 5pm. Imagine, I would never think about to stand up on 6am on an Saturday in Germany. I hope (and I am sure :D) it is worth to stand up that early!

 

See you Guys!

  1. Hallo Brüderchen,

    wann lädst Du denn die riesige Anzahl an Bildern hoch, von denen Du hier in fast jedem Deiner unmengen Blogbeiträge erzählst? 😉

    Berlin ist übrigens nichr Deutschland und ich wurde auch noch nie zusammengeschlagen, nachdem ich jemanden angerempelt habe :-p

    Wie lief es heut eigentlich?

    1. Einen schönen Guten Morgen Markus,

      die riesige Anzahl an Bildern wird dann hochgeladen, wenn ich die Bilder habe. Da ich keine Kamera außer meinem Handy dabei habe, bin ich leider auf meine Arbeitskollegin angewiesen die wohl nur recht ungerne daran zu denken scheint, die Kamera mit an die Arbeit zu bringen. 🙂
      Ich denke das ich im Laufe der nächsten zwei Tage endlich ein paar Bilder hochladen kann von den Orten, an denen ich war.

      Die Tour gestern war übrigens ausgesprochen interessant, auch wenn ich nur die Hälfte verstanden habe, was unser Leiter da erzählt hat. Aber es war die 30 Euro allein aufgrund der verschiedenen Anblicke die sich uns da geboten haben mehr als wert. Trim Castle, Hill of Tara, Slane Castle. War schon ziemlich cool. 🙂
