Still quiet…

Hi folks, it’s me again.

 

Nothing really new to tell about my time here in Ireland.

 

At work we are still making tests with the parking machine and are fine-tuning our webpage.

 

On Tuesday I was visiting a physiotherapist for a massage to get the tension out of my back. Also I hoped that the numbness of my fingers would go away. It didn’t but it got better.

 

Yesterday I tried to cook something and, for those who now my cooking skills, it was a success.

 

 

It tasted awesome and I am kind of proud of it and myself.

 

I think that’s all for today.

 

See you soon.

What the…

Dear reader,

today nobody need to work in Germany. Strange that the foreigners in Germany have the free days from their country for free as well but I think the „Irish way“ is better in this case (maybe the first time). So I need to work, today the first time without Hugo on my side but I have enough tasks to do.

Another funny thing I don’t realize since yesterday is the fact that you’re getting more comfortable and better while you are speaking fluent English. I understand the hardest accent and can answer, without any problems to find the right words or something like that. And that’s one reason why I need to say: It’s funnier and better at work than in our apartment. I try to stay as long as possible at work and everybody who knows me must be surprised about that fact.

What I miss the most in Ireland is (of course) my family, my PC, my 100k internet connection, my TV, my bed, MY OWN ROOM and my friends :'( But it should be okay for the last 3 weeks.

By the way, it’s so funny to see how we need to spam the sh.. out of this blog to hold our „3 per week“ arrangement 😀

Cheers,
Alex

 

#14 – Smithing plans

Hihi,

As a few of us already wrote, we planned to go to the Cliffs of Moher on the extended weekend and that we were not able to go there. Reason for that is, that we would not get a rental car by any chance, as our drivers are too young. (The websites told us something different). So there we were, on Saturday morning, at the airport with no car and a booked hotel which we could not reach. The car rental service was so nice to let us go free of charge, but the papers of the hotel booking said something else (119€ per room, and we had 3 rooms).

Of course we had to cancel anyway so everyone pushed me forward again „go Stefan, your English is best…“. I always end up on the front line if its something important… Well at least I was able to cancel the booking free of charge, as I explained that we were from Germany and got faulty information from the internet and that we had no chance to get by at all.

We went home and made different plans. We went to some shopping centers and later to trinity college. Also we went to a most beautiful park (which name I forgot). We will go there again some other day. On Monday we had our second visit in Howth.

Also Nicks group found a one day bus tour to the cliffs so we will go for that next weekend.

Will tell you about, i’m excited to go there!

Cheers!
