A very nice weekend

Hi guys,

 

this weekend was very amazing. We had do two tours. On Saturday we visited the Cliff of Moher and on Sunday we did the Celtic Tour.

On Saturday the night was very short. At 5 a.m. we woke up and went to the meeting point, where the tour started. The weather wasn’t good at the beginning, because it was rainy. Our first stop was a very little castle. It was nice. After 3 hours and many stops we arrived at the cliffs.

Stefan and I explored the left side of the cliffs first. So we lost the other guys :D. The view was very stunning. I would want to jump into the water to surf.

When we were at the cliffs the weather was very nice. It was sunny and windy. After a short walk, we searched for the other guys at the right side of the cliffs. On the way to them, Stefan and I did an involuntarily stop, because the wind was so strong that Stefan had to hold on a fence and I perched on a stair. So luckily we were not blown away, or down the cliffs.

After the cliffs we had lunch in a very little restaurant. The prices were high and the portion of food was very small. After we finished lunch went home, with a few stops at the coast. I like the coast and so I made many photos.

At home we relaxed and went to bed earlier as usual.

 

At Sunday the weather was very bad, because it rained a lot. We visited many typical Irish and Celtic places. At first we visited the Hill of Tara. Although it rained a lot for the most time, we stayed quite long.

Our tour guide was quite impressed. His name was Mark and he was very funny. I understood him very well, because he spoke slow and in a well English.
At the tour we got a lot of information about the Irish and Celtic history and the Irish culture. It was really a beautiful and nice day.

At home I eat a pizza and went to bed early, because I was very exhausted.

 

 

You see it was a stuffed but very nice weekend. Also see you later guys

I am the better chef

How it’s goin’ Guys?

 

In the last two days not much happened. I think we work too much and so we have no enough time to do what we would like to do.

Every evening I’m more exhausted as in Germany. The result of this is, that we don’t go to any pub or that we do other things.

Yesterday was a very sad day, because all Germans had a holiday / mens day.  All my friends sent me funny pictures from the bicycle tour and I had to work.
After work we had a healthy dinner and we relaxed and had a Guinness.

Unlikes other I think my food at least looks tasty….. or? (Well actually I believe it tastes better as well)

JUMMY

At work I have many problems with my project. Last week the project changed very often.

Any time I try something I get different problems which are very hard to fix.

Today I had an accomplishment. My project is almost done. I ‘ll not go to a disco or something, because tomorrow we have to start in the early morning. Our bus tour begins at 6:50 a.m.

Also I am relaxing now and I do nothing.

 

See you later

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.

Week 5

Hi guys

I hope you are well.

Everything is fine here in Dublin. At Monday we were in Howth again, because this day was a bank holiday. At morning we were shopping in Lidl for food. After this shopping tour we met our colleagues in Howth. As Nick, Mike and Felix arrived in Howth later, so we walked along the beach. After the other guys arrived, we searched for a place to get lunch.  But all restaurants at the coast were too expensive, so we bought us a snack in a little shop. The people in this shop were very crazy. They took at least five orders at once. It was a big confusion.   After a good lunch we climbed the cliffs and had a nice view on the ocean. In the evening we cooked and relaxed the remaining time.

Hammer Aussicht oder?

Yesterday was a normal workday. I created a web API and learned many new things. After work I cooked fish, vegetables and rice and we relaxed the remaining evening and watched Breaking Bad. For the weekend we planned a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher and a Celtic Tour to 7 different places.

 

See you later

Long weekend failed

Hi guys,

how are you? I hope well. This weekend we had the long weekend with the bank holiday.
Our plan was, that we would rent a car and visit Ireland and the Cliffs of Moher. Everything was booked.
At sunday, as we arrived at the airport, we search for budget office first. As we spoke with the people from budget, we got to know that we are too young to rent a car. We were very konfused because at the budget website we found other information.
After this big problem we canceled the reservation. The guy from budget advised us to visit another shop. But no car rental would give us a car.
After this mess Stefan was luckily able to cancel the hotel free of charge. So we didn’t lose money.

After we arrived in our appartment we thought about what we would do this day. So we met with our other colleagues and visit the Trinity College and a very nice parc.

After a long walk Stefan and I had a burger from Supermac’s and chilled the evening.

As a result the weekend wasn’t as good as we planned it. But for the next weekend we will visit the Cliff of Moher and other place with a bus-tour like Lars did.

Meeting with my boss

Wendsday was a normal day. At work I programmed my web service again and fixed some programming issues.
After work Stefan and I went  to the “bookworm” to send our packets and then we went shopping to Lidl. At home Stefan cooked for
us. Yes I didn’t cook because this evening we had burgers and Stefan serves brilliant burgers
After a good dinner we watched the football game, it was very good 😀

Thursday I published my cloud/web service. At the beginning we had some problems, but after I solved these it worked.
After lunch I met Mr. Bavar and Mrs. Neumann, we talked with my mentor about my project etc .
Shortly after the visit from Mr. Bavar and Mrs. Neumann I programmed again. I changed my program , so that I get an email with the information,
which I will put in a database.
After a nice workday Stefan and I went to the pub at the Arlington hotel,where Mr. Bavar stayed. He spend tried us to a Guinness and we talked about something.
It was nice that we could talk so casually and not is official as I expected.

A German Final…

Hi folks, it’s me again.

 

Today we watched the match between Bayern München and Barcelona. Man, what a match.

First I thought that the Trainer should have changed Arjen Robben but later I was glad the he didn’t.

The match was so intense and we all had a lot of fun.

A German Champions League Final, awesome.

At this point I want to greet someone special in Bavaria and say congratulation. 🙂

 

At work we are finalizing our web application and are now trying to implement more and more JavaScript, JQuery and Ajax to beautify the Webpage.

Also I am learning more OOP concepts for PHP and JavaScript to make our code easier to maintain.

 

That’s all for today.

 

See you soon.

Again nothing really new…

Hi folks, it’s me again.

 

There was again nothing really new since my last post.

The Weekend was kind of quiet and I focused myself on learning some more PHP and rest.

 

Again I wonder about the weather. In one second there is the sun and it’s warm and beautiful. In the next second it is raining like it hadn’t rained for the last 3 months and a couple of seconds later it is like if nothing happened and the sun shines again.

 

At work we are trying to bring our web project to an end. We implemented JavaScript, JQuery and Ajax and are now looking for some PHP tools to debug and test everything.

While we were doing this, we also made some more tests with the machine and advanced in building our power circuits for the devices.

 

I’ll make my next post before the weekend. Until then I hope that you are enjoying what you’ve read so far.

 

See you soon.

The Weekend is over

Hi guy’s

the third week is over. Thursday and Friday were normal workdays. At Friday evening Stefan and I
had dinner at Supermac’s. After a good dinner we went to a little whiskey shop. The guy
from the shop was very funny. At the beginning he told us about some typical irish whiskey tastes. After
a little lesson we had the chance to test 2 whiskeys. They were very delicious. The decision which
whiskey to choose was hard, but with the help from this connoisseur I found good stuff.

Yesterday after a souvenier shopping tour we called Alex. We wanted to go to the coast. Alex agreed
and visited us in our arpartment. At 4 p.m. we went to the train station. It wasn’t easy to find
the train station because on the map it wasn’t shown so clearly. After a „nice“ train ride,
with a train that smelled like piss, we arrived at 5p.m. in Howth. It’s a typically coast-village.
After a long walk we saw the nice cliffs. The perspective on the cliffs was stunning.

Today is a normaly sunday. We searched for a gls shop, to get information about sending liquids to Germany.
After that we had a look at the wakeboarding area in Dublin City, because in May I would like to go wakeboarding in Dublin
😀
At home we cooked and enjoyed the evening. Also, we planned the next weekend with Nick, where we
intend to explore the country with a rental car.

Nothing really new…

Hi folks, it’s me again.

Nothing really new happened since the last post.

At work, I was able to advance in my PHP logic and finally was able to implement the correct SQL syntax so that we can now correctly insert, select, update or delete something in our database.

Yesterday we found out that we can see the match between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.

A TV Channel here in Dublin was broadcasting the match and we were gathering around our small TV and were enjoying the match.

After the match, we were all euphoric and now we want to see a German final.

 

Well, I think that’s all for today.

At the weekend we plan to go out again but this time we want to go in pub or in a club.

 

See you soon.
