Today, after our language school, we met Margaret the first time. She told us where we will work for the next 7 weeks. I’ll work for a company thats named Celtrino in the city centre of Dublin. Its a IT consulting company for Electronic Sales/Purchase Processing. I’m really looking forward to work with them.

Start in School Life
Hello There!
Today we had our first school day. After getting up and eat some breakfast we got on our way to the international house, the place where we have our language classes. At the house we met the some people from the other classes from our school and we met some new people. It started with a introduction presentation and get to know the others. After that Leo and I got seperated from the other because we were the better speaker. The class itself were quite boring because there was nothing really new but it was fun talking to the guys from spain.
At 1:00 pm we were free to go but just until 2:00 pm where we had to go back for a social activity. Jane were introduced to us and she told us a bit about the nightlife of Belfast and where we could go for a drink. She took us made some pictures with us and the we went for a little walk in Belfast. It was quite intresting and Jane is a super nice person but we had to cut the trip of because we had a termin at 3:00 pm regarding our work placements.
Later that evening Leo and I went to this pub Jane invited us to go, the „Dirty Onion“. We met Jane and the the guys from spain again. Leo bought me a Guinness and I got into a nice conversation with one of the spains regarding our internship here and how the apprenticeship system works in germany. In the middle of the talk we were interrupted by that guy who teaches „Bodhrán“. He asked us if we are intrested in learning how to play that instrument, what is a drum like instrument, and we glady accepted his offer. After one our of playing I noticed that I have no feel for rythms or that kind of stuff, but it was still fun to play and to try it out. We decided to get home after that because it was already late and we have to get up early in the morning.
After all it was a fun day and I am looking foward to all the things we will see and learn.
..not enough time on a single day
On my second day in Dublin Angelo and I explored the city. At first we tried to figure out the public transportation via bus, which was more diffucult than we expected it to be. We drove to the city centre were we saw „The Spire“.
From there we walked to the ministery district were we had a great view at „The Custom House“ and „The Ulster Bank“.
Standing on a small bridge that crosses the „River Liffey“ we were planning the rest of our day. Since we were really hungry we decided to go to the „Temple Bar“ district and order some delicious italien food.
After that, we picked up Toni and went to the famous „The Temple Bar“ in Temple Bar.The drinks were good but the prices not, but it was worth it.
I would have loved to see more of Dublin, but there was not enough time on a single day.
