Barbecue and PUBlic viewing

Hey everyone,

the weekend was very nice and passed quickly. We used the fine weather and the good atmosphere for a nice barbecue. At Saturday midday I met Joel and his girlfriend in the city centre and showed them a little bit of Dublin. After that we went home and had a delicious barbecue with a lot of family members and friends of the Brady’s. In the late evening we all went to the „Cat and Cage“. We watched the last match of the World Cup and had a few beer.

Today I, Jonas, Paul, his sister and her husband went to Carlingford. We had a nice walk and lunch in the alleys and enjoyed the nice weather.

One week down..Seven to go

Hey everyone,

the first week is nearly over and it has not been boring. I think the next seven weeks will be just as exciting. So far my experieces in dublin have been very educational. In the school we were split up into 2 classes. In my class we have learnt some phrases and about the tenses. We talked about life experiences and discussed some sensitive topics like data security and working with the Internet.

On Thursday Margaret has visited us and gave us the important information about where and in which company we will work. I am very lucky that my workplace is nearly 15 minuts away from home.
All other students are forced to work in the city centre, which means that they have a much longer way to commute everyday.

Today was the most exicting day of the week, because we went to the „Guinniss Storehouse“. It has four floors and a dome on top. In the dome we have recieved a free pint and had a very nice view over the whole city.

After that, Angelo, Toni an I visited the old monuments of old Dulblin and enjoyed the Friday afternoon.

..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“.

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.
