the work begins

Thursday we had the first day in our Irish company. I am in a company calls Computer Factory. My boss Peter is very cool. He speaks German to. He make his money by Refurbishing. It means he repair or upgrade computer for resell. Firstly we take a tour through the company and then we set up our workplaces. I am there with two other guys from another OSZIMT class.

 

On Friday we go to Facebook in Dublin to securely erase hard drives. Facebook is a great employer I think. There you can meet a lot of interesting people, eat drink and candy is for free, but the best of all is the lounge at the top of the building. There is a pool table and a football table or you can sit on the terrace. It was nice.

Good by Germany

Tuesday we went to ireland. It was my first flight, and certainly some moments were exciting. At the start a plane developed a decent boost but the weight will also be brought into the air. When we arrived in Dublin we were picked up and taken to our apartments. The apartments is in a refined but also more expensive region. First of all we have to buy our food and scout the area.

 

 

On the second day in ireland we meet Margaret, our contact person in Ireland. There we learn something about our stay and work. After that we went to the Guinness factory. It was very interesting. 😉

Greetings from Belfast

Hello everyone and greetings to all,

its allready day 5 of our trip to Ireland and i finally got some internet to work.

We arrived on Tuesday. The flight was a bit delayed but that was bearable. Start and Landing was awesome, i just love it to fly especially when i get my window seat 😉

 

We landed, got our bags and went to the bus station, got our tickets, waited, bus came, we got in and GO!

The Bustrip was relaxed. We had much more leg room and a big window!

most of us were sleeping but i tried not to, because the landscape was beautiful. Alot of green hills with alot more sheeps and cows 😀

 

Arrived in Belfast, Hannah our agent from Intern Europe welcomed us and got us some cabs, we drove to our accommodation and.. yes.. got some new interessting impressions how to life for the next 2 months.

 

To be honest.. the accommodation is good and there are just tiny things you could complain about..

Heating, fridge and warm water is working, we have a shower and a toilet and sinks in every room… All you need! BUT we have NO INTERNET….. come on thats not funny! seriously…

We bought some Sim-Cards with data volume to fix this and maybe next week we get „real internet“ means some wlan-dongles… we will see.

That’s all for the first day. Bye
