On Saturday I met a friend in the City Centre who is also in Ireland at the moment.
First of all I have shown him the City Centre.
We visit various shops and in the evening we watched the film „Furious 7“ in the cinema.
Afterwards we were in Temple bar and visited different pubs.

Our job of the last days was it to find a solution of the Cloud.
In the afternoon my colleague of the vocational school and I joined a gym near our work.
We have the possibility to use fitness devices, a swimming-pool and a sauna as well.
All in one, a good alternative after work.

Wednesday we should pick up some software for our company.
We took it form another company (Lantech) which is located on our way to work.
When we arrived at work we installed the software. Afterwards we should find a solution for the Cloud.
With the Cloud it concerns an easy dropbox solution. The company wishes to have the possibility, to scan bills and other documents with a network-scanner and it should be uploaded in the Cloud directly. The main-reason is, to have access to the files from other locations.
We should also collect group-policies that only selected people has access to selected files.
In the evening we were only at the supermarket and have informed us what we can visit in Ireland.
Monday 13.04.2015
Our first job was it to collect a network plan.
The PC`s of the employees should be in the intended ports (in the ground-boxes).
Afterwards the ports should be assigned at the matching switch.
The phones occurs with VOIP about the PC`s, for that reason the old phones should be removed.
We should write it down and checked if the connections work fine.
Afterwards we have effected local software installations and have got further information about the conversion of the Cloud.
In the evening we have had a look at other places in the city centre of Dublin.
… was quiet calm…
We walked through the city again, looking for some bike shops to maybe buy one and split the costs but 160pounds was a bit to much.
Finally got some Sim-Cards and our holy data volume! In the evening we were a bit lazy and exhausted and we cooked some stuff together and drunk some beer and other things 😉
Our „living-room“ isn’t that big but it seems big enough for 7 seats and one table…
Sunday? Resting!
Greeting from Belfast,
Thursday and Friday me and one other of my roommates got lucky and we got told to start work on Monday. So best time to explore the City and damn we did! Thanks to Apple tracking all data they can get into their fingers it is confirmed we walked 35km in that two days.. yes feets were bleeding.
Belfast is a nice calm town, no massive building and all looks a bit old, but nice.
We are placed near the center of the City, good for sightsseeing and visit shops and stuff like this you know.
We also checked out some pubs to explore the habits of the northern Irish people 😉
Friday 10.04.2015
Officially on Thursday (09.04.2015) should be my first working day.
Usually I should work for the company Hybrid Technology Partners.
On this day I get the information that the company be arranged in Limerick (200 km way from Dublin). It was a mistake from the Agency so they have to find a new company for me.
So my first working day started on Friday (10.04.2015) at Origin Multilingual.
I am accommodated with a class-mate from my vocational school in this company now.
In the following next 2 month it will be our task to put files into a Cloud as well as to update the complete network hardware technically.
In the evening we went to temple bar. It’s a district in the center of Dublin and there are many different pubs. Especially Tourists prefer this district. We was at the so-called „living room“ and the „O’reillys“. It was quite more expensive but nevertheless more amusing.
Wednesday 08.04.2015
First of all we met us at the Guiness Enterprise center.
There is the office of the agency (Internsplus) which has further arranged us to a different company.
Our contact Margaret Purdy gave us general information about our company and our stay in Dublin.
Afterwards we went to the Guiness Storehouse. It is subdivided into different floors.
You have the possibility to go to the museum, you can craft the perfect pint of Guiness in the Guiness Academy or you can simply enjoy a cold beer.
Tuesday 07.04.2015
Due to a delay of our flight, we landed in Dublin at 01.00 pm.
After we had collected our baggage, we were greeted by our driver who bring us to our Appartements. He also give us the main information about our stay in Ireland.
Afterwards we get the Keys of our Appartements.
The rest of the day we use to go to the supermarket and to explore our area.
Dublin is a very small but nevertheless very beautiful town with a total area of almost 115 km².
There is very much entertainment especially for young people.
On Friday afternoon we have check the nightlife of Dublin. Firstly we went to O’Reilly’s Bar and drink a Pint. Then we went to McDonalds and to the livingroom, a bar where you can play Pool or watch Sport in TV.We leave the livingroon quite fast. The music was very loud and it it hurt in the ears. After this shock we have to go back to the O’Reilly’s. After a few funny hours we go home.
The other time of this weekend we relax and do nothing. It was a good first weekend and so the time in ireland can continue…
