This was the start of my weekend, Arturs just had his birthday on Tuesday, he spent the night worshiping my toilet. The boy has a long way to come when it comes to getting drunk. But then again, to be able to drink at 18, not happening in America. Wednesday, recovery day, just a nice sit, relax, watch movies and eat day. I came to Dublin to see if I could locate my niche in the city. I tried the Rock club the weekend before, ended with me walking out. What I am looking for is live music, with a bit of punk and or metal. I know that this is not Munich, but shit it can not be that hard to find. With facing defeat, I booked a hostel bed in Belfast. The weekend must ... read more

With nothing going on in Carlow, Arturs and I decided to go to Dublin for the night too see what night life we could find. With waving off the true fact that he is only 17, but so close now by days, we decided to try our luck. With no problems we were able to walk right past security. OK, so you have a older friend who could be a brother walking in with, it is no longer a big deal. Heck, if I was working the door I would think nothing of it. When we first got to Dublin and after check in two of us walked down to the supermarket for beer and food. We ate at the hostel and watched a bit of TV while getting the home drink on. Then off into ... read more

On Wednesdays I do not have class. My original plan for these days is to travel and relax a bit. But with waiting for my money to hit the bank I thought it better to sit low for this past month. Artur and I had talked about meeting some time to go swimming. What I wanted to do was sit in the hot tub. He was able to get directions to the pool from his mother and sugested that we go today. With typical Irish weather (sun and mild) we decided to go swimming. Just one problem, I do not have swimware. So we set out to buy some. The second store we hit pay dirt. The store is, how about this, a sports store,,,Go figure... I found mine at 8€ and swim cap for 3€, ... read more

Well today I walked around town looking at what I left in the past. I miss this place.. I did think about comming over in time to partake in christmass but I thought it to be better to do this with family. Being here now I am glad that I made this choice. Christmas is a time to be spent with family and friends alike, and for the past 10 years I have had my own christmas. It was nice to come back and see the tree infront of the town hall. It made me realize that I wish my American friends would have come with. But at least I have the friends here in Munich. Just thought I would drop a few pics of the day. And yes it was cold. The thing that struck ... read more

So dark and early in the morning I woke up to face the long lines, sreaming children, the travelers fighting with over stuffed baggage and just general confusion. I would say stupid but that is not the right word. The morning in was uneventfull, there were no protesters standing outside the door yelling at me to leave America and go back to Europe. Infact it was just foggy and warm. Infact the snow was melting and causing consern for flooding. The only downfall to warm weather is that the roads break up into masive potholes. I know that my Dad started having fun with driving around the breakups in the road. Then at the airport, it was the typical good bye and have a good time, email when you have the chance. And they were off, ... read more
