The last few days have been great.. Let's see shall we run down the checklist of my events in Ireland??


Welcome to the Check list of events completed in Ireland in the last few days with a brief desciption.



Seen irish man completly freak out at tourist info center.. this involved counter kicking and alot of spit. CHECK

This happened a few days ago.. We honestly couldn't understand any word except shit and something to do with bus. It was very angry and the guards were there within minutes.


Visiting interest museums including many stuffed dead animals and million dollar paintings..... CHECK

This one building was outstanding it had 4 floors wall to wall of stuffed animals. The main floor was all of the animals in the irish sea and on the island of ireland. The other floors contained everything from ALL over the world. a little creepy... alot interesting.


Getting in trouble for taking pictures of stuff animals... CHECK

Oops... ha ha. What sign?


Seeing beautiful park CHECK

Uhm yup kinda self explained.


Watching world champion busking festival CHECK

Oh this was cool there was a guy that never even spoke not a single word, but through all kinds of gestures and tricks he had the audience doubled over. A couple who did an amazing acrobatic routine.


Walking through see of crazed gaelic football fans CHECK

ok I had never even heard of this before. It was not even Dublins team playing and it was a sea of green, red, orange and yellow.


Watching bloodied crazed gaelic football fan with father who yeilds a knive and says "I'm going to kill him" CHECK

Yup very freaky.
