São assim as nossas manhãs em Dublin. O sol nascendo sobre as águas do Liffey no centro da cidade que já está acordada há muito tempo... Como a gente que, de dentro do ônibus assiste o frio fora da janela deixando cada vez mais rosa as bochechas dos irlandeses mal humorados. É mais um dia de aula e a parte mais difícil já passou. Colocar os pés para fora de casa não tem sido uma missão muito agradável uma vez que o vento úmido da cidade aumenta ainda mais a baixa sensação térmica (ou seria 'diminui'?). Alguns "the book is on the table" depois estamos livres para as intermináveis caminhadas que têem tomado as nossas tardes. Um dia, em direção ao banco, outros à imigração, mercado, trabalho... Quando menos percebemos já é tarde e hora de ... read more

This entry is long overdue (writing it as of 02/04/07). The trip to Ireland was wonderful. My mom, while planning the whole trip (England, Bahrain, Ireland), found out that the cost to stay over a day in Dublin didn't add any to the price of the airline ticket. So, it was a great opportunity for us to drop in and visit cousin Thea and for mom to see Dublin. We arrived on an overcast day, but the approach of the plane was close enough to the ground to see the shoreline, some Irish countryside, and parts of Dublin. After arriving at the airport we stopped by the ATM to get some Euros and then took the 476 double-decker bus to St. Stephen's Green (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Stephen's_Green). We sat on the top deck one row from the front, which ... read more

I spent the entry into 2007 as I meant to go on for later in the year, not in the UK. Geographically not very distant, I had a great time in Dublin with Erika’s family, with many things to see and do: visitdublin.com, or Dublin for Visitors, or Discover Ireland. A bit of local knowledge, and some tourist-traps! We started with a bit of an unashamed tourist tour, starting with Grafton Street (which even I have heard of, although my knowledge of Dublin is pretty limited, and I’d not had time to look up much about it before going!), then round various spots of ‘interest’, via Butlers Chocolate Café (www.butlerschocolates.com), which was DELICIOUS, if a little crowded (but what... read more

... et pour finir ce séjour, quoi de mieux que d'aller dans un bon pub irlandais! Soirée entre filles, installées à une table juste devant la scène pour apprécier au mieux le groupe folk irlandais du jeudi soir. On trinque à la fin de notre stage de 2eme année, et on se met dans l'ambiance... Ce sera donc mon dernier article... et pour finir en beauté, j'annonce OFFICIELLEMENT (n'est-ce pas papa??) que j'ai eu mon TOEIC! See you soon xxx ... read more
