Dublin impression

---

Irish people are like everywhere else in Europe very proud on their politicians.
The way they accommondated the bankers in their search for a good life brought the politicians a lot of admiration.
The irish people found after long research the test all candidates who want to become politician has to make. It goes as follows:
Duration max 35 minutes.
They don t have to be able to read or write. However talking at least 30 minutes without saying something give them the chanche to get a number from their party to join the next elections.

You can see already some signs of the crisis Ireland is in. Taxidrivers complaint about the weather and about people who are not spending anymore,
Parents are complaing about children who emigrates. Emigration the old medicine for Ireland in difficult times.

The Irish give no reaction on the cold weather by wearing warmer clothes.They are short sleaved by 15 degrees and sit outside.
The train tickets are checked at the entrance of the station, in the train again, there they call it ticket service and again by leaving the station
In the west they are still digging for TURF whats the english for it? You dig it right under the grass winddry them and use them as fuel.

Dublin certainly a place to come back one time and see more of it
