Howth Lighthouse

Howth Lighthouse

Trip to Howth

Wir sind am Freitag auf Howth gewesen.Das Cliff-walk ist ziemlich bekannt, und in anderthalb Stunden sind wir um den Halbinsel spaziert. Essen sollte teuer sein, aber frisch aus dem See. Wir aBen Fishermann's chowder in einem der Pubs fuer 5,50 und trotz des kleinen Portions war esOk fuer ein Mittagessen. Natuerlich bin ich ken normaler Mensch in diesem Zusammenhang, also hatte ich noch Spring-Rolls mit Tuna im Fast-Food.:-D

frueher hatte Irland eine ziemlich grose Fischerflotte, aber im Atlantik haben die Spaniern die Seekreaturen ueberfischt, und die kleine Irische Kuttern konnten sowieso nicht mithalten. Heute leben immer weniger Leute aus dem See und die Iren essen wenig Fisch. Die Fischmarkt in Dublin ist nur vor 2-3 Jahren verschwunden und in Dun Laoghaire sind es um 7-8 Fischerboote.

Das cliffwalk ist mehr als empfehlenswert, jeder der nach Dublin kommt sollte es machen.

Party

Yesterday I met up with the spanish in Dun Laoghaire. You can't imagine how annoying it can be when 20 people shout around you, and you just don't get it. However most of them switched to English when I asked them. We made our way into town with almost the last DART, after waiting because a boy and a girl broke up. After waiting for the arguing couple again, two girls and me just left and went to XXI.

The night went great, some drinks, bad music, but nice people and great time.On the bus I was lucky to sit down beside Germans and they didn't know I understodd them, so it was a bit awkward when I revealed I do. Still we changed phone numbers and will meet sometime.I got home at around 4 o'clock.

P.S.:Today is the Ireland against Scotland rugby game and the city is filled with kilts.

Friday

Well, as I said, there is nothing happening. An Austrian lad who came after Christmas went back; he did not like Ireland. I draw a poster, I may do a better version and than post it.
OK, i found something important; I will have a training session by the Navy on Sunday.Great!!:-D
Tonight we'll go into town (i.e. Dublin city center) with a spanish fella.

P.S.:i listen and learn Billy Joel-Piano man on harmonica

Communism failed because it wasn't sexy.

Wednesday:
we had a waterpolo game and played bad: still we win 15 to 8 against the boarding school.
In the afternoon i had the interview at Stephen's Green club.They were late and we only got the results at 9pm, I do not go to Starsbourg. Anyway, I didn't feel sad about it as I have contacts (phone numbers of beautiful girls) and got some excellent books.
Thursday: a boring and long day in school.
Friday: almost the same just that had one more free class.

P.S.:the title is from my business teacher: Mr L..... We play L..... bingo at the time for example; he uses the same examples pretty often and cracks bad jokes or recalls old memories of his.Every player gets a card with three of these on it.Whoever collects all on his card(he says those things) wins.He just has to shout L...... bingo in the class.
