... actually work for me to do that is. Some days I find myself having extremely little to do, which can get pretty boring. I have about a 25min walk to work, which I do through rain, hail or sunshine (mostly rain...hehe). It is a great walk and again has cut down on transportation costs and given me some much needed exercise. I have only been drenched (totally wet) a few times, but this is Ireland! Due to Max having trouble finding work for the ...

We started the day at the luxurious Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa, where we had spent the night. We had a bedroom with a king bed and a bathroom with a tub and a stall shower. Somewhat of a last stand for luxury because now we are in a fairly modest place in Dublin. I was rather nervous when I saw the disdainful reviews of this place on Trip Advisor - after all, I had prepaid for the place on Expedia - and people were reporting that their toilets didn't work (that ...

... t really hopeful of the refund happening, given Ryanair is a budget airline (and that they are currently debating whether to charge people for 'using the loo' mid-air, by having a coinslot for toilet entry!). Nevertheless, hat off to them, I have heard from Clare on this fine evening (8th March 2009) that they are going to refund the flight she had to purchase! She has yet to see the money in her account, but I feel this is definitely good progress! Hurrah!

... in front of us. Had a nice fish curry not long after take off. We spent a lot of this flight trying to keep the curtains closed in front of us as staff and passengers would go through and not close over the curtain therefore letting the light in and stopping us from sleeping - that and the fact that Chris chose to watch the longest and brightest Indian film in History kept us rather awake. Amazingly my back-ache somehow disappeared over the 3 flights!

... laneways dissect the ramshackle structures housing hordes of poor. A man balances 14 oil tins atop his head, a woman and child forage within a skip then drag their enormous bag of loot into the bleak warren while a goat stands proud on the corner as if surveying it's kingdom. A bleak scene it is not, merely life, alive, well and, locked into routines. The slums give way to markets as hawkers buzz in trade. Ganesh idols stand tall in between the stalls, a shrine to the ...

the guinness storehouse is is a top place to visit if you ever go to dublin it was high on my list as a place to visit while in dublin its not a once in a life time opportunity because lets face it you can get plane tickets to dublin for literally pennys and its cheap to get in to it aswell but once you are inside it is amazing the things that they do to make guinness is spectacular

This past weekend the SIT students travelled to County Mayo in the north-west of Ireland. We went there to learn about the Shell to Sea campaign and explore the natural beauty of the area. We stayed at the Kilkommen Hostel, owned and operated by the lovely Fritz and Betty. From Sunday through Thursday we met with local protesters and townspeople, went hiking, and saw a rural Irish farm. It is such an amazing area of the country. We went on a long walk along ...

... is considered a saint in Ireland for his part in brokering the peace in the region in 1998. Later that day we visited the grave of St. Patrick and his cathedral in the town of Downpatrick. We took a ferry across Strangford Lough with beautiful villages on each side. We were greeted by rain in Dublin but are staying at the beautiful SAS Radissson St. Helen's which use to be a stately castle mansion and the grounds and gardens are specatular. We attended a "shindig ...

... in a lifetime type deal. I don't think I'd go to it again because it was so crowded. I felt smothered toward the end, like I was at a concert. Plus there were more American marching bands in the parade than Irish/European things. I did not see one leprechaun or shamrock in the whole parade. Pretty bizarre. Afterward, we went to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. Every place was so busy and there were long lines to wait, but we got some good food and laughs. I ...
