The Louis Fitzgerald Hotel Dublin

Three weeks is just the right amount of time to really soak a place up. You have your routine routes and your preferred pubs. You've walked the city enough that you begin to know how all the neighborhoods piece together.

Your bed feels like yours, no matter how skinny and springy it may be, and you sleep well on it. In ...

... can tell they put a lot of money and time into it. We also got to see a guy who has one of the best jobs in the world. He’s one of the official Guinness tasters who makes sure that each new batch of Guinness tastes and smells as it should ensuring consistency of their product. On the top floor of the tour was a great view of the whole city of Dublin. It was a bit crowded on top so we went down a couple floors to enjoy our fresh Guinness.

My flight was 11:00am, so with a 20 minute tube ride, and an hour train ride to Stansted Airport I decided to be up for 7:00am, leave the hostel at 8:00am, that should have given me plenty of time. Unfortuanlly I slept through my alarm and woke up bright eyed at approx 9:20am, and hour and 20 minutes before my ...

... how much I love walking around in wet jeans. After a short introduction, we all talked abit about Dublin and next thing we know, we are back on O'Connell. They guys were nice enough to pick up the whole tab and left us with a "You guys have fun in Dublin and go back and tell everyone that the Irish aren't so bad." Hell, I never thought they were to begin with, but ok ......THE IRISH PEOPLE ARE NOT SO BAD. My job is done. But seriously, they were very nice as was ...

After Beijing I hope I will have enough money to visit the rest of Sth Asia, and go to Australia for a year. Well at the moement that's only a plan.

... towards Grafton Street, and did some shopping. I bought so many souvenirs for people - leprechaun pens, guinness bottle openers, irish blessing magnets, celtic bookmarks, leprechaun toys, tshirts, keyrings, postcards and even a 99 euro bag that said "The Leprechauns made me buy it" cute. But they were so cute. I'm a sucker for leprechauns ...
