one word to describe my holiday in dublin.
WIND
it was so windy, i really thought we were gonna be blown away to the irish seaaaaaaaaaa.
it was windy in the morning, afternoon and night.
we walked all over Dublin.. i kinda expected it, since i was hanging out with paiville..
the first two days of my stay in dublin started very positively. i actually got out of the house before 2pm and met paiville in the city centre.
we walked, walked and walked all over dublin.
we were in temple bar, O'Connell street, st abbey and we ended up in O'Neill's for pub lunch, which is a way of life here in dublin.
hung around for quite a few hours, then annu met us there too. decided that it was going to be a 'cake and movie' night, we went over to dunes (which is like, a store.) and got the alll important cake. the movies was supplied by me, since i went a bit nutcase over in hmv gatwick.
on our way back home, we stopped over by the ticket counter, to see if editor's gig ticket was still available. not much out of the assistant, she only pointed to the 'sold out' sign to us :(

the weekend however was filled with 'non-touristy' activities.
we went to a couple of parties, saw a truckload of Scottish man in kilts in city centre, had our usual after night out analysis talk and just having a good time.

I did manage to visit phoniex park (which is the largest park in europe), trinity college (the book of kells admission fee is such a ripoff!!), modern art museum, st stephen's freen, temple bar,grafton street and basically, all the sights and sound of dublin plus a lil bit more :)

we were suppose to visit a couple of places outside of dublin, but to sheer laziness, we didnt.
hats off to paivi for being such a good host, and her housemates. a holiday isnt a holiday if u dont have a couple of people to laugh with, trust me, we laughed a hell lot

my time in dublin shall be remembered with fondness. and it is a reminder,that i still have one place to go before visiting other country. finland.
and paiville, i shall keep my promise :)

*flux me owh, i said flux me*

ps: blogspot is being a bitch and said ' no pictures can be added on currently. bleh!~
