    Happy Christmas

    to all of you! Some of my colleagues invited my to a Christmas dinner. It was a very nice evening and the food was very delicious. Well, and today, it's raining and there is no bus service and all shops are closed, so I stay at home, write my blog and eat my chocolate (my mom send me).

    Tomorrow is Boxing Day, so everything is closed as well and there is also no bus service (thanks to Bus Eireann!) and I have to walk to Apple! This is 40 minutes or more and I am sure that's raining tomorrow, it's always raining when I'm out of house ;-).

    Before I forget, here is a weird thing in my house. It's raining from the top in my room and I don't know why.. but now 2hours later it's gone.. very strange ...

    Ok, enjoy your Holidays!

    Trip to Kinsale

    My first trip within Ireland went to Kinsale. Kinsale is a small harbour town at Irish south coast. "What can I see in Kinsale?" you might ask. There are pubs, pubs and pubs, some craft shops and one or two seafood restaurants. It's a very tourist city, but there is a castle (I haven't seen it,maybe next time) and the nature is very beautiful. The south coast isn't so spectacular as the west or east coast but is beautiful as well.

    I skipped the town today and walked to the coast. As you can see on the pictures, it's nice there and today was a very nice day, sunshine all the time. I saw cows and baby cows and this crazy dog, you can see on the pic. There was a very dangerous looking abyss, but - was able to make pictures ;-) I'm a hero ;-)

    Now some Infos for people who wants to come to Kinsale too. There is bus from Cork Bus Station, Number 249. The bus starts 45 every hour on Saturdays and the last bus back is at 7:45pm. The return ticket costs about 8.70eur and the ride takes 50minutes approximately.

    Ok that's all ;-). Tomorrow I have to work and on the 24th as well, but I go with my colleagues in a pub later and on the 25th is Christmas! This means everything is closed in Ireland, no Bus, Train, open Shops...nothing. You have a free day and can't do anything! And of course no pubs! That can be the hell ;-)

    Training is over

    Training in Apple is over, I passed the tests successful ;-)

    Great! It's so nice here, the people are so friendly and the job makes really but there is one very bad thing and it was my faul!

    The room I rent is so terrible, I live here with 5 Irish people and they do nothing. They clean nothing and the house is old but the rent very high.. how can this happen? Hey it was dark as I saw it :-) But I'm looking for a new flat in January.

    Something about Irish drinking culture:

    I always thought it's just a phenomenon, but it's true. Irish drinking so long until they fall into coma, only English people can handle this better :-). But for all this, there is a high number of security all around and you can't take glass or bottles on the dance floor. Ok the rest of the story follows tomorrow
