the name of this post is a random advertisement we saw. thus, an example of how things here are different and sometimes just dont make sense.
nothing too exciting has happened in the past few days. last friday, we took a trip down to the docklands which is an area in the east of dublin. it was flourishing a few years ago as developers came and invested in it, but since Ireland is having terrible economic troubles, all the projects that were underwar have been deserted. It was interesting to hear how the collapse of the Anglo-Irish bank has left the country in a very tough economic position.
This weekend we went to both the Jameson whiskey distillery and the Guiness brewery. Both of these were lots of fun, and had delicious drinks for us at the end of the tours. Yesterday was another field trip, this time to the Glencree center for peace and reconcilliation. It was a very long day, but we learned a lot more about the conflict in Northern Ireland and the violence that took place in the 70s and 80s. I don't have any pictures to share right now, but I'll try to post some in a few days. Tomorrow is the MGMT concert, which I am very excited for. That's all for now!
Awesome post. Try Jameson with cranberry juice. It's like cranberry vodka went and joined a sorority and became a million times cooler automatically.
ReplyDeleteGreat activities. Keep up the blog - its fun to follow what you're doing. I don't know what MGMT is but I assume its a group. Have to run - DC Housewives are on...
