9 days of nearly perfect weather was good while it lasted. Now it’s raining, cold and wet and I’m hanging out in the “common room” at the Litton Hostel enjoying free wifi.

Dublin is one of those places you should tell everyone to go to. There’s no way I can cover even 25% of the things I want to do for the 3 nights/4 days I’m here (I’m leaving tomorrow) I did make it a point to do the utmost tourist thing though yesterday. I got on one of those hop on/off Dublin city tour buses and I went to the Guinness Storage Warehouse to learn about how Guinness is made and treat myself to a free pint after. 1 pint turned into 2 pints. For me that is a math equation for overspending at the gift shop! I got two things to decorate my new home back in KL and a bottle opener keychain. I spent something like 60 Euros…but at least I got a free pint glass! After spending nearly half the day at the Guinness factory I hopped on the bus again and got off at the Temple Bar area and did some walking. I saw these group of people cutting up old beer cans and making them into ashtrays. The sign they had up said “We are graduates, and…WE DON’T FIND A JOB!…Please!”. The were selling the ashtrays for one Euro each. A little pricy but they were really nice so I bought 2! It’s a pity my feet are totally ruined or I’d walk the whole city… And as I suspected, Aunt Flow is here – but I’m handling her remarkably well then I would other days!

After a nap – I went to the kitchen to eat something and I met 2 American girls Shannon & Amanda from Maine. We decided to go for a drink at Quays in Temple Bar – that led to another pub to another and another. It was fun though and  if by some chance they are reading this – drop a sister a line! It’s been my thing this trip to meet people and lose contact with them cause of a) lost phone b) lost among a sea of people.

I’ll be posting pictures and videos up soon!
