Where the streets have no names

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I’m here at my hostel in Dublin! It’s called the Litton Lane Hostel. It use to be a recording studio for acts like U2, The Cranberries, Van Morrison etc..etc.. There is a lot of art work around the hotel I’m going to take photos of later. The place is also in a great location! And they weren’t joking when they say the Irish were friendly. I got lost trying to find the place (what’s new?) so I asked 2 of these ladies about to cross a street. What they do is they even called the place up for me to double check where the hostel was located…. When I got to the Litton Lane Hostel – I was greeted by the very friendly receptionist guy Anthony… My room however is on the top floor (4 flights of stairs!)…and they put me on the top bunk! :-( But still, it’s a nice quaint hostel with FREE WIFI! How refreshing is that? I’m actually in the common room now, it smells a little funny bu its really quite comfy….did I already mention they have FREE WIFI? I am a little more mobile now because during my arrival from Denmark and waiting to fly to Dublin – I bought myself a NEW phone…tax free! I got a K800i phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera. It’s on the Vodaphone network so call / sms rates are kind of high and I Will eventually have to unlock the phone to use the phone for other mobile networks – but a phone is a phone and you can pretty much unlock a phone by yourself these days.

I don’t know how to start with Dublin. It looks like a beautiful city with lots to do. I have 3 nights here. I may spend all of tomorrow on the Dart train going from place to place… Now I have 2 cameras! :-) The crappy part right now is I know Aunt Flow is visiting. Actually I think she’s already here – I’m too afraid to check though :-/
