The 17th March is for Irish important day, is it St. Patrick's Day and in Dublin is organized St. Patrick's festival every year. Here are some pictures from this festival...

Great Country, beautiful landscape, lovely ppl....

Today I was rudely awaken at around 10 by my 1 year old niece Emma as she came into my room holding a letter for me. The sudden realisation of impending doom hit me like a steam train out of control. Today was the day that I would find out if I passed my final exams to be a qualified accountant. I…

We woke up early this morning because we had to check out of the 10 person dorm into the 4 person room at the same hostel.  Our only plans for today was to take it easy, seeing that we went hard core for the last couple of days.  We planned internet time, then a walk to phoenix park, the …

My last day in Makkah. But certainly not the last time in my life. I will remember how poignant it was seeing Kaabah in front of my eyes. For more than a week my everyday routine filled with tawaf , compulsory pray together with sunnah pray. I made promise to myself that I won’t miss everyday p…

This is probably my 10th blog about Dublin as every trip that I made so far has to start somewhere and Dublin is where I reside. The way this site documenting the trip chronologically by day and place is interesting and fun to write about. I like the green map and the blue path!. It will not be for…

Last night I almost went to Temple Bar, but instead ended up at an even worse tourist bar called Turk's Head or something.  I met a gal rooming in my dorm - an Austrian gal with miles of legs (about six feet tall).  She has been in Dublin over a week and I know my way around better t…

I realy do not like goodbyes. As a rule, saying goodbye means the end of something and the transition to something new. Why change something if you are having fun? Goodbye feels almost too final. The end. Then again, with all change you simply have to accept it, embrace it and go with the flow …

The George is a pub and nightclub on South Great Georges Street and is the oldest and most well known gay establishment in Ireland and probably Europe since it first opened in 1985, a good enough persuasion for me to visit! Me, Lori and Mike went for drinks first at Fitzsimons and then a gay bar ca…

We arrived in Dublin and checked into our hostel. We walked into the common room of Litton Lane Hostel to see what was going on and encountered a handful of Spainards all entranced by the glowing of their laptops. They barely looked up to register our presence. Didn't look like it was going to be t…

The tour bus pulled back into Dublin at about 6 in the evening, and awe all got off and went our separate ways.  I wanted to go to Scotland tomorrow, but I actually had no way of getting there, I had not even booked my flight!  So, I headed into an internet cafe and searched RyanAir. …

  On our way back to Dublin, we ended up staying in Athlone as that seemed to be the most populous town on the route we were taking.  Driving and parking in the downtown area was a nightmare, so we went outside of the downtown area and found a B&B that was connected to a pub.  T…

And from Glendalough, we played Hangman for the rest of the duration of the bus (I was the STAR!) until we reached Dublin. We were to reach Dublin at 6pm but we were well ahead...reaching by 4pm. This caused frustration amongst  many people as the real reason we reached this early was because …

Flooding today in Dublin!  Part of the airport roof collapsed, as did a local hospital roof.  Nobody was hurt, so that is good.  We've apparently been outrunning all sorts of natural disasters on this trip, most recently storms in N. Ireland, heat wave now in England, and flooding la…

On Sunday I met Christin for sushi.First I had a coffee in McCafe (served in a glass!?), then she cheated by having a quick cheese burger. We went to Phil Lynott's statue and watched the people for a while.Meeting point was the statue of Molly Melone. We met some colleagues of hers and then went to…
