i've been to a bunch of pubs already and drank lots of guiness. We did this one thing one night called the pub crawl. And basically we take this thing called DART (equivalent of our BART) and we went to the very last station. Then we take the DART back towards our original stop but we stop at each station along the way and go to a pub. So we drank 1 beer/drink at each stop. THere were about 8 stops or so and we had 15-20min at each to finish our drink. It was awesome. About 4 guys in our group were dumbasses and actually walked across the rail tracks to get to the other side. the Guarda (AKA police) stopped them and we all left them (our social host told us to go and said they'll catch up with us)..i think they are just gonna get fined.
we took a weekend trip to Belfast which is in NOthern Ireland. It was pretty cool. The shopping was really cheap there. And there was a festival going on so we got to see a parade, we met the lord mayor, we got free food from countries around the world (india, philipines, china, latvia, poland, ireland, jamaica) and we got free mehndi on our hands. it was really fun. But we stayed in a hostel! SO WEIRD! it was supposedly a nice hostel but hostels are jsut yucky. anyways.
so yeah so far i'm having fun..the only part that sucks is that it rains sooo much here and Dublin is soo expensive. but i'm looking forward to the Guiness factory tour! :D haha. kay see ya soon...i'll be back July 8th!

I am glad to hear you are having fun and trying to absorb yourself into the culture. Yeah, you should definitely take advantage of the cuisine out there, i hear its supposed to be the best or atleast some of the most diverse food. I was wondering about you drinking guiness, its a little harsh for my taste, but I think like everyone drinks guiness out there (guiness = Irish for beer). I am sure you are loving the Irish accent out there, me and wendy are going to try to make a funny documentary on your experiences in Ireland. Oh yeah I was curious about Belfast is it still split into 2 territories? Is there propaganda paintings everywhere? If so did you go on the side where the guys are masked in the paintings?
someone watched a documentary on ireland...
take hELLA pictures and post them bastage!
Sounds like you're having a lot of fun, Mandeep. Keep representin' and see you when you get back.
