Second first week of internship

After being on antibiotics for a couple of days and being in my new house I started to feel a bit better on Sunday; the day before I would start my second first week of internship. In the evening I felt good enough to join my housemates to an introduction in Irish folk dancing on the [...]

Irish phone number

From now on I have an Irish phone number. I wont use my Dutch phone at all during my time in Ireland. So if you want to call or text me, I will be available at a different number (which I wont give here [...]

Bad first week of internship

Although my cold was still pretty bad on Monday morning and I only slept for three hours my internship started at 10am. First I had some trouble finding the right place and when I finally found the place no one was there. I looked around for a few seconds until I heard my name. Someone just [...]

Blarney Castle – The home of the Blarney stone

Finally Ireland is showing its real beauty to me. From Tuesday on the weather is beautiful with sunshine all around and increasing temperatures from 14 degrees on Tuesday to 18 now in the weekend. And the weather will stay like this at least two more days. So I start my internship tomorrow with nice weather.

Since I [...]

Moving to other house

Currently I rent from an organization (EazyCork) that rents rooms for a short term and is especially meant for people searching a job or having a job. Most people only stay for two or three months before going back to their home country. Therefore, they already said to me that staying for about five months is [...]

Really cheap clothes

For only € 39,- I bought four t-shirts, one pair of black neat trousers and one pair of boots. Ok, the shop just opened and had extra low prices, but even without the extra reductions I would have spent maybe € 50,- for all of this. Probably the quality isn’t that good, but who cares for [...]

Bandon and Clonakilty

One of my housemates is leaving tonight and is going back to Italy. Therefore, she had her “leaving party” last night. A lot of people came to say goodbye to her with the pleasure of music, drinks and food. Beforehand she had said that it won’t be late because it was a weekday. But a few [...]

Irish music

Last night I went to an Irish pub with one of my housemates and some of her English course classmates. Two people were playing Irish music; one played two types of guitar and drums, the other played all kinds of flutes and the Irish bag pipes. The music was really nice, but at times it made [...]

Cliffs of Moher & The Burren

Beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, nice, wonderful. Or just one word: WOW. That is just the summary of the bus tour of bus organization Paddywagon to the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren I did yesterday.
I woke up at 6.45h because the tour departed at 8h from the city center. The weather was clear, so it looked very [...]
