Hi everybody
and just like that its Tuesday and we are in the middle of Dublin.
Dublin is a beautiful city. the parts we’ve seen so far are very nice. A little crowded maybe but definitely a city worth visiting.
The flight was perfect, right on time and without turbulances. At the airport we said goodbye to the group heading off to belfast. We were picked up by Damian who drove us through the city to our appartments. He gave us a little overview about the main attractions in Dublin.
The appartments are very nice. Everything was just as promissed. well not quite. We don’t have a dryer and the internet connection is very bad. but the rest is just wonderful. Right in front of the appartment is a LUAS station which takes us to the city centre in like 10 minutes.
on monday we didn’t have to go to work. We had a meeting with Margaret from Internsplus. Thats the company organising everything for us in Dublin. We had a little chat and after that she showed us a little around our new neighbourhood and we went to see the Guiness store house which is quite nice and we had our first Guiness up in the Gravity Bar with a stunning view over Dublin. Unfortunatly I didn’t expect that so I didn’t had my camera with me. But Manuel took some nice pictures. Maybe he will upload some later 🙂
After the meeting with Margeret we made an extensive shoppingtour through Lidl. Like in Germany it is the cheapest way to survive.
Back home we ate a bit and than took off to the next pub to see the last game of Irelands green boys.
The people weren’t kidding when they said that a pint in a pub costs like 4 to 5 € but the crowd was great. I wonder how the reactions would have been if Ireland had scored or even won the game considering the cheers and applause when an italian attack was successfully defended.
We really didn’t wanted to be late on our first day on Tuesday so we went to bed pretty early.
That plan didn’t work out very well. At first our busdriver took a little spontanious break and in addition we had a little troube finding the place. So we made a great first impression 🙂
What we will do over teh next few weeks at Computerdoctor is troubleshooting computers. Mostly laptops. We started off with a little basic knowledge. Interesting hearing all the familiar components in english 🙂
Our boss seems really nice and I think we can learn a lot from him. So I’m really looking forward to the next few weeks.
Read you soon
