Grafton Street and Shopping on a Saturday

So I'm back on my blog...

No time to change the design tough, sorry for everyone who's complaining about my lovely green background, you'll just have to suck it up some more days or copy the text ;-).

This afternoon I met Nilay and Jason in town. I got to know them over the internet while looking for accommodation in Dublin. We met at Stephen's Green (seeing they live in Dundrum and take the Green Luas to Stephen's Green), so I had the pleasure of walking through Grafton Street on a Saturday... You can't imagine it, it's a no-cars-allowed street and there's sooo many people, I'm sure it looks a bit like a really busy ant-hill from the air ;-). And then there's all these street artists playing music or doing something else and a lot of people watching. Also there's all these guys with the most amazing job ever... They stand there holding a sign on a post and they sort of wave the post... On the sign there's usually some sort of special offer ad for a shop... It's just crazy! And all of them have an umbrella fixed to their post...

Well, so I met Nilay and Jason and we went into a nice café... it was really big and really full, but we found a place. We talked and talked and then went out into the city to go shopping. So you need to know that Grafton Street is to the south of Trinity College and we generally walked north, walked through Tempel Bar and crossed the river over this lovely bridge and went to shop some more on the north side. By then about 3 hours had passed and I went back home again.

So now I just got back and I feel very tired... And I'm supposed to do a lot of work for uni. I kind of couldn't be bothered this week and last week I was still trying to figure out how everything works at Trinity. So now things have started to pile up a bit... Guess later today and tomorrow I'll have to try and catch up a bit seeing that Cian is gone anyway for the whole weekend... I might just do something sensible for once ;-).

Ok everyone back home and in New Zealand and Ireland or wherever you are from (I get hits from all over the world, yay) enjoy your Sunday!

Oh, some more info: I will at some stage put some more pictures on facebook, I will also change the design of the blog and I am trying to get pictures to show you what I mean by eccentricity... but it's quite difficult seeing that I keep forgetting my camera at home.
