Wrapping up my second week here in Dublin, a lot of new things going on - too many to remember them all, really.
But I've been having a great time working next to the Performance QA team, helluva nice guys (and girl).
I've created an account over at Flickr to upload pictures of the city and wherever else I might end up at. Check it out if you're interested, but don't expect to find me on any of those photos - not after all these online privacy articles rolling around, anyway..
A few things about Dublin:
It's expensive. For instance, a two way train ticket from one station to the next costs $2.60 Euros.
The coffee is terrible, I mean, worst then the ones I had over at the US. Maybe that explains the massive amounts of tea around.
The accent is... difficult, but people are generally friendly enough not to get upset after the second or third "Sorry, what ?"
Dubliners are quieter than I expected, unless at a pub.
Guinness is pretty good, but the lower alcohol percentage is easily balanced by the size of the glasses.
Hard to find Levi's around here, bring plenty.
O'Connel and Gardiner Street are supposed to be dangerous places to walk around, so I guess you should stay away from.
Traffic around City Centre is ridiculous, avoid taxis and use your feet when possible.
The funniest thing is that people judge a neighborhood according to its pubs. I've lost count of how many times someone said "That's a good place, there are some decent pubs there.."
Hahahaha! Perfect! But we need to check live cams and combine the day to make that funny thing ok? o_0
