Dublin ♥

Hey guys,

I finally went to Dublin after exactly three months (yes one third of my exchange year is over now), and it was so nice ♥ I really loved it and I really love Dublin ♥, but from the beginning.

Charlotte and me were planning this trip, I think, for like three Weeks or so and today we finally went. That means I had to get up at 8 o'clock in the morning because the bus left at 9.

It was Charlotte, Paula and me who went and none of us has ever been to Dublin before, so by the time we got there no one of us had the slightest idea where to go, we just followed other people (who looked they have a clue of what they doing ☻). Fortunaly it was the right direction and after 3 minutes we found a Tourist Information so we got a map of Dublin so we couldn't get lost anymore.

Now that we had a map we realized that we just had to follow the street we were on, to get to the centre.

The first shop we went to was a souvenir shop (what a surprise ☻). It was seriously all green and white and all full of things with sheeps on and guinnes and shamrocks on it. The second shop then was pennys ☻. I didn't bought anything (I am proud of myself ☻).
Yeah and than like the normal shopping shops, like Topshop, forever 21, H&M... and Lush ♥ and Starbucks ♥.

The last Shop we went to is my new favourite shop now ♥ it is called Fat Face ☻ and it is absoltuly amazing (but it really is expensive and they only have shops in Ireland and England)

In the end I left Dublin with a new Dublin Jumper ♥ some other stuff and a lot less money than I brought to Dublin☻.

PS: The christmas lights in Dublin are really nice.

PPS: I know it doesn't fit to the topic, but I went to the gym on Thursday this week and I still have Muskelkarter in my legs, so a hint: Do never go to a gym in Ireland it is hard! ☻

Balbriggen and Christmas lights

Hello,

We've been to Balbriggen this Weekend, at the house of my hostmom's sister.
Balbriggen is a part of Dublin, around 25 Minutes with the train to the city centre.
We stayed there from Saturday to Sunday which was great ☻.

On Saturday me and Aoife went to the Cinema to watch the movie Pan (it is worth to see!) and after that home, where we watched Home alone (Kevin allein Zuhause) ☻.

For Dinner we got Pizza and Garlic Bread ♥.
On Sunday we just had Brunch before we drove back home.

At half three I met Pia, Elena, Zoe and Charlotte to go to town.
When they switch on the Christmas lights here there is always a big stage and a few stores where you can buy hot chocolate and tea and punch and all that stuff. And because that was today we decided to go there.
It was nice. They played Christmas songs all the time and you felt like it is nearly christmas. Unfortunately Christmas is only in one months :/

Next Weekend Charlotte and me will go up to Dublin ♥

Bowling, Newgrange and Drogheda

Hey guys,

I know I kept you waiting but last week nothing really interesting happened. 
But this weekend we went bowling on the saturday with all the other ones as jankas birthday party.

We wanted to be at the bowling centre at 2 o'clock. Actually we were there at 3 o'clock so the bowling alleys we bocked were gone.
But we got two new ones so it was no problem. And we had a lot of fun. (I won ☻)





On Sunday we went to Newgrange with Interstudies (If you wanna know what it is google it...)
This time my Hostsister went with us which was great. 
We left at 9 o'clock. The drive to Newgrange took us about one and a half hour, so by the time we get there it was half ten. 
We got our tickets and 30 minutes to look at the history before a shuttle bus took us to Newgrange. 
At Newgrange itself we were split of into two groups cause not all of us would fit in the cave at one time. So one group had to wait outside in the rain while the other one was inside the cave until we changed.




It was quite impressive what people over thousand years ago could build only out of stones and big rocks. (Newgrange is actually older than the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge)

Even if it was raining, it was nice day.
After we were finished at Newgrange we went to Drogheda where we had four hours to do whatever we wanted to do... It was so boring, the only real thing you could do there was go to pennys, but that had only covered one hour. We were actually so bored that we all went to visit the St. Patrick Cathederal ☻ The last three hours we had left after that we just sat somewhere in the shopping centre doing nothing. 


This is St. Patricks real head!
But all in all I really did liked the day ☻

Holidays and Halloween

Hallo...

Da wir grade Mid Term haben und das heißt das wir nicht zur Schule gehen müssen, hat meine Gastfamilie sich überlegt das wir für ein Wochenende nach Bundoran fahren könnten. Das haben wir dann letztes Wochenende auch gemacht.
Wir sind am Samstag Morgen losgefahren und am Montag wiedergekommen. 
Bundoran ist eine kleine niedliche "Stadt" in Donegal am Atlantik. Man kann dort eigentlich nicht besonders viel machen, aber es war trotzdem super...
Am Sonntag Morgen sind wir runter zum Strand gegangen (es war ziemlich windig und kalt aber trotzdem schön) und Nachmittags sind wir bowlen gegangen, mein Hostdad hat gewonnen und Abends noch essen, in einem kleinem niedlichen Cafe/Restaurant. Da gibt es das beste Chicken Kiev und den besten Chocolate Fudge Cake den ich je gegessen habe ♥
Und am Montag sind wir dann leider wieder nach Hause gefahren...







Diesen Samstag war Halloween, und da meine Gastschwester den tag nach Halloween Geburtstag hat hatte sie zwei ihrer Freundinnen hier zum übernachten.
Wir sind erst in die Stadt gegangen und dann abends nochmal zum Feuerwerk, welches recht klein war...
ich selber bin nicht trick or treating gegangen, aber die Leute die hier waren sahen zum teil echt gut aus...
ach ja Halloween kommt eigentlich aus Irland und nicht wie die meisten denken aus den USA.

Und ob ihr's glaubt oder nicht, ich bin hier nun schon für zwei Monate.
Die zeit vergeht hier echt schnell, denn es fühlt sich nicht an wie zwei Monate, ehr wie zwei Wochen.

Henrieke♥
