Let me wipe the dust off my laptop screen which gets collected everyday without fail as well as the "dust" that has been collected on this blog due to the inconsistent update by me.
After the Sligo trip,
I embarked on a Dublin trip on 17 October with the Foundation students and Yr 3 Tourism students.
Places that we visited in order:
Guinness House
Temple Bar
Tourist Office
National Museum
Trinity College
Kilkenny Shop
I had an insider view on how Guinness is made/brewed! and free samples were given and everyone was going ga-ga over it...except me. The smell itself is such a big turn off, dont you think so?
Question: what colour is Guinness? If you're thinking of answering black, haha, you're wrong. Its ruby. Put it towards the light and viola, you will see it. If you got that right, either you're an experienced drinker or plain observant.
Temple Bar is supposedly the happening street in Dublin. Simple reason, pubs are literally everywhere. To your right, to your left. Then again, there's plenty pubs in Ireland. Thats the distinguished culture of Ireland.
Nothing really interesting in the National Museum and Trinity College. Apart from the fact that Trinity College is considered quite famous and well known and that entry is tough. By the way, there were a big handful of Malaysian students though. So you might want to consider studying there with no worries. And Dublin is relatively easy to find halal food and there is even a Dublin Mosque, but i have yet to see it.
Kilkenny Shop is just out to rob you of every cent you've got. Basically, it sells Irish made items such as jewellery, hardware, gifts, painting, apparels. But, its so damn expensive.
So that was our last stop. Pictures had been uploaded on Picasa few weeks back so indulge.
