This just makes me laugh.This country is ridiculous. When they want to say something is a good time they call it good craic, who came up with that one? They made a light rail system, but didn't connect the two light rails, so it's a half hour walk between them. They aren't punctual. And are very friendly. Our apartments are all about saving electricity. The washers and dryers are the same machine. It takes 2 hours to run a wash cycle and you really don't use the dry cycle, just the clothes line. And yes, I did say it takes TWO HOURS to run a wash cycle. The stove has a wall switch you have to flip on for it to have power, and so does every other electical appliance.
Everything costs a ton of money. A beer is about 5 euro. So as fun as the pub scene is, who can afford it? We've gone out everynight thus far and I'm pretty sure some of these kids will put down 20 or more euro a night on drinks alone. The customs of the bar are also different. If a guy buys you a drink, you are expected to give him more than your good conversation. To avoid that you offer to buy him the next one, and since they work in rounds here it's an easy way to give him the message that you enjoy his company but nothing more. So there's pub 101.

Remember how I said in London on a nice day everyone flocks to the park, and when we were in Hyde Park we saw a hilarious man pick up on a hilarious woman? Well I just thought you needed the visuals on this. 
Now I was only brave enough to take one picture. But I think you might get the point. It might not seem too bad at first.. 
Now I was only brave enough to take one picture. But I think you might get the point. It might not seem too bad at first.. Now, I'm not sure if you can see, or understand her in her full glory. But those glorious wrinkles of skin covered her whole body. When she layed down, her head was away from us, with her various bottom parts towards us, peaking out of her swimbottoms. Terrifying. I can't imagine the thought proccess that led to "hey, I'm 60something and a string bikinni in London would be a marvoulous idea!" She was laughed at and gawked at, by not only me but others sitting around me. I was embarrased for her. Whatever, she's ballsy.
