Well I’ve arrived in Dublin and am staying in a hostel in Lower Gardiner Street – it’s just outside the city centre so is handy for everywhere. Have just been for a wander around the city centre and St Stephen’s Green Park. There was even Japanese lad playing the harp on Grafton Street.

Have yet to hear anybody speaking Irish, but have heard Japanese, Cantonese, German and quite a few other languages.

The hostel provides free internet access, but there’s only one computer and many people are waiting to use so I’d better finish now.

Tá mé ag dul go hÉirinn ar laethanta saoire amárach. Caithidh mé cupla lá i mBaile Átha Clitha, Gaillimh agus Inis Mór, agus ansin beidh mé a foghlaim níos mó Gaeilge i nGleann Cholm Cille.

I’m off on my holidays to Ireland tomorrow. I’ll be spending a couple of days in Dublin, Galway and Inismor, and will then go to study some more Irish in Glencolmbcille. While I’m away, posting on this blog will probably become a bit sporadic.
