Greetings from the Other Side of the World

Overheard @ the BofA in Culver City:

Random guy: heeeey man! What's up buddy!
Random guy2: it's aight, it's cool
RG: your girl looks good man!
RG2: that's my sister

~~~~~~

I had to restrain myself from laughing in their faces. RG proceeded to try and talk to RG2 and hit on his sister, and they were both (understandably) weirded out and tried to blow him off - but politely.

I wish I had more to blog about while I'm in Dublin, but it's only my first night, and I can't upload any pictures until I get back. So here's a HI. It's been fun so far, I've been taking lots of pictures, mostly of scenery - but I'm hoping to see some sites over the next 2 weeks.

Here are some tips I picked up:
1. Don't order seafood in Dublin
2. If you want to felt up/heavily picked on/feel like a piece of molested piece of meat - go to Copper Faced Jacks
3. Don't go to Limerick, it's known as "Stab City"
4. Don't come to Ireland and march in the St. Patty's parade and proclaim your Irish Pride. Because Irish people are nice, they'll tolerate you, but they really don't like that, or think you are.

Oh.. and here's a fact - a lot of establishments light certain areas (mostly bathrooms) with black light so that druggies can't find veins and shoot up. I thought it was so I could see any nastyness while entering a stall.

I saw the "worst" shirt ever today... It says Happy St. Patrick's Day, and "It's great to be Irish, and then a picture of Obama's face - with the title "O'bama". Really people? This is how you want to make your buck? I guess it's the same as "Commerative Water".

Our hostel for the night is right next to "Booze 2 Go" and down the street from the China town area. I feel kind of ignorant, but I didn't think there'd be Chinese people in Ireland, I thought I was gonna stick out like a sore thumb. I feel a little at "home" now. Haha... kidding... sort of. Well that, and all the people who work @ this hostel who get on the internet, are all over their Facebooks too.

Lastly:
Andrea: well jeez
Andrea: i sorta miss you
Andrea: haha
Andrea: it just hit me
me: aww!!
me: it's almost like i'm there.. this is what we'd be doing if i was there
me: actually.. i probably wouldn't be online, i'd still be sleeping or something.
Andrea: haha yes but i was thinking about what trouble i would get into this wknd and it doesnt include you

Alert the cops.

And it sucks being right all the time

This is probably how we talk about you, too.
Andrea: I thought she was ugly, though?
Jean: That's what Dorina said. But Dorina thinks a lot of people are ugly.
Andrea: Jean... She's usually right.


Also, regarding this in the post below?

Drea's birthday @ The Brig
Andrea: "Can I leave you alone to go to the bathroom?"
Jean: "I think I'll be okay."
Andrea: "Don't let weird people talk to you."

Yeah... Totally do not remember that happening! ...But it sounds like something I'd say, so it's completely valid.
