 Look, spot the bridge!

 Another bridge hidden under nature :)

hello world

I have such an international blog don't I,I can't say hello Sweden without ignoring my people in America and vise versa :)
Amway, if you don't wish to visit Ireland after all I have written so far here is another picture of yesterday around 4pm(16:00), waiting for bus outside of work building.



And yes, seeing other people with their dogs like this makes me really miss my Moe. But on the bright side, I overreacted a few days ago, and it will be really expensive and difficult on Corey but Moe will come here to Ireland to join us straight away :) So.. happy thoughts!

G'day

I'm sorry for the neglect, but on happier notes... I am now at a more permanent place here in Cork, and it is only 5 minutes walk from the biggest road in cork city centre. It is a quiet building, rather small and old, I dont know if I want to give it the "charming" title as I like to describe Cork mostly.. but you know, its a great place to live in until we find our next place, basicly I chose this place cause I could find it and I was out of time. I did NOT want to spend 35 euro per night at the bed and breakfast, id go broke!

So anyway, I got internet up and running, electricity (duuuh), my bank account, visa card, PPS number (think social security card or personnummer). My landlord even dropped me off a TV and radio, so im not bored to death!

Yesterday I went to drink some wine with a couple I met trough work, the guy is a Swede from Helsingborg and the girl is Finnish, was a lot of fun obviously! But today I am drinking a loooot of water.

Here is some pics I took on my journey today to find clean water.
Problem is.. I know I had a reason to take this picture but I cant remember what that reason was..

A really old bridge I guess, St patricks bridge, I cross it every day!

Yep... its old!

When water beomes luxury and great tasting. I didn't want to move the sausages prior to my picturetaking, what if someone wanted those and were coming back for them?

This felt really irish, so i took a picture of it.

Lot of freaking taxis everywhere, at least they are rather cheap here.

I wanted to show you an irish bus, or did I already show that..? Oh well, heres one more, different one too I think.

ok if you look closely, there is a chinese place in background on second floor of that building. It will make your "tounge"(tung) sing if you eat there... ahahahaha, such great humor i have. 

Corey says I never read signs and if I did I wouldnt get so lost, but this sign doesnt seem to help at all, seriously.

My viewing of the world gets so blue sometimes, dunno why. This picture I remember I took because I liked how pretty it looks.. and typhically irish/british.

Misleading image "young ireland" "boys wear" and then there is an image of a dog.. im so confused!

Now im just thinking, ahh pretty shop.. wait a second.. "gold bullion?" (Guld buljong??) What?

"Did you have too much to drink last night?" is what im thinking now.

This is why...

You dont hear from me. I know, ok.. right now my life is not all that exciting, even for being in Ireland. I go to work early in the morning, get off from work, go look at a flat(apartment, house or whatever). Come home around 8pm after walking around lost in the beautiful Cork city centre, its hard to explain still why its beautiful... but ill try to explain.

Well ok this picture is way off topic... but... it keeps me awake at work! love it.. so amazing.. coffee... you.. aww <3

Ohh whats this? Is this from like the 1800's or something? No! its just another street in Cork.

Hah I knew they had cars back then!

No... cork, charming and rustic and so many cool people.. I swear. 

Have you ever been to a place where you dont feel comfortable sitting down, you try to lean against a wall and you wonder if that is the correct thing to do? that is the correct oposite of Cork.. here its like "ah come on have a seat wherever you like, kick up your shoes on the table I dont care!" Its hard not to be charmed by that, totally.

As I was waiting for my bus this morning...

Ah what fun is that anyway :P But I started to work now so as you can see I had a slight decline in writing staticstics, so .. I can assure you im still alive anyway, my work and paperwork for work has taken over my time. You know when you just get hired how much stuff you have to learn, cause no same work operate the same way. Cool thing was that they have a deal with local bank office, so a person from the bank came here to help us set up an account, for me, that is awesome.

My pics are always exciting arent they? This is a few papers I got from work in one day to look over. No, seriously, it is not a book!

This is what an irish bus looks like, unfortunately the bus I take (210) to work, is not a doubledecker, but they are around, and they even have wifi on them!

I feel safe. Scania bus!! For those who dont know, Scania AB is a swedish automotive manufacturer :) 
Cork city centre at around 5pm, as seen by the window of the bus. Pretty, yeees.
