Final report

Dear students,
Some weeks ago my class (7C) went to Ireland, Dublin for 2 weeks.
Genarelly I would like to say that the journey was very nice.
My hostfamily named Dooley was a nice one.
Carmel my hostmom was very friendly and helpful.
First of all I would like to say most Irish are very religious people.
My hostmom was Catholic but she understood why I wasn't.
The rest of my hostfamily, the 2 children & the father were also very nice but actually I didn't see them very often.
On our first day in Ireland we watched the St.Patrick's Parade.
Actually we tried to see something because the streets were so crowded.
St.Patrick was a Christian missionary and he is the patron saint of Ireland.
He was born in Britain.
We he was 16 he was catpured by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave, where he lived for 6 years before escaping and returning to his familiy.
St.Patrick explained God using a shamrock.
Nowadays the shamrock is a symbol of Ireland.
St.Patrick died on March 17th , that's why St.Patrick Day is celebrated on March 17th.
Also Glendalough was a place we visited during our stay in Ireland.
Glendalough was founded by St.Kevin in the 6th century.
A story tells that once a bird laid an egg into the palm of his hands.
St.Kevin didn't want to destroy the egg so he didn't move until the egg hatched.
Glendalough is famous of the round tower.
The round tower is so special because it's a 30 meter high tower without doors.
Glendalough is siuated between 2 lakes.
For me the most exhausting afternoon programme was the Easter Rising Walking Tour.
The Easter Rising started on Easter Monday April 1916.
The important goal of the Easter Rising was political independence for Ireland and the establishment of the Irish Republic.
The Easter Rising was one of the first events to help to establish the Irish Republic.
The important buildings for the Easter Rising Walking Tour were: Trininty College which was the hiding place for the Protestants, the National Bank, Dublin Castle, Abbey Theatre and the General Post Office.
Later at the GPO the declaration of independence was read out.
The trip I liked most was the trip to Galway.
Galway is a small city, maybe that's why I liked it so much.
Our hostel was in Lisdoonvarna which is 80 km away from Galway.
On our way back to Dublin from Galway we vistited the livestone plateau on the west coast named, the Burren.
That was very beautiful and it was one of the best sights we saw.
I would like to visit Ireland again but at the age of 21 and without school or any language courses.

Dublin is a very nice city and also the Irish are quite nice...... but the bus system is a bit strange, we always had to wait quite long for our busses.

Dublin is a nice city to visit but.... don`t fly with air lingus!!

bacon review

As some of you may already know, we, the 7C, have been to Ireland for the last two weeks. Yes.


I think it was quite ok, some things went wrong and others went the rigth way. But thats life, you have to cope with problems. In the first days the irish weather was how I expected it to be, very changing, on one single day, we had a hail storm, rain, wind and sunshine. Absolutely crazy. The last two thirds of the journey, it stayed rather sunny. On my opinion the programm was way too overloaded, especially the afternoon program. Almost every single day, we visited something, for me it was impossible to keep all the informations in my mind. I would have liked to have more sparetime, so that we would have been able to to explore the city on our own, to talk and simply to have fun with our classmates. The language school was not realy good, at least the first teacher we had, the lessons were quite boring with her. The last 3 days we had an other teacher, because the first one went on holidays. With her, she was called Ana, it was much more fun. I think the journey must have been a trip to hell for our teachers, they realy had to work a lot. I dont like the irish laws, because of two simple resons. The first one is, that you are not aloud to rink any alcohol until you are 18 years old, once we tried to get into a pub and were kicked out. The second reason is, that Ireland is one of the last countrys in Europe that does not allow abortion.

Thats it, im finished
And, of course I like bacon

Cheers mmmh bacon

Ireland was more or less OK... it was a lot of fun(dispite the teachers), it was f***ing cold the first few days, but in the end the weather turned better.
My host-father( who was born in Austria!!! and who had understood every german word I said to sebi) was very nice, a little bit strange, but nice and what he has cooked for us was great. But I think I spend more money on food then on beer, because Ireland is realy, realy, realy,... expensive!!!! 1 pint costs 5€...that's amazing!!!!!!!!! and it was also realy hard to get into the pubs, but of course I managed it!!!

On the whole it was a very nice trip but if I flew back I would fly to Galway, becaus it was more beautiful than Dublin.

we're back!

so finally we're back from dublin/ireland... apart from nicola (organisator) and the weather everything was GRAND (as the irish would say)... dublin is a great city with very kind people (at this point we have to mention that the bus system sucks)...ireland is definitely a country to visit :)
LOVE, g-unit (lisa klara oggi)

Hey Lads!

I had no problems with logging in... maybe blogger.com had a server-error...

well, we are sitting in an italien internet-cafe in the center of galway... Hm, I have no idea what to write, so enjoy yourselves and good night.

(Use the blog to add pictures... some are really GREAT! :D )

Yesss I did it I'm in the blog!!!!
no, everythings fine, the weather gets better from day to day and the school is quite "chillaxe" (it's irish!) when our teachers aren't dancing or hiting spoons which is a bit dangerous (only our viennese teachers always seem to be a bit stressed and "hectical" 9and they try very hard to keep us awaz from the shops))
tomorrow we're going to galway which I think is great but since there's no water SHOWER before we get there!!!
and take some bottles of non poisoned water with you

7.BC, are you all going to use irish pub blog to talk about your experiences in Dublin? Would be nice if some of you participated !!

St.Patrick's Day

What a great date we chose for our trip! Did you realize our first day in Dublin is going to be St. Patrick's Day! I'm very much looking forward to watching the great parade and the fireworks.

Note to the administrator ...

Fipps
could you also set up a categories/labels archive in the navigation bar? We forgot about it today, I think it would make sense to have one. Thanks!

Note from the 'Instructor' ...

It was fun working with you today! I think you did a really good job making the blog look good already, and I can see it as a good resource for information and communication about your trip!
Two things: Be careful with the labeling, because this will keep it organized, and you can find things easier. And: On the trip, also try to post your own photos - we forgot to talk about that today. You have to downsize them to a width of around 500 points when you download them to the computer, so they fit. Have fun!

GPO General Post office

HeY
as you know .. everybody has to report on one MONUMENT in Ireland ...

and I´ve got GPO in Dublin.... here are some informations ... :)


GPO - General Post Office In Dublin


Built in 1818 halfway along O'Connell Street (formerly Sackville street), the GPO (right) became a symbol of the 1916 Easter Rising. Members of the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army seized the building on Easter Monday (24th of April) and Patrick Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Irish republic from its steps. The rebels remained inside for almost a week, but shelling from the British eventually forced them out. Inside the building is a sculpture of the legendary Irish warrior Cuchulainn, dedicated to those who died for their part in the Easter rising.

HaVe FuN !!!!!
