Celebration of St. Patrick’s Festival in Dublin (14.03.-17.03.2014)
St. Patrick’s Day I’m glad to let you know that we are sober and totally OK after our first St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin. 🙂 OK, yeah, it’s (almost) two weeks past St. Patrick’s weekend, but I had a crazy week at work, guest at home, and got old so my recovery time is not…
Expecting St. Patrick’s day
It seems that spring is back in Dublin, monsoon season is over, and we had 5 sunny days in a row! Yeah, I know, there are no monsoons in Ireland, but it has been raining since the end of November , and we had the highest rainfall since 1776 (at least it is since that…
Greatest culinary discovery so far in Ireland – Seafood chowder
Writing this text will be much easier in English, since the recipe name is quite simple – “Seafood chowder”. Still, I have no idea how to correctly translate it into Croatian language. 🙂 Since we moved to Dublin, we’ve tried several “typical Irish” dishes, but there’s one that rules them all – seafood chowder. We…
Social life in Dublin pubs
Well, it is high time to talk about Dublin’s dark side. Not everything is great in Dublin. For example, if you Google the number of licensed and registered pubs in Dublin, on many sites you’ll get the frightening answer: 666! Well, if you are deep in numerology that definitely is the dark side. 🙂 If…
Frequently asked questions 1
Since our move to Dublin I figured out that many people know that I exist. 🙂 Even though I did not hear a word from them in years, suddenly they gave my contacts to a friend of a friend of someone whose friend wants to ask me some things about Dublin. Some people found me…
Ireland – The graffiti country
Before I start typing anything else, I’d like to wish you all the best in 2014, and I wish to myself to write more and better. 🙂 Christmases are long gone now, I know, and new year is already “old”. But, we travelled a bit through the island in this busy period of the year,…
Christmas in Ireland
We all know what is Christmas and when it is happening, right? Well, that’s not the case here in Ireland, or at least in Dublin. All the shops, buses, windows and streets are decorated since November 2nd, and all radio commercials advertise it with “Christmas has never been so early”. Yep, we are listening to…
Neither pro nor con just a little bit different
Living in a different country causes some cultural differences, and we learn new rules and some for us unusual things that every newcomer should learn in order to live in Dublin. I’ll try not to judge whether they are better or worse than we do it back home. They certainly are different. 🙂 Traffic The…
Simple way to separate egg yolk from egg white
It has been only a few weeks ago since we found the original youtube video tutorial in which the author separates egg yolks from the egg whites with an empty plastic bottle. This little trick looked so cool but we were not 100% certain if it works or if there is a catch. As my…
Our first hiking in Ireland – meet Glendalough
Glendalough, Wicklow, Ireland, 09/11/13 Highest point (as per EveryTrail): 521 m Lowest point (as per EveryTrail): 115 m The fact that we moved to Ireland didn’t change our habit of hiking up the various peaks and summits. Since we don’t have a car here we can hike only in places connected with public transportation or…

How to become “Irish” (or everything you need to start living in Ireland)? (This will be a bit longer post, but I’d like to have the whole procedure for the future new “Irish” on one page) If you are among those who decided to leave their country of origin and move to Ireland, you can…
