I was not sure if starting this article with a joke about the difference between a tire and 365 used rubbers is appropriate, so I decided to at least use slightly modified title of “A good year” film for this one. A year ago we’ve left home from a foggy, rainy and sad Trieste train…
September in Dublin or how not to spend whole paycheck in Ireland this month :)
Hi there 🙂 Before I start, you might have noticed that there are some additions on the blog. Well, there were people trying to contact me, ask questions, and such, so I created a facebook page dedicated to this blog, added a newsletter part, so you can subscribe here and like me there and get…
GAA Hurling i GAA Football – more than a sport
Before our move to Ireland I was familiar with the existence of hurling and different footballs, but never actually had a chance to see the whole game and get hooked. 🙂 This post will be nothing new for Irish readers, but it might be interesting to others not familiar with Irish sports. Irish sports are…
How I rediscovered pork in a pulled pork meal
In my last post I have mentioned that I’ve discovered a new magical sandwich. Well, it’s not sandwich per se but it’s more the meat that goes in it. Those who know me in person and for more than two years are familiar with the fact that “I don’t eat pork!”. Well… Being from Croatia…
Stag party – The Irish way
A few months ago I was invited to a friend’s stag party. Stag party is UK / Irish name for a party that is known as a bachelor party in US. In Croatia we call it “momačka”, and translation would be “young man’s party”. Since we live in the city centre, and we witnessed many…
A year since our first visit and ten months living in Dublin
Three hundred and sixty five days ago, around 8:30 in the morning we got off the bus on some quay in a strange huge city of Dublin. Few steps away and on the left, there was a huge avenue and one well known fast food restaurant. We immediately went in to buy water since Ireland…
A litle about nothing special from past two weeks :)
That’s it, The World Cup is over and we should all get back to our regular working habits. Germany annihilated Brazil and then Goetze put it all to an end against Argentina. The rest is history already. Well, No1e won second Wimbledon title, but that is also history already. I have, on the other side,…
Dublin is gay these days :)
Our city is very colourful for quite some time now, and I guess it is not wrong to say, Dublin is gay. Since most of people who know English are aware that original meaning of the word “gay” means “happy” or “joyful”, yes, Dublin is a happy place. Besides its happiness, Dublin is really supportive…
What is the impact of the world cup on one blog? :)
That’s an easy answer – terrible! 🙂 In my previous post (Northern Ireland) I mentioned that I’m trying my best to keep the tempo of at least two posts per month, but this world cup in Brazil is not a friend of mine. 🙂 Even though I watch world cups on regular basis, I planned…
One day adventure through Northern Ireland
Even though I am trying to keep up the tempo of at least two blog posts per month, there is time where this seems impossible. A bit of travelling, a bit of family visiting and a bit more of work, and that’s it, hobby has to suffer. However, stubborn as I am, I’ve decided to…
Traveling Tunisia with locals
Tunisia. Africa. Our latest adventure was decided four years ago, after our wedding, but a set of circumstances caused a long delay. However, we decided not to lose any more time, and to use our first possible vacation to visit Tunisia. We started from Dublin with a small “Avro” city jet RJ85 airplane. It was…
Paris few years later, and done properly this time :)
It has been about seven long years since my last visit to France and Paris. My previous job treated me well, and I was often a visitor but I never actually slept in Paris. It was always a hub with a few hours to layover, and then I’d leave toward west, south or east. This…
