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…
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…
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…
