It’s been highly endorsed by my former landlady for me to see Riverdance. It’s a show of Irish dancing; it’s a real Irish icon.
So last weekend, I tagged along Gladys to finally see it. I created sort of a vlog/spoiler of it. Enjoy!
I had a great time seeing friends and catching up with them over the first weekend of the year. Having that should be a sign of a great fun for the year ahead.
Whenever I crave for something different to eat other than the cheeseburger meal of Burger King, my choice is some good Japanese food. My go-to place for this is the Banyi Japanese dining in Temple Bar.
I was in Drogheda in County Louth 3 Sundays ago. The city was hosting Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann which means All-Ireland Music Festival. Every year since 1951, Irish traditional music competition is held week-long in this event. As mentioned in Wikipedia, “the goal of Fleadh Cheoil is to establish standards in Irish traditional music through competition.”
FOREWARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS LOADS OF PICTURES. ENJOY!
FOREWARNING 2: THIS POST IS WAY WAY OVERDUE.
Wandering around the Dublin is more like a hobby to me now. Aside from going to the shops, I enjoy seeing tourists, locals and everyone passing by as it gives me a sense of mystery– like these different people have their own stories to tell.
Una brought me to Powerscourt House and Gardens in August last year. The place was breath-taking. From whichever direction I pointed my eyes to, the scenery was just lovely.
The other weekend, I went solo to Howth Harbour to check out the Dublin Bay Prawn Festival. I came to know of this on Facebook. I was very excited about it because I was looking forward to tasting seafood in a while, was curious about the festival in general, and it was my first time to visit Howth.
We had a blast weekend! Agatha and I had our very first tour of Ireland (outside of Dublin). We booked it online with Healy Tours for only €90 each. That price is cheap considering it covered a two-day trip and an overnight accommodation.
From our traipsing, I got around 700 pictures. I know that’s a lot but that includes photos of garbage bins, blurred captures, and everything else that I still need to sort. So for now, here’s a peep of the fun we had in Galway and County Clare.

A bank holiday plus a shining warm sun– the perfect formula to carry out our plan to visit the nearest beach and see a castle.
