History Repeating
I’ve always been interested in modern history, and especially that of places I live(d) in. To me, history is nothing you can only read about, but ideally a feeling triggered by pictures or music, by experiencing places and breathing a scent of history. Therefore, I was delighted to find pictures from Dublin as it looked [...]
Shock To My System
Gemma Hayes, a very talented Singer-Songwriter from County Tipperary visited my workplace a couple of weeks ago to give a very intimate and intense acoustic session as part of the ongoing “Musicians@Google” initiative, playing some of her more well-known songs as well as some wonderful new ones (Shock To My System, Waiting for You) – [...]
Back to the Middle Ages
Sometimes, you just want to shake your head in disbelief about politics in Ireland. Apart from all the well-known Anti-European resentments, all the unfair and prevaricated election campaigns – e. g., Sinn Fein actually announced the Easter Rising heroes would have died for nothing if the Lisbon treaty was accepted – there are some decisions [...]

Hear ye, hear ye!
Look, they already built me a castle! (No, really they didn’t. It’s just a funny-named estate in South Dublin.) It’s exactly a month of being a Dubliner now – time to come to an interim conclusion. (Okay, it’s a bit early for that, but there are more of those to come.) 1. Left-sided driving still [...]
Warm Welcome
Hot waffles with Polish greetings for breakfast, after sharing my half-Polish descent with the waiter (who’s from Poland). Sorry for the bad picure quality, I only had my cellphone camera with me.
So this is where it all starts
Welcome. So this is the first entry to my new, English-based blog, describing my journey to and new life in Dublin, Ireland. But before actually moving over and experience the feeling of insecurity adapting to a new country, there’s lots of stuff to complete here in Germany. I have to give notice of departure to [...]
