General Comments, Dublin

Fondest memory: Strolling along the River Liffey here in December can be quite an experience too. Fortunately for me, the weather this particular December (2001) is considered mild. In fact, the Dubliners call it their 'warmest' December. :-)

Can you spot the Clarence Hotel owned by the world famous Irish band - U2? No? Squint harder!

Favorite thing: ...well in fact i'm going to dublin and the airplane will leave tomorrow - so i'll do my best for make some nice pics... ;-)

Fondest memory: Friendly, sympatic people with a bit curious accent - but it's no problem to get in contact with them!!! every day is partytime - especially in some pubs in the temple bar area...

Favorite thing: If the weather's good, just stroll around town and appreciate the architecture...here's a few pictures to start with...i still have to take more areas and scan them!

Fondest memory: The Liffey is the river crossing Dublin into 2 very definite parts, the North and the South, the latter (although it's not as clear as before) having the best reputation. You can know where places are located with the postcode: odd numbers are in the North and even numbers are for areas on the South side of the Liffey.

The sunset from the bridges are usually worth the look...

Favorite thing: go on the DUBLIN TOUR by red dubbledecker bus.......hop on and hop off wherever you want......

ticket valid for 24 hts.!

Fondest memory: just being there in the pubs, listening to live music and watching people sing and enjoy themselves.....

After a day of hopping on and off the bus the best place to go.......is a nice restaurant: see tips...

Fondest memory: COLOURS...

Ireland is very GREEN and the sky can be very GRAY. However when it stops raining the clouds often give way to the beautiful BLUE sky (as on this photo).

Favorite thing: Buy these wonderful sweeties......so delicious!!!

yOUR LAST CHANCE IS AT THE AIRPORT!!!

Fondest memory: Oh, I have so many sweet memories, oh, but this is one of them.....

touring through this wonderful country! time and again....

Favorite thing: Dublin is a city that holds very dear memories in my heart.
I have now spent some time in both summer and winter in this wonderful country .
Arriving this time in winter in minus 5c and finding snow is something I will never see in december in my own country so it was very special despite knowing my own home was 40c on the same day.

Fondest memory: that temp was the coldest I have ever been in and they tell me it was the first settled snow in 9 years in Dublin.
Dublin holds so many great memories to me I wouldn't be able to begin.
just being able to return was a pretty awesome feeling for me.

Favorite thing: this is Molly Malone fast becomming one of the most photographed chicks in Ireland though probably not often like this.
My friends were susprised that I know nearly all the words to this famous Irish song.
First time I ever went to Ireland my mother was sure I would not come back such is my liking of all things Irish.

Fondest memory: fondest memories of Dublin was having friends meet me at the Airport both times i arrived.

Favorite thing: When you get to Dublin on a rainy & cloudy day you think that your trip is going to be spoilt by the damn weather --Well, none of that happens. Despite the bad weather, Dublin is a fantastic, eclectic city, and you get to like it as it is...

Fondest memory: I remember that night at the Gogarty Pub, singing songs with a group of drunk & friendly Scots and chatting & sharing memories with a couple from Philadelphia and a guy from Glasgow. We had such a great time I'll never forget that day.

Favorite thing: Oh course, the Irish is well known for producing some of the greatest bands in the world including U2, The Corrs and some may agree Westlife too.
