I am still alive ...and eating crisps!

Hello there,
yes it's me! Some of you have sent me worried emails wondering if I have disappeared. Let me assure you that I am still here; it's not that easy to get rid of me;).
It has been a very turbulent time for me: deeply depressing and also full of unexpected beauty.

So what is happening in Dublin? It's nowadays flooded at least once a week (because it sometimes rains for more than 2 hours and that is simply too much to take for the drains here).

We had the festival of World Culture 2 weeks ago, which was mainly loads of Salsa music and amazing food. I loved it and unbelievably enough after shivering in the rain during Saturday, Sunday was really sunny and almost felt like summer (Irish summer, don't get too excited ;)).

This weekend the fringefestival kicked off. I am really looking forward to some contemporary dance performances (still one more week until my class starts again).

Since I have neglected this blog shamelessly for a while I thought I honour this entry with a picture of a cheese & onion crisp (yuk...can you believe there are bars that do not sell vinegar crisps) and me. The picture was taken by my favourite photographer ( ...no I am so not biased ... it's a simple fact;)).
