At home abroad: Spring!

Spring! - Frühling!

Spring time in Dublin. The first beautiful, sunny and almost non rainy weekend in Dublin. Everyone is out and about to admire the daffodils and smell of spring.
I finally went to Phoenix park (though sadly there was no park, just a long road with patches on green on each side). The area around Farmleigh house however is really nice!

Frühling in Dublin. Das erste sonnige und regenfreie Wochenende. Wir haben Phoneix Park erkundent, obwohl es der Park eher wie eine lange Straße mit ein bisschen grün daneben aussieht :) Die Gegend um Farmleigh Haus ist allerdings wirklich schön!

Intro

In Ireland I was once told a story. A Spanish man travelling in Connemara asked what the Irish word for mañana would be. He was told “Oh no, we don’t have a word describing such a hurry here.”
I tried to keep this story in mind on my way from Cork into Dublin on Sunday evening.
It seemed to me like even the roads were in a hurry. Cars where changing lanes like mad and honking was the only accepted way of communication.

Ireland is a lovely country, people are friendly, the weather is mild, the countryside is gorgeous and in general not much is working in this country, but Irish people are way to relaxed to keep complaining about this too much, which is a very good skill to acquire when you move here from lets say one of the Scandinavian countries.
