Some Assorted Photos

Its been awhile since my last posting. My photos are scattered over a few different PCs and laptops and whenever I think of updating this blog, I find that I do not have the photos I want to upload on the pc I am using. So, until I get myself organised, I will upload a few of the older and random pics I have on this pc. Some may have uploaded before, but disappeared when the image host disappeared. I will be back soon with some proper decent blogs.

Dublin city in the summertime

Last month, we paid a visit to the Irish capital of Dublin for the first time. It was not exactly something I had planned a long time for, but when I came across some heavily discounted flight tickets, I thought it was worth a visit.

The first thing that struck me when arriving was how similar to the UK it was. Even before we left the airport, I saw some pallets in a corner suppplied by the company I work for!

So it was onto a bus into the city centre and we got off at probably the most famous modern landmark of the city, the millenium spire.



Then we walked a few hundred yards and we were at the river Liffey, with the Ha'penny footbridge spanning across it.



Then it was on to Dublin Castle. Here is a picture of the scenic castle garden.



Then before we checked into our hotel, we went to Parnell Street for some chinese food. I was told this was the unofficial chinatown of Dublin (it does not officially have one). Well, that was the last time I go there!! Restaurants were run by mainlander first generation immigrants and ordering Cantonese dishes were a huge mistake!

The worst wonton noodle soup I ever tasted! Wonton filling was chicken filling and the noodles were not fresh egg noodles.



This Young Chow fried rice was greasy and had hardly any taste nor meat.


That's all for part one.. more next time.
