Hello there!
I know, I'm late. I've been very busy with a special journey. I mean, do you remember when I told you I got third on a scale of fifteen people in a competition? Of course you don't, it's been a month I told you that.
Anyway, I've been in Dublin for a month and it has been an amazing experience. That's what I wanted to tell you on the 18th of September because that was the day I would have left.
I'm so sorry I didn't post anything, but I've been so busy packing things up.
Will you ever forgive me?
I think you won't, to be honest. It is not the first time that it happens, but I hope you will anyway.
Since I don't have a special topic to talk about today, I decided to tell you about my 'adventures' in Dublin. I'll try not to make you bored, promise.
It all started on the 19th of September.
We arrived in Dublin at 2am or so and we went straight to bed because we had to wake up at 6am, since we had to go to school.
School is evil. I don't even know how some people think it is 'funland'.
Like seriously? Where is this fun you are talking about?
But let's get back to the main topic... The people I've traveled with were amazing, I'm so glad I met them and ,even though some of them got me angry a couple of times, it doesn't really matter because those three weeks in Ireland have been fantastic. Believe me, no one wanted to come home, except our teachers.
I'm so glad about this experience, because I met new people and I got to know some others in a better way. Even school was fantastic! And you guys, know how much I hate school.
Our teacher was a beautiful person, he was very friendly and a very good teacher. None of us wanted to leave him, we actually wanted to sign a petition so we could take him with us hahahaha
We went to school five days a week, from 9am to 1:20pm and we used to eat there. There was a canteen where all the students used to eat and so did our group. We usually finished eating at 2pm and then we usually went sightseeing or visiting some museums or we usually went shopping.
On Saturdays and Sundays we used to go to different places near Dublin or even four hours away from the city. Those were tiring days but I enjoyed them anyway.

So we actually went to Belfast on the first Saturday and we arrived there at about 10am. We went to the Titanic Museum which is a huge building. The inside was amazing, I loved this museum a lot.
We haven't stayed there for long because the bus driver was late for a meeting with some friends and he spent the whole day telling us to hurry up.
I wish I spent more time in Belfast, because it seem a beautiful city. We only had half an hour free time and then we went back to Dublin.

We also went to Galway, which is a very nice town. We stayed there the whole day. I actually enjoyed the time we spent there, because we went shopping and we even went to the beach. The water was fantastic!

We went to Powerscourt Estate in which there were italian gardens, japanese gardens and many other things. A really nice place.
We went to Glendalough, a place where you can reach the largest lakes in Ireland and there is also an old cemetery. A little bit creepy, but the lakes were amazing.
We went to many places and I took a lot of beautiful photos and I enjoyed every moment. I really miss Dublin and the beautiful people I met there.
Anyway, you might be wondering if I did something awkward while I was there. Well, you know me.
1. I accidentally throw my ID card at the man who checked the passports at the airport. I thought he would have yelled at me, but he actually started laughing.
2. I bumped into many people when we went sightseeing.
3. I talked to a woman thinking she spoke English but after half an hour I found out she didn't understand a word I said. So embarassing.
It was a wonderful experience, I hope I will go back there one day. It would be fantastic.
So it's all for today. I promise you will see me next week!
