We payed Monika a call on saturday, in Greystones. Paul prepared very tasty bbq and Monika made the best chocolate dessert I've ever had. While the couple was cooking me and Mariona were looking after little lady.

Roisin is so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off her.

The new little human being, mystery. Whole life is ahead her!

***************************************************************************

In the evening we met Mariona's friend from English course and my friend from Canada.

We spent the night in Blackhall, aka Black hole. We enjoyed the party in someone's apartment. Going to the pub is not the best option here (in my opinion), cause Irish people seem not to know how to party. They know how to get smashed very well instead ;)

LIBERTIES - you should be glad you're alive !

As a tourists we didn't know the city at all before we arrived. It's a common knowlede that every city has its own dodgy areas you wouldn't like to discover alone at night. Especially when you are a girl.

Like Nowa Huta in Krakow, like Baluty in Lodz, like Praga in Warsaw, like Brooklyn in NY, like Barric xino in Barcelona... Dublin has its worst area called Liberties. We've just found out that the street we live at is in.... Liberties.

People react differently when we tell them where we live.

People at work said "Well.. don't worry, it's not THAT bad..". Randomly met people say: "Jesus, you should be glad you're still alive!" or "how come you're still alive?". We were hoping that maybe there's some other worse area... but no. Yesterday we heard, that liberties is definitely the worst XD

However, we are not too worried. Everything seems to be fine so far XD But check daily news just in case, cause if it was too late we won't be able to let anybody now about any harm :P
