A Sort of Homecoming

A few random thoughts on being home from an emigrant.

  • Where are the guards? Apart from the ones directing traffic yesterday in the capital during the protests, I don’t think I’ve actually seen a cop. I thought Dublin was under some sort of police state type rule, but you wouldn’t know it.
  • Guinness is great. I mean really fucking great.
  • Americans are really obnoxious people.
  • E cigarettes have made a big impact here, can’t get over the amount of people sucking on them.
  • The food and service in pubs is outstanding.
  • Derry is a really lovely place to visit.
  • There are a lot of wind turbines here which is great to see.
  • They use miles in Northern Ireland. Miles for fucks sake. I had forgotten that. How utterly backward of them.
  • There is an awful lot of graffiti in Dublin.
  • The Irish countryside would bring you to tears with its beauty.
  • No one indicates anymore, just like Australia.
    I’ll add more as I think of them

You don’t have to be the edgy hard man all the time. You’re a lovely guy.

I’m not judging or calling anyone names. Just wondering is all.
