Ireland 2012. Dublin

Dublin in the evening. Lights. Ireland.

In Dublin office, working day starts at 9am and ends in 7pm. By 1pm everyone is away for a lunch that usually lasts about an hour.

Inside the office.

The office space is “open” – all tables and chairs are in one big room. There are also 4 small rooms. Two rooms for meetings and two kitchens 🙂

That’s a fridge from the kitchen 🙂

To say the truth, the Irish “fast food” was not that good. Even the simple things, like a “French potato” could be cooked in a really bad manner.

“Chinese takeaway” killed the remains of our hopes for good fast-food in Ireland. It is even hard to describe how bad it was. We had to throw everything into a trash can. Our “feel of hunger” was so scared that didn’t show up for several days more 🙂

Locals usually eat big cold sandwiches. There are a lot of sandwich fills that can be chosen.

Minimal Irish lunch consists of sandwich, soup and juice and costs about 7-10 EUR.

At the same time, “quite expensive” dinner costs just about 30 EUR and includes starter, soup, main dish and vine. The restaurant food is usually very delicious. By the way, Odessa restaurant proved itself to be really good!

Let’s walk along Dublin.

Government likes cyclists. There are a lot of cycling paths around. But cyclists keep cycling along roads anyway 🙂

And couple more river views in the night. As usually, I do not have a tripod and have to take a picture with the help of local objects. This time the bridge rails helped a lot!

There are not much pictures as we were usually walking in the evening (and it was quite dark). But, believe me, the atmosphere of the city is really nice.
