Chapter 2 - Nightlife, unfamiliar frankness and alcohol

Hi folks!

On Thursday we'd got a call from our comrades of the 5 men apartment (they haven't internet yet, poor guys...) to come to a pub called 'The Botanic Inn'. Luckily this pub is not very far away from our apartment, only 10-15 minutes by foot, so Riccardo and I decided to go there. Friedrich prefers to stay in the apartment because he had an interview on Friday.
On our way to the pub we saw a house spotlighted by black light, that looks really cool but we didn't took a photo, shame on us but maybe we take one next time ^^

Finally in the Botanic Inn the first thing I noticed was the strong smell of beer and the fact that most of the people were already drunk. We found the others easily and after a short small talk and introduction how the things will work in the pub and with the girls in there, we bought our first drink: a typical Irish Cider (really delicious by the way). The price was around 3.20 pounds a pint I guess.
It took only a few minutes and we were introduced to some native guys the others met there earlier. They are friendly and frankly in fact, a little too intrusive but this was maybe the alcohol... xD Speaking of alcohol: I've never seen so many glasses falling to the ground, break into pieces and alcohol spilled all over somebody's lap. That was kind of weird because nobody cares.
Anyways, the music there was a mixture of Rock'n'Roll, party music and other stuff I don't know. Later this evening there was a band playing live-music. Not my kind of music, but the girls compensate this point. They are really nice and good-tempered (not to mention that most of them are epic hot dressed... whooohoooo!!!) so you can have easy conversations with them, especially when you tell them that you're from Germany ...but this goes for everybody else too. Otherwise a very few people confronts you with the old, typical German stereotype (you know, the Hitler and Nazi stuff), but they always said that is funny here... oO

Well folks, I still could tell you so much about this evening, for example that a homosexual guy was trying to pick up Konstantin (epic funny moment) or that two cute girls were for some reason extremely in love with my eyeglasses, so that they always wanted to wear it... But I think it's enough for now.

That was a really great evening, it was a lot of fun, we even met an older guy from Germany who is living in Belfast since 2 years. Today we want to go to the 'Botanic Inn' again...

Yesterday Friedrich, Riccardo and I met us with Sebastian, David and Kevin and we talked about our upcoming workplaces. My work starts next Monday, so I will tell you about that when the time is right.

See you next time!
