Dublin activities and Stockholm adventures...

So when last we left the story we were drunk in dublin.. shockingly enough that was pretty much the story of the rest of our stay in dublin. On Sunday we watched a Gaelic football game.. its a mixture of rugby and soccer, and it is very exciting. The game was the Ireland semi final between Dublin and Kerry.. it was a close and exciting game.. unfortunately eric and i didnt see any hooligan action that night. However we went out to temple bar which was pretty awesome and hung out with a bunch of irishmen drinking mdg and one canadian.

The next day we met up with Rohit and dan on their stop in dublin. We hit the town hard, did the jamo and guiness tours and then also hit up a backpacker pub crawl. I was a little hesistent to pay someone to show us the bars, but it turned out to be a pretty good time. When to a couple cooler pubs and then to a pretty nice lounge where rohit promised this irish guy to get him a job at NBC.. interesting since I dont think he knows anyone at NBC. Also we hung out with 3 candian guys.. Joey, Jimmy and Johnny. All three were awesome especially since they took the candian stereotype and exaggerated it all night.

The night ended with a drunken kebaab and talking to a US girl from NY.. this is when rohit attempted to hook me up with her, but totally missed the wedding ring and all her attempts to tell him she was married.

Our flight to stockholm was pretty uneventful, neither eric nor myself remember much of it. Stockholm itself takes a second to get orientated in, its a bunch of little island connected by walking and car bridges. Everything is very much in walking distance, and accessible. We had a great burger yesterday. Eric had the hot tuna, and I had the italian burger. both were excellent. Our next adventure lead us in search of a bar, not a club which turned out to be very difficult. we ended up running into this former irish pub that I guess just was sold to a swedish guy. The bartender was pretty cool, gave us some great clubs to go to.. which we passed on. but also some good things to do in Kopenhagen. Swedes are just as friendly as irish people.

We are off to Kopenhagen today by train.. so catch up with all you guys then.
