Getting my face bite to pieces by mozzies.


2/and what was your best??
To many to list probably one of the many walks up in the mountains. Amazing views and normally plenty of zen moments

3/how did the bhang lassi taste in Varanasi(Benares)??
Tiger;)Nice & strong! :D

[Spacer]

where in ireland do you hail from?

In a small town bout an hour outside Dublin


have you always lived there?

Yep :)


what are the best things and worst things about where you live?
Good: It's nice and quiet compared to Dublin, lots of nice little pubs and people are more friendly than in Dublin.

Bad: To much development of late loads of houses being built. Also I've lived there all my life and familiarity can breed contempt after a while.

Have you travelled much outside of Ireland?

[Spacer]

Been to a good few countries around Europe and also been to India, Nepal & Thailand last years, spent over 9 months in Asia. I'd highly recommend it.

[fountains of nay]

Which was your favourite Asian country and why?

[Spacer]

India, it's crazy, such abject poverty and still such nice friendly people, also such a spiritual country, amazing spiritual, especially in Varanasi. It's a completely mental country, can't describe it in words.

I'll be back in Asia in about 6 weeks, was gonna go to South America but Im going to Asia instead, gonna start in the Philippines this time.

huh?

[fountains of nay]

Dude, I hope you have a wicked time when you get there. Travelling is fantastic.

[Spacer]

Cheers, I'm hoping it will be good! You're in Prague now? You get around aswell, you were in Japan and then back in the UK yeah?

[dapablo]

Do you ascribe a motive for visiting exotic places beyond enjoyment ?

[Spacer]

Do you ascribe a motive for visiting exotic places beyond enjoyment ?
Well I like travelling and experiencing other cultures, people & natural beauty. Plus I'm lucky enough to have been born in a western country so I have the financial means to do this, work for 7/8 months then travel for the same lenght of time. It's nice to be able to take it that easy in life. Everyday I work in Ireland is one day of not working and enjoying life somewhere else.

[fountains of nay]

Cheers, I'm hoping it will be good! You're in Prague now? You get around aswell, you were in Japan and then back in the UK yeah?

Aye, Japan last year, England for 9 months (luckily, no babies in that time!) and now in Prague (have been here for just over a week) training to be a teacher.

So, If I was to visit Ireland for a week or so, where would you recommend?

[Spacer]

Emm, depends what your after I suppose. (I wouldn't recommend it until next summer though!! :) )Galway on the west coast is a pretty cool town/city, it's far better than Dublin, it has much more character. For rural beautiful areas, anywhere in Kerry in the South West or Glendalough in Wicklow (which isn't far from Dublin).

I'd like to check out Japan someday. UK I'm not to pushed about apart from going ot the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides in Scotland someday.

[dapablo]

My family come from Cork. Are yours republican ?

Not even Stone Henge?

Not even Stone Henge?
Stonehenge could be cool alright but we've loads of similar sites in Ireland.

[Peace-Phoenix]

Ever kissed the Blarney Stone, or is that just a tourist trap?

[Spacer]

I kissed it yeah, it is a bit of a tourist trap but nearly every Irish person has been there aswell.

[Peace-Phoenix]

Aye, I've kissed it too. Had to really. Couldn't visit Blarney Castle, which is a very beautiful site, and not kiss it. Do you feel you have the gift of the gab? Or are you a shy person?

[Spacer]

Hmmm, hard to say although with a few pints on me I'd talk the hind legs of an ass! :)

[Peace-Phoenix]

Are you a particularly political person?
