Half time :)

Hello and a wonderful holiday from Ireland :)
No, I didn't make a mistake, for us, October 31st is actually a holiday, but November 1st is not. This is the first time that I have to go to uni on November 1st (hopefully the last time too). On Wednesday, I also have my first midterm exam. But, as the grandma would say, 'oh come on, it'll be fine'. I hope she's right :)

Apart from the uni stress, my Irish life is really great. Don't get me wrong, I also really enjoy my uni courses, but running around in the area is more fun :D

Here are some pictures from my trips in the neighborhood:

 This sweet, lovely Cork. That's exactly how I imagined it before I came here. I took this picture when I was walking along the River Lee.

On the weekend, and also today, the Guiness Jazz Festival is taking place in Cork. You have to experience it, unfortunately I can't post videos here, but I took some pictures for you. The whole city is full of people, you can find a band on every corner, it feels like being in a movie. In between, you can also find food stalls, just like at the street food festivals in Austria. Oh Cork, you're just great and I love you <3

A proper bratwurst at last :D (Yes, those are pickles, yes it looks disgusting, and yes, it tasted really good)

I notice that this blog post is shorter than others. Even though there isn't much to tell at the moment, I wanted to show you what's happening with me. But now the quiet time is over, we realized during breakfast today that it was our last 'free' weekend. The next 7 weekends are planned, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, Amsterdam, London, Northern Ireland - here we come :) and in 53 days it will be - goodbye Ireland - hello Austria. Tomorrow marks 2 months that I've been here. 2 months in which I learned, saw, and experienced so much. 7 weeks are still ahead of me. And every minute will be used. Then the blog posts will be longer and more interesting again ;)

To those who celebrate Halloween today - have a lot of fun. Halloween is celebrated big here, of course we can't miss that either. A happy holiday to all of you tomorrow,

lots of love from Cork
