I can't speak for tumblr but in my case I didn't.

St. Annes park, Clontarf and the tea room is in Howth. Oh and the delicious sausage bagel was eaten in my sitting room Clontarf too :)

It probably wouldn't be appropriate for me to answer this.

9 people asked me this. No it's on a glass coffee table.
Are you all high?!

I just don't know enough about this subject to attempt a reasonable answer, as soon as I learn more about it, I'll give it a shot.

The Pebble Beach, Clontarf.

Oh, eek, tosh bish bash, eeesh, gee golly gosh, um, eerg, ... my great command of the English language?

Some of my staple diet of good wholesome Atheism comes from:

You're welcome! I totally understand how frustrating it is to live in a Christian dominated society (I'm Irish, believe me I understand), but I think things are looking up for us non believers.

My friends know I'm an atheist (half of them are too I suspect) and I think it's important to be vocal about it.
Having said that: It's important to choose your moment, if you're constantly vocal and too militant you can come across sounding as crazy as a religious fundamentalist.

I did go travelling on my own. I enjoyed it but I think I'd rather go travelling with other people next time.

As in government grants for new business ideas? Yes, I think so. I've seen people canvassing outside a business park for a similar scheme. I'd imagine it's pretty tough to be approved the way things are here at the moment.

Love:
1. Friendly people
2. Guinness
3. The ceol agus craic

Dislike:
1. The greedy people who have destroyed it
2. The self serving politicians
3. The apathy of the people to what's happened here

I strongly considered bringing no techie gear, but in the end I settled for bringing my 1st generation iPhone and my DSLR camera.

My phone is old and beat up so I figured it wouldn't be much of a loss if it got broken or nicked. I used the Hostelworld app to book my accommodation and the excellent EirText Pro app to send free webtexts when I had WiFi access. The Weather Channel app was pretty useful too.

My DSLR was a bit more of a liability as I had to have it on my person at (nearly) all times, but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't bring it.

I left my Sony Reader at home for the trip and returned to good old fashioned dead-tree books instead.

Ha, thanks for the disclaimer clarification :)

I'd go back to Laos in a second. I really enjoyed Luang Prabang and I feel like I'd barely begun to scratch the surface of what the country had to offer. The scenery I did see was astounding, the food delicious, the weather was great and the people were really friendly and didn't suffer from any tourist-jaded contempt. Send me back there please!

Yes :D

Well there are quite a number of reasons but I'll detail just a few.

First off, within an hour of arriving in Hanoi I was robbed of a substantial amount of money by a con man taxi driver. He also tried to drop me off at the wrong hostel abetted by an associate who whipped the cab door open and flashed a card from the hostel I wanted to go to in my face, in the hope of conning me into checking into his hotel. This is a very common occurrence in Vietnam, all but two of the taxi firms are run by the Vietnamese mafia, who take advantage of newly arrived tourists. I know this now.

Second, Hanoi is filthy. There's rubbish and rotting meat all over the streets. It's also really really dusty, so if like me you've got mild asthma, expect it to be aggravated.

Third, while the people are sometimes friendly (for example, when they're taking your money), the tuc tuc and motorbike taxi drivers are unbelievably irritating. If you go for a walk, expect to be pestered by them once every 30 seconds to use their services. Yells, whistles, hands waved in your face, even grabbing your arms. So even a ten minute walk turns into an exercise in pure annoyance.

Forth, the noise is never-ending. It's astounding. The locals are obsessed with beeping their horns. I've never heard anything like it in any other city. The massive volume of traffic leads to a 24 hour river of noise.


Perhaps the outskirts of Vietnam offer a more welcoming experience.

Lol. Cheers!

My pleasure.... Mr. Wheeler?

So either you're 15 or 55 :)
Well if Bieber is on the front of the Rolling Stone with the words "This guy is a sucky turd who licks chickens" then I guess it would recover some cred.
