Time runs!

Weeks here in Dublin goes so fast. I had already learn new things at work and I am really starting to understand how to make offer. It is not the most easy thing at the first sight, because there is many different parts to make it. It can take a week to get offer ready. But I like how it is challenging.

River divides the city into two parts.
Last week was not the best time for me, because I got sick.  I thought I have just normal cough, but I was wrong. On Tuesday we were supposed to go visit in six hotels with my colleague. Unfortunately I was visiting only one hotel, because I almost black out to the hotel floor - I really was sick. Such a pity that I didn't see those hotels. :/

So I was  three days on sick leave, but now I am better... today it had been so busy day. I started to my day with two different offers! Later I will translate couple descriptions, which we will add to offers if needs to.

Then just something about my normal life in here. My roommates are awesome and very nice. I have 3 French boys here and one Hungarian girl who is sharing room with me. We are spending a lot time together and having fun.

Last Saturday my Finnish friend had birthday and we went eat dinner to "Ciao Bella Rome" restaurant. We spent time there 2,5 hours! :) We had a great time.

To the end I will share pictures from Dublin.

See you soon !

Hello Dublin!


I had been now almost two weeks in Dublin and I started my training with Scancoming. First thing to do was Hop-On-Hop-Off sightseeing. I had a ticket for two days and I visited many places by Dublin Pass.

And after my sightseeing I had been on office. First just get to know Scancoming's ways to work and how to use Tourplan, which is the booking system here. Other things I do is organize papers and post, answering e-mail etc. 

Places I visited:

Christ Church Cathedral
Saint Patrick's Cathedral
Dublin Castle
Dublin Zoo
Guinness Storehouse
Phoenix Park
Dublinia



But my buss was actually green.

The Christ Church Cathedral (founded 1028) and Saint Patrick's Cathedral (founded 1191) are oldest church in Dublin and they also are one of the top tourist attractions in here. They are actually very close to each other. On churches, these is much different kind of windows where is much word of God. In The Christ Church Cathedral there is also very nice crypt. There you can also stay and enjoy a coffee.
