Another Weekend Full of Mayhem in Dublin

Friday: Being that it was Mexican Friday, we headed to THe Alamo Cafe in Temple Bar area..mmm...not the best mexican ive had. Pretty pricey...the vegatable mix they used was grand but the guacamole left something to be desired. Next we headed to Anseo on Wexford Street...thats a nice little pub. We were educated there on the differences between Culchies (people from the country) and Dubs (People from Dublin). The main thing i gathered is their accent. Culchies speak much faster, and mumble...therefore they are generally much more difficult to understand. Apparently culchies can drink more than dubs but im not sure if that is true...only time will tell. Then we ended the nite in a club called RiRa (its off George Street)...pretty decent. Nothing spectacular...although they did have a fooz ball table. (is that how u spell fooz?) Which i fould quite brilliant. I like to think that we americans had much better skill than the irish.
Another difference i feel the need to comment on is the difference between irish men and american mens behavior toward each other. Irish guys...it could be european guys in general...are much more physically affection with their mates. Its actually quite odd. Just a little heads up because its rather shocking to see heterosexual males behaving in that manner.
Saturday: Since the weather was very unpleasant, our tours were put off and we decided to catch a movie. We saw Friends With Money..(not that it really matters).
At nite, we went to Temple Bar Music Centre to see DJ HYPE...it was an amazing show. TBMC is a grand venue for that type of music but I dont know that it would be that great for a band.Doesnt sound the acoustics would be that great.
Today this far we went to Eddie Rocket's which is the European version of Johnnie Rockets...pretty decent greasy fast good...hahha. It was another appearance of Ranch, so that was exciting.
Got to go do more productive things with my life....Peace
