§ ¶Surprise, Surprise!

An extra posting on Andre in Ireland! Why? Because I actually was in Ireland. As a leaving present in May, my lovely collegues gave me a return flight to Dublin so I could join the FY05 Kick-Off festivities, which were this weekend. To prove how much fun I had i'm putting the pictures from the weekend online as I write this. I have a very slow connection, so it'll be about an hour before all the pictures are live.

For those of you who are disappointed that the pictures weren't here earlier: last night (Monday) when I flew back to the Netherlands, my flight was delayed, so i was home very late. I was too jet-lagged to remember the promises I had made to put the pictures online first thing Monday night.

Anyway, I've had a great weekend. Expect me to be back at the end of summer :)

Update: The pictures are live! Take a look at them here!

§ ¶So long, and thanks for all the Guinness

Today is my last day at the office, so this is probably my last posting for a while. It's been great! Just look at all the pictures to see how much fun I've had.

I'll miss everyone. Take care. AduC.nl, signing off.

§ ¶PARTY!!

Tonight at 8pm...

At Harry Byrnes...

MY LEAVING PARTY!

(P - A - R - T - Why? Because you gotta!)

§ ¶Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous IC Rep is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil prospects. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his collegue's keeper and the finder of lost interns. And I will strike down on thee with great vengence and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is Team Leader when I lay my vengence upon thee.

§ ¶Three days to go

In the old days, when I just arrived in Ireland, when I was still young, I thought 6 months was a very long time. Ha, I was wrong! It's actually very short, because suddenly I only have 3 days of working left!

Time flies here in Dublin.

§ ¶Echt Hollands

Hollanders op vakantie zijn ook allemaal hetzelfde...

Sorry, this is a Dutch Joke. Foreigners just wouldn't understand.

§ ¶Whoohoo!

This is the paper Adriaan and I wrote on cultural differences within West Africa, when we went to Nigeria. We rule!

For the cretins that do not speak Dutch: we scored a 9. Out of 10. That's good. That's very good. Nobody gets a 9 for a paper worth 4 credits at university. Except us.

§ ¶P + E

Look! It's my old flatmate Paula and her friend Eva. I hope they enjoyed the places in Dublin I showed them. I think they did:

They left for Castlebar on Friday and flew back to the Netherlands today (I think).

There are also some new assorted pictures in the gallery. Pictures of the only open pub in Dublin on Good Friday (w00t!), and of Kilmainham Gaol (pronounce: Kilmainham Jail, and yes it's an old jail). Check 'm out!
