A visit to the green island

Just spend about 2 1/2 days in Dublin, Ireland. 15 coming English teachers and one actual teacher took the trip overseas to learn about Irish culture and history. The weather was scary authentic as it was raining the whole time while we were there. To sum up the trip it was consisting of a lot of drinking, either at the surprisingly nice hostel or at the pubs. Alcohol was not allowed at the hostel though, so we rejoined with our 16 year old gene and smuggled beers in and out. The visits to the pubs were part of the Irish culture, and apparently Ireland has huge problems with young people drinking, which is understandable after seeing packed pubs on a Sunday and Monday night.
Tuesday was spend in a bus. We went on the Gaelic trip of Ireland, and a very nice driver showed us historic places and even sang a song on the very non-sense-language Gaelic.
Dublin as a city didn't impress me one bit. I did talk to a volunteer guide in the St. Patrick's church, and she told me some very interesting stuff about the Irish people. Apparently they still hate the English people. She asked if the Danes had people we hated (and since we suck at war, there is some obvious countries to hate), but really we don't - as long as we beat Sweden and Germany in sports we're fine. She found that interesting.
