I went to a pub which I had looked for in my guidebook in advance. "I'm ready to drink Guinness!" I didn't know how far it was from here, but I left the hotel.
Dublin, on Friday night, was quite crowded. There were lots of cars, needless to say, lots of people. Some people with cigarettes walked on the crowded sidewalks so I couldn't walk in a straight line. Although there were lots of traffic lights there, people were still crosssing roads without a traffic light.

I walked for 15 minutes and I arrived at the pub. It was packed with people! I couldn't sit down and I drank Guinness while standing. It looked like there were more younger people than in the pubs in Galway. I got out ot the crowded pub because it was uncomfortable.
I wanted to have dinner but every restaurant looked like it was full. It was a pain to enter a crowded restaurant so I bought some food at a convenience store.
right:This is my last supper in Ireland. Fried chicken and Lasagna, which I bought at the convenience store, with a scone which I got at a baker's shop. Although I had been wanting to eat fresh vegetables during my stay, I chose them unthinkingly....
I checked out at 7 a.m. next morning. I asked for a wake-up call at 6 a.m. but I didn't get it. It was a good job that I set three alarm clocks, mobile-phone, travel alarm and wrist watch alarm. I thought that I might get stuck in traffic and I left in the early morning. But there were no traffic jams because it was too early.
I checked in at KLM counter. I had plenty of time for my flight and I went to the duty-free shop. When I arrived at Dublin airport last month it looked like a sad little airport, but actually there were lots of shops and tourists. I walked around some shops and I bought two bottles of whiskey for my friends. Because I heard that Irish whiskey is better than other whisky because it has one more "e". But I was worrying that we might be able to buy it in Japan!! For example,YAMAYA(Japanese famous discount liquor shop)....
