Welcome!

Since I was a kid I have been writing stories. Narratives about fictional characters in made-ups worlds, within the infinite realm of my fantasies. Now I write about my real life adventures, about the results of my yearning to see as much of the world as I can possibly combine with a career and regularly seeing friends and family. These stories are primarily a recollection of my own memories, as I am keen to preserve as many details of my foreign adventures as possible, lest the images I try to recall years later inevitably become blurred. As a positive externality, the result may be a pleasant read for the interested outsider. I hope you will enjoy my blog.

The Pub

Inadvertently but not less true I find myself adapting to Irish life to the extent that I spent all my evenings this week in the pub. And it’s not been like ‘I’m going to the pub tonight’ but rather ‘I’m meeting this and this person and the venue happens to be a pub’. Where else? So it was Monday night English class with Sara, Tuesday night watching Ireland – Austria with Bo, now I just come back from meeting Louise and Dan – the former being an Erasmus friend of my sister Anne – and tomorrow it’s gents’ eve with Pieter and Gijs which will no doubt feature some pints in one pub or the other as well. Not entirely surprised but rather slightly amused at the realisation how well one can adapt to a country’s habits by just meeting people and having a good time. Good night.
