"Is there only this"?
This is the typical thing people wonder when they live in a place and they never travel around.
And the answer is "Yes, there is only that if you always stick around. What else could you come across if you never move from the same spots?"
If you want to experience something else you need to move your ass, take a car, a bus, a train or a plane. Then you'll see different realities.
If you win your laziness you can discover many unknown things.
Sometime you don't even need to go so far away from where you live; half an hour and it feels like you are in a different world...

Roma International Film Festival
Sometimes it feels good to be in Roma.
For the time being I prefer living in a smaller place like Dublin, however, in places like Rome there are
big things going on and it can be pleasant to be there when they happen.
Today I was at the Roma International Film Festival where you can breathe culture, smell it all around

Nasty drunken Irish girls
Sometimes I am asked why I don't like go clubbing.
Simply because I do not enjoy it.
An example as to why I don't enjoy it is when you are on your own, smoking a cigarette, and a drunken girl turns up and demands to wear your hat. You tell her you don't want to give her your hat, because you know she is going to pass it to all her friends and then collecting it becomes a very had task.
So what does she do?
She asks you where you are from so she can insult your nationality.
And what do you do?
You make up a nationality to see what sort of bullshit she will come up with
There she goes

Blues in Dublin
In the weekend,
instead of running after drunken girls in mini skirts and high heels who go out to satisfy their narcissism (by being observed by every guy), a sensible guy can decide to go listen to good blues music and feel like being in a different environment.
It is definitely worth it!

Budapest
Budapest is an amazing city.
Not only is the capital of Hungary gorgeous, what is really surprising is the welfare it communicates: it could very well be the capital of one of the richest countries on earth.
Once again you need to go visit a place to understand it, otherwise you will stick to stereotypes which have nothing to do with reality...

Plzen
When you visit a place for 2 days you have just a few elements to get an idea of the city.
It's very tricky if you cannot talk to anybody since everyone speaks only their own language.
Probably Pilsen (or Plzen) offers more during the weekend when everyone feels like partying, but during weekdays it's the opposite of Belgrade: nobody around and empty pubs.
However there might be some festival which could offer some pleasant moment...

Beograd
It's hard to describe a city which you visit for less than 48 hours.
So you need to trust your instincts, your sixth sense.
Belgrade is a peculiar city: not so attractive during the day, very fascinating with the dark.
It communicates strong emotions, because those who live there do nothing to hide their feelings, with the inevitable Balcan attitude.
What a shame the girls repress their feelings after showing them...

Erasmus reunion in Stockholm: 10th anniversary
I do not know if there are other examples in Europe. Maybe. Maybe not. These people started their Erasmus year 10 years ago, and they meet every year somewhere in Europe to celebrate a reunion, to prove that the Erasmus spirit is still alive.
This year they celebrated the 10th anniversary, so they had to reunite where everything started: Stockholm. The reunion ended with what was typical during their Erasmus: a corridor party.
Ten years later they were in the same spot for their last corridor party.
Was it really the last one?

Cork
I used to live in Cork, and I was happy there.
I had almost nothing (not even an internet connection) and everything at the same time. Today it would be unthinkable to move back there, but it was good to spend a day in "the Real Capital" once again

BRAY
Even Dublin can have hot days and cool landscapes.
Here is Bray, in the south of the capital.
In this area there are beaches, pubs and restaurants like if it was a sea town.
And paradoxically it is a sea town!
