Questions about Dublin

Using Google Analytics to record the activity on my blog I found and find a systematic research on the most weird people who come on this blog.

Being a site where I write a bit about everything in fact that is easy walk from the city on issues most relevant, up to temi meno diretti tipo le molte persone che cercano fanciulle di facili costumi (per dirla più elegantemente) o addirittura droga :) qui a Dublino. Lasciando da parte questi temi, non mi interessa sinceramente avere ancora più visite di quelle che vedo inerenti a questi argomenti, ho pensato di stilare una lista delle domande indirette che la gente mi pone quando cerca su Google e raggiunge questo blog, provando anche a dare una risposta.

Prego di considerare che le domande NON sono editate ma riportate così come sono state registrate da Analytics, quindi non sono io che scrivo male (come al solito) ma eventualmente chi ha usato il motore di ricerca per raggiungermi:

D - quanto costa un caffè in irlanda?

R - The key question I would say:) though I imagine that the person poses has never put his nose in a city that more than respond to Marzullo and I wonder, but what good is it to know?

D - the most economical dublin

R - I would say it depends on when it comes to homes, the price of food, life, or else (given the theme "taboo" above eheheheh). Let's say that in general do not divide for Dublin areas of cost if not for the rents that are certainly different between downtown and residential areas. For this, however I have a post where I talk about the issue live in Dublin precisely.

D - dangerous neighborhoods dublin

R - One thing I've learned in Dublin is that it is difficult to distinguish from non-hazardous areas perciolosi. A drunk or harassing a group of nacker meet them almost anywhere. It 'true that in areas where rents are higher and some people in residential areas there hangs a lot. Having said that maybe I also leave room for comments at the bottom of my fellow bloggers to post.

D - bamcomat in Dublin and valid

R - ATM and is valid in Ireland, but watch what you take to your bank transactions!

D - Day Care Centers in Dublin costs

R - Unfortunately I have not had the pleasure of having children and then the breaking of having to think about these things. All I know only by hearsay is that education in Ireland has its costs if nn scuolaccia want to end up in the neighborhood, and good luck!

D - dublin differences between 1 and 2

R - Change zip code:) but are basically large areas so I could answer that it is always the center of town but that touch zonacce like that of Pearse Street.

D - recommend me a cheap apartment in Dublin for 4 people?

R - U.S. Daft.ie

D - Dublin is one hour less?

A - If you come from Italy:)

D - ask for a loan in Dublin

R - Leggi i giornali e lascia perdere per ora

D - come sono i cab a dublino?

R - Grazie per la domanda... bé vediamo direi che sono inaffidabili, incompetenti, spesso in pessimo stato (scordati la visione dei black cab inglesi), guidati da gente che nel 60% dei casi personali non sapeva portarmi in un via nemmeno se già c'eravamo. Per altro lato i tassisti sono anche chiacchieroni, fin troppo a volte, simpatici in molti casi, pieni di curiosità per il posto da dove vieni anche perché poi iniziano a vomitare parole su come loro ci siano stati e gli sia piaciuto ecc ecc

D - dublino settimana che fare

R - Bé se la domanda è che fare for a week in Dublin will refer to this post about the Leisure Dublin, but that certainly touches on the theme. If you ask instead what to do in Dublin this week it's getting easier: the weekend as the pub:) or should I use: (

D - work in Dublin or Paris?

R - This sounds like I take the pizza ham ice cream or cake? We say that is the case, reviewing your plans since both destinations are different and even just a moment in terms of aesthetics Paris One moment that something more than that I can not Dublin)

If it is for Erasmus or Leonardo Project, then handle the "work" and come here to do the good life for a couple of month, you get drunk, meet beautiful women too ubriche ... the beautiful say that alcohol will help, and all ubiachissimamente happy.

Thank you for your questions, all for today!

Quotes From Fishsticks

Transfer to Genoa


On January 9th I was invited by some Italian friends in Dublin to an away football contours (old style) only with the difference that the first part of the trip we made there by plane .
Thanks to a super cheap flight (50 € round trip) with RyanAir odiatamata I, Luca, President, Paul (a native of the island instead) and the young doctor, also known as the stadium and SandoTam Instead he paid three times for the same ticket ... ahahahh forgive and not hate me if you read this, we started off Friday night at a time in Pisa.

The atmosphere in the air was unreal, with the money above mentioned fact we booked half plane:) or it was the first Ryanair flight (for me at least) in which 70 passengers were yes and no!

The party started immediately with the first round of beer, pub style, and photos of the ca .. I know that is all decked with the colors of the Genoese, who am also admittedly the first Yellow-Red (Catanzaro) and Black-Blue and then (Inter). The Griffin still has its charm and by the way the story is on his side, in addition to this first division league which sees him in the fourth position.

Once in Pisa around midnight we got into the car and the young doctor had booked for us and we headed to Genoa, but it first passes one of those institutions of the Italian football transfer: the Autogrill.

was the first time Paul all'Autogril and our Irish companion praised the acclaimed Rustichella celebrating with a nice picture (Luke look for photos).

Late at night in short sti five stoned (4 Italian and 1 Irish) have become the highway to Genova to the sound of chants that Luke has taught us very nicely for the occasion.

Arrival in Genoa around one o'clock and fifteen, just in time to go to bed, me and Paul at home Luke (like the song) and other bé all with their own.

Saturday 10 starts with an Italian breakfast, with the gentle care of Mom and Dad Luke gave us during your stay (mitici!). Immediately after classic tour to the port and the paths of Zena, who has all the typical contours of Catanzaro regarding the streets, much to the experience with the De André creuza (finally know what they are) here and there along the tour .



lunchtime, long-awaited moment for me, we went to the "Lantern", an inn in which we tested zenese typical local cuisine (review I'm a part-time).

afternoon instead Luca was mentally retired pre game collection for everyone to get tickets to the sister of the President has booked (santa now!). Kick-off begins at 18:00 Genoa Turin eagerly awaited game that the home team dominated and won the game thanks to a very bubbly, with Milito absent. To appreciate Van der Borre (which I would use more saw how he played), Sculli who made the striker to break through the placement and Jankovic, certainly future soccer star.

After the game I touched alas, a new D-binge with the whole group more diverse and Genoese friends asuon of pies and floured I filled the stomach in anticipation of the deadly Negroni that Luke has done me good afterwards.

truly wonderful evening, made up of those little things I miss Italy and smiles and laughter among cats.

Sunday lunch at the home of Luke with lasagna, roast beef and veal cutlet with french fries ... shame that I had not drunk the night before and I was honored this lily so I do not like the table I had (I apologize to the family of Luke, among other things Southern Italy and then you all know what we care about the fact that you eat well).

Return with Ryan, as always, and the joy of an unforgettable weekend. Not sure I first saw one of the most beautiful of Genoa: Boccadasse.

Brazilian Wax Befor And After

The Tiger meows ..

Repubblica.it Interesting article in its island green. Toni used to disaster but I can well understand that considering the comparison fattomi from a friend a few months ago still echoes in my head, "a five hundred if you hit a wall due to serious injuries to passengers, many more than a ferrari."

We carry the full article and look forward to your opinion or Italians abroad.

goodbye eurozoo Celtic Tiger?

Enrico Franceschini

was the grandson of an Italian immigrant came to Ireland to do Mason: brick by brick, Patrick Rocca had built an empire that would have left speechless grandfather. He had a legacy of hundreds of millions, a glamorous wife and friends like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair.


If the Celtic Tiger, the nickname earned by his country during the years of prodigious economic boom, needed a symbol, he seemed perfect. But the other day a pistol shot has shattered: Mr. Rocca has committed suicide, shooting himself in the head, in my pajamas, in the garden of his Pharaonic villa with pool. The local press claims that he was going to be ruined by the collapse of the Anglo Irish Bank, overwhelmed by debt and now nationalized by the government, which had invested heavily. And the shot rang out in the darkly rich cocktail society of the Irish capital, "like a bell," wrote a newspaper, "which sounds the end of consumerism and exuberance."


In Dublin, there is no doubt that the party is over .
In September last year, Ireland became the first eurozone country to officially enter into recession after two consecutive quarters of growth negativa.Quel month, ignoring the concerns of other EU member states, the Irish Government guarantee ' total liabilities of 440 billion euro of its six domestic banks. Since then, the crisis triggered here as elsewhere by the end of the financial merry, he fearfully accelerated.


2009 has started with a worst news of the other. Before the failure of Waterford Wedgwood, the crystal and ceramics company's oldest and most prestigious not only in Ireland but also in the UK.


A few days later, the Dell computer corporation, has announced the closure of its plant in Limerick, to transfer fully the headquarters of its European production to Poland, where labor costs are lower than two-thirds : 2 000 employees redundant, the loss of the second largest exporter , with even greater damage if it is estimated that every job resultant five others.


Then in mid-January, the government announced the nationalization of the Anglo Irish Bank: A year ago the bank was worth € 7 billion, now worth just 160 million euro . If the state had not intervened, it went down.


E 'was a triple shock for an economy already struggling with rising unemployment and a budget deficit out of control. After a decade in which Ireland had exceeded all of its partners in the EU and growing richer at a rate of "Asian tiger", hence the nickname that had marked all of a sudden it seemed that this country is intended to deal with the new role that was for a long time: that of poor man of Europe.


As pointed out the stark story that has been repeated at the Dublin Stock Exchange: "What is the difference between Ireland and Iceland? Answer: a letter about six months." That is, if the island a bit 'to the north is almost went bankrupt in late summer, also after ten years of unbridled economic recovery, Ireland will follow the same fate soon.


E 'a rude awakening for a country that just two years ago boasted the highest per capita income among all 27 EU members, except Luxembourg. Supported through the European Economic Union, a favorable tax regime for companies and a housing boom without equal in Europe except in Britain, what was for decades the bottom side of our continent has become the best country for foreign investment, particularly from the U.S..


At one point, according to the Financial Times every five jobs created in Europe, was in a small Irish. In 2006 the then Prime Minister Bertie Ahern said that even "the Irish boom will further increase speed" and probably thought he could continue to govern as long as his colleague Tony Blair in London.


Together, Blair and Ahern had successfully mediated the other thorn in Ireland: the conflict in Northern Ireland between Catholic Republicans (who want reunification with Dublin) and Protestant royalists (who want to remain part of Britain). Without having decided the political future of the once warlike province, both parties have abandoned their weapons and now govern together in a system largely independently from the UK, after thirty years of civil war: a miracle, too, that seemed to belong the new Ireland was no longer a land of hunger, incurable internal conflicts and emigration, no longer identified with a Catholic extremist and obsolete, but modern, tolerant, prosperous, attracting immigrants rather than to export.


Things were going so well here, that writers and artists received a total exemption from taxes, even if foreigners as long as they resided for a number of months each year in Ireland. In short, the country's Bengodi.


The sharp reversal in this trend is partly explained by the global crisis, but domestic factors are specific to aggravate it.


Three elements in particular, similar to what is happening in neighboring Britain. One is the financial turmoil: suddenly people discover that Irish banks were irresponsible lending and investments, who acted with too much confidence, that seemed more committed to distribute bonuses and awards to their managers rather than bring order in their accounts .


Falling sometimes in full illegality, fraud: In December, the Anglo Irish Bank, for the rescue of the government which had just been in debt for billions of euro, for example, admitted that they had given systematically hidden for eight years nearly 90 million € personal loans granted to its president and secretly transferred to an account at another bank in Ireland.


A second cause of the collapse of Ireland is in real estate: buildings have transformed Ireland in the nineties, anywhere from nothing stood tall buildings, residential complexes, extravagant shopping malls, each city and town had its suburbs to luxury ' American, a boom that seemed to have cambiato faccia alla nazione dei prati verdi e dei pub. I pub, in effetti, chiudevano a centinaia, uomini (e donne) non avevano più tempo o voglia di andarci, tutti pensavano solo a lavorare e far soldi, l'etica irlandese appariva mutata.


Ma, come nel Regno Unito, era un boom costruito su prestiti e mutui. Quando è scoppiata la bolla immobiliare, le banche sono rientrate in possesso delle case, il valore degli immobili è precipitato, i cartelli con la scritta "vendesi" e "affittasi" si sono moltiplicati da un capo all'altro del paese. La terza ragione del voltafaccia è più sociale, psicologica. La riassume Mary McAleesem il presidente irlandese: "Siamo diventati un paese consumato dal consumismo. A un certo punto abbiamo cominciato a pensare che non volevamo rinviare ogni gratificazione, volevano tutto e subito".


L'indebitamento personale è oggi trai più alti in Europa . E si risente parlare di emigrare come unica via d'uscita, almeno temporanea.


Per ragioni più personali, scandali e stanchezza verso un leader che aveva governato troppo a lungo, Bertie Ahern è stato costretto a dimettersi un anno fa. A governare c'è sempre una coalizione di centrodestra, ma il suo successore, Brian Cowen, traballa: "Il 2009 porterà sacrifici e dolore", afferma, mentre il ministro delle Finanze Brian Lenihan prevede che Dublino sarà costretta prendere decisioni "che seemed unimaginable until a few months ago.


Someone asked if among these there might be an exit from the Euro: a currency devaluation may be the answer to a shrinking economy. With ' €, that Ireland can not do it. The local economists cite the example of Iceland right to warn that without the euro and Europe, Ireland address the current crisis in even worse conditions.


The relationship between the island and Brussels, in truth, has never been easier. Ireland has already rejected in a referendum on reforms to the Treaty of Union, paralyzing any institutional change in the EU. Now a second referendum is fixed by the end of the year.


The government hopes that the crisis will convince the population that we need "more Europe" than before, "no less. But not everyone is convinced that we will succeed. "If we vote no a second time, we risk losing all the benefits of joining the European Union in Europe," warns the Premier, but sent similar warnings before the first referendum and was defeated the same, although all political parties had made campaign for a Yes to the Treaty of Union.


individuals are generally precipitated Ireland: it is estimated that this year the economy declines by 4.5 percent, unemployment increases to 10 and the deficit at 9.5 per cent of pil.
Among the sixteen countries in the eurozone, only Greece is considered a more risky investment and pay more to borrow money on international markets. The Celtic Tiger roars no more. Barely meows.

Living in Dublin (2) =

Quick update on the previous post "Living in Dublin " about the prices of houses and rentals, thanks to Martha, who handed me a Daft.ie useful links on which are the reports for quarter of the average costs of homes, sorted by number of bedrooms, throughout Ireland (not just Dublin).

Al momento il rapporto sugli affitti risale al terzo trimestre del 2008 quindi non abbiamo i dati più recenti che dovrebbero essere pubblicati a febbraio, ma ci sono già interessanti numeri che mostrano il disastro economico che si sta affrontando.

Intanto per la cronaca diversi miei colleghi hanno già chiesto e ottenuto un abbassamento dell'affitto mensile tra i 100 e i 200 euro netti.

Ecco i link:

NTL disservice

Un'ottima riflessione che potrebbe entrare a far parte della sezione " Vivere a Dublino ", è quella I am going to describe one of my recent experiences inherent in Dublin.

Those who live in Ireland long enough to have never requested the activation of the digital TV service and / or broadband Internet connection, already know very well what I'm writing this article on NTL. This company is in fact notorious to all premises for the humblest service levels from customer service or customer care (which here reads his "attention customers get, we try to disperse them by any means"), although the average overall customer service in Dublin is approaching a level already desperately low (ask that Freddy has already written rivers of words on his blog).

will tell you some stories first, because I will not bother staying on the same line and then because I would like to understand how the experience is really bad for EVERY person I've ever spoken, every time when I have them called.

Two years ago I tried to contact the first time to install NTL Broadband and TV in my previous apartment. We arrange telephone with the operator to have a technician at home and we are told that there was a willingness for a Saturday, three weeks longer than when the called, between ten and one o'clock in the afternoon.

That Saturday, I and my roommates and then we went to wait in the morning without moving home. At three in the afternoon call NTL to understand why nobody had come for installation. We are told with a straight face that they had a nice house phone but no one was open ... we put the soul in peace and ask for a new appointment to the following Saturday. New weekend, new bin! Nothing, nada, nisba, no. Call is still the same old story. In short, only the third week, the technician finally shows up and I am blessed us install box.

More recently: this week, I feel one of my colleagues in the office and go crazy on the phone and I immediately realize what it is. At the end of a 45-minute phone call tells me that he had recently changed apartment and NTL wanted to transfer the account to the new address, but after talking to all the customer service was not succeeded. Yet he continued to pay the internet without it! Only today have said that NTL does not serve the area in which it now ... funny ah? (Maybe make a refund at the end of this month ... maybe).

my situation? Well I asked for a change of contract in my name and apparently they do not do more, we must close the contract first and then open a new one. Were it not that easy to close a contract must first wait 30 days. Open another depends on when their sales department decides to call you, I wait for 2 days.

Ah all this is in four lines, but I called twice to be told two ste information because the first time I've been waiting 18 minutes to watch while waiting for some kind soul could answer me. After that I had clearly syrup 3 more minutes of telephone information and sub in any way trying to avoid that you can speak with some soul.

Last
and funny (to tell) the state, another colleague who told me that to move house had decided to terminate the contract. Call customer service for NTL and say they do not know how ... then give a and no email to write to, call and explain that finally has to send an email with a specific statement to a certain address because close e. .. nothing! Eventually he stopped the direct debit and left without knowing the fate of the account.

My contact for the agency's current apartment Lansdownsproperties writes to me via email: "Please feel free to use the broadband for Another company if you wish. As I head before, 'NTL will not fail to let you down! '

Presents For Stroke Victims

Pisa, Hotel della Spina ***

L 'Alessandro della Spina hotel, situated in the street, is a welcoming place of comfort if you find yourself spending the night in Pisa. Only 10 minute walk from the Pisa railway station is located on a street named after Francesco cross strata Bonaini.

I chose the hotel for a plug romantic weekend with Marta between Pisa and Lucca, and we were not disappointed indeed. Considering that this is a three star hotel I expected a modest Italian, probably aware that in Italy is usually a three-star corresponds to a two more in terms of service.

the contrary, the hotel is very nice and cozy on the entry. I always courteous doormen have welcomed me in late night (I flew with Ryanair from Dublin) and explained in detail the hours of breakfast.

The room was clean and friendly gaming system is equipped with quiet air conditioning and very useful during the cold period in which we stayed. The bathroom is large and well furnished liked Martha.

The breakfast was essential, in short, nothing to see but overall the price of 80 € per night for a double it seemed only fair to this little oasis of relaxation in the heart of Pisa.
