Arrival in Dublin

So I've arrived safely in Ireland. It was a little crazy at the airport, but I guess what is traveling without a little adventure? I got to my hostel by 10am this morning (I'm 5 hours ahead of the US by the way). Unfortunately, my hostel doesn't have WiFi or working internet cards so instead I had to go to...McDonald's bleh, but what can you do? Anyways, I've been doing a lot of walking today which is making me really feel the jet lag.  I'll be fine, but I'm feeling sluggish. The people here are great. I can see why it is always cloudy here though. When we flew in there were two very distinct layers of clouds that we flew through such that there is one very high in the atmosphere and then several hundred feet below is another thick blanket, but the sun did show up today, eventually. I expected some attitude from people because I'm a foreigner but they have been so helpful it's really great. The city is really clean too. Instead of using street sweepers on the sidewalks they use zamboni's, but I noticed that it makes my shoes slip really badly. In fact I saw a man slip and fall while he was trying to look at something which sent him into some sort of a seizure. Luckily, other people were around and ran to his aid and called the ambulance (I have no idea how to treat a seizure). I've already seen my first "castle" Dublin Castle. It's not much, but I have a few pics which I'll upload later. The only part that matters is the tower because it's the only original piece left. I didn't go in, I've only been partaking in free stuff right now other than food. It's gonna be soooo expensive being here. I thought the exchange rate was ok but then I realized that I was completely wrong. I pay the same amount for stuff that I would pay in the states (i.e. 4 bucks for a good cup of coffee etc). I haven't really met anyone else in the hostel. I plan on going to a little restaurant/pub down a few buildings from my hostel tonight. I'm not feeling so adventurous to go to the bars farther away on my own. Tomorrow I'm probably going to check out Trinity college and some other historic sites. And lastly, one thing a lot of people say instead of your welcome is "cheers" :).  *mental note: forgot a watch, it kinda sux*
