Ireland Trip : 18th September

Today I didn't really do much. My tiredness from cleaning my house was still there. So I spent quite a while talking to the new friends that didn't feel new at all because of the way they treated me. 

I didn't feel awkward or different. They really know how to make their guest feel at home. They are very matured in terms of thinking eventhough most of them are younger than me. 

It's interesting to have a chat with medic students because obviously they have different style of thinking compared to engineering students.

I went out at 2p.m with a few of them. Well it was Sunday, they didn’t have class today. We just hang around in Dublin city, looking at the buildings and drinking hot chocolate from Buttlers. 

I visited Trinity College. There is an old library there that's famous for its 'Book of Kells'. For someone who likes books, I'm amazed with the old library. They say the library looks like the one in Harry Potter.

At the counter we met a gentleman, a Cashier in his early 40s. We asked for 3 Tickets. Student‘s price was 9 Euro per person. He looked at our cards. Apparently he was amazed by the courses that we took. Then he smiled and let us entered the library FOR FREE!! Alhamdulillah...

40 minutes later we went to the Trinity College‘s souvenir shop. Someone approached us and he turned out to be the cashier again. He gave us 2 10% discount coupons for the shop. Before he left he said,
“My name is Ken. I wish all you the best and success in your studies. Whenever you are here, you can ask for Ken“

That’s when I realised that this trip was the beginning of a whole new experience. I’m really looking forward to my real solo trip tomorrow!
