Fiddle de dee potatos

Hey hey My Australian and non australian friends!!!
I'm coming at you from Dublin!!!
finnnnally i found a hostel with free internet access, so i have some time to jot out whats been happening over the past few days.
Ah it feels so nice to be able to type without any time restictions, honestly i didnt think these places existed anymore... good ol' Ireland.
The people are really nice here.
I flew in at 9am this morning (its almost 12pm now) and so far ive recieved friendly faces and helpful advice.
Anyway, let me catch you up on the past couple of days.
On the 4th i rocked up in dundee, met up with Paul.
Paul is a freakin awesomly talented musician and i was lucky enough to be able to listen to him, and 2 of his friends, practice before going to see them play on thursday night.
the gig was awesome, trying to convince them to migrate to australia so i can manage them :-P
It was Paul's birthday on friday, so we went out after the show to... i think it was a uni club or something? All i know was the drinks were cheap and the fashion was of an 80s style.
So after a bunch of boggy-ing down, we stumbled out into the streets of dundee, and it is only in the company of true Scots that you can really sample the local delicaies.
Chips and cheese.
Sounds strange, i know, but at 3am, it really does taste fantastic.
I'm learning something new everyday.
So on friday, after a lengthy sleep in, Paul and myself went out to St Andrews and chillaxed. Checked out yee ol' castles and shiz. Its a very pretty place.
Then we had a bit of a quite one, watched Gilberts Grapes or something... It had Jonny Dep in it. lol.
Then the next day, after another long sleep in, we went to Pizza hut, and Then out for another drink.
Started to get cained by the flu by this stage though. Damn flu.
I left yesterday and went back to Edi for a night where i sampled the fine delicasy (theres no spellcheck on this thing) that is Haggis.
It tastes like a mince pie.
Left at 6am this morning, coughing and spluttering, but going ok. Need to find some Cough syrip.
Keen to get out into the Irish country side and meet some Irish folk.
Well, that is all, talk to you again soon.
