I made it to Dublin, after a four hour bus ride, and a short taxi, at 9:30 PM. I went out to a bunch of local/famous pubs, then went to bed, as today will be a long day. I have to hurry to write this message, as I am only given 30minutes of free internet per day. The only thing I can say so far is that the Temple Bar, the most famous (arguably) bar in Dublin is not all it is cracked up to be, it was so packed you literally couldn't move. Just imagine putting two college frat parties, in one little pub. This place called Porter House brewed all of its own beer, and was a pretty awesome place to go.
This is my first time in a hostel, and it is very different, and not all in good ways, but I am enjoying it as best I can. It was 18€ per night, and I am sharing a room with 15 other people. The people don#t talk to you, they just sleep, get up and leave. It is one bathroom to about 60 people, and I haven't seen a shower, yet. But other than that, it is worth the money because all you need it for is the bed to rest for a few hours. All of the people here are young kids, like myself, traveling, and looking for a cheap place to lay their head.
I am headed off to St. James Gate (Guiness Factory), the Jameson distillery, Trinity College, and the Post Office today. It should be very busy, but exciting!!
