Not So Irish

At first I was worrying about not bringing any music with me. But quite frankly over here they play all my favorite hits from the 70's, 80's and early 90's! Well I really enjoy it, but I am slightly disappointed that the only place I can hear some good up and coming Irish Rock is as I walk by the random music shop they will have every few blocks. I actually hear a good bit of music I'd enjoy owning but when I think that I still have a good 7 months until I get to my own CD player the thought quickly passes.

The big highlight of my time in Ireland so far is not the untranslatable accent, or even the lower drinking age, but their idea of an American restaurant. Well they have plenty of BK's and McD's in fact I counted 4 of each all within walking distance in Dublin. But their are much more entertaining places like "Hill Billy's." Now a restaurant dedicated purely to fried food is of course my dream, but I take a slight offense to putting a restaurant of such glory to the social standing of "Hill Billy's", deep fryers are quite expensive and most hill billy's more then likely just wrap their meat in aluminum foil and toss it in the fire for a good bit.
