What a Feeling

Posted on July 31, 2011 by Ibrahim Elshamy - University of Ulster, Magee

I rode a lot of buses in Ireland, crisscrossing the island many times (occasionally in other modes of transport). Some people really dislike the sometimes 4+ hour rides along windy, curvy roads, around and over the hills, stopping to drop … Continue reading →

Spring Fever in Belfast and Abroad

Posted on May 14, 2011 by Ryan Merola - Queen's University, Belfast

“Yeah, you guessed it. I fell. Cut up my right arm, bruised my left, and was once again left limping away (this time physically and not emotionally) from another attempt at a sort of spiritual moment we were sharing. And that was before I even got to the river rocks…” Continue reading →

When the sun goes down o’er Dublin town

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Stephen Dorner - Trinity College Dublin

The transformation from winter to spring in Ireland is unlike any seasonal change I have experienced. When I left Dublin in March for a respite at home in the States, I left gray skies, damp air, and chilling cold. When … Continue reading →

Humour and Solitude

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Ibrahim Elshamy - University of Ulster, Magee

I will long remember my time in Ireland—no, in Derry, specifically—by the geniality of people and palatable genuineness in our interactions. I learned very quickly that dry or sarcastic humour is often taken as quite rude (and I hope to keep … Continue reading →

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Steven Sifuentes - NUI Maynooth

The other day, I took my camera into the fire station with me because I had not taken any pictures all year with the guys on “D” watch, but then everybody kept asking me if it was my last day. … Continue reading →
