April 30 Dublin & Guinness Brewery

Well after sleeping until 2 yesterday, some new people moved into our room. There's two Americans and a younger couple from Vancouver, we weren't going to drink tonight but the American was persuaded us into joining the pub crawl. We joined him and his group for dinner it included more Americans, and a dude from Brazil. One of the American girls immediately pissed me off, it's normal for backpackers to tease each other on where they're from. But this girl was pretty arrogant, and it's pretty ballsy for an American to make fun of other countries. I avoided her for the rest of the night.

It was a typical pub crawl, we met some cool people. A local Irish guy was going to play rugby in Sherwood Park, met some people from Texas, and North Carolina. Every American so far had been cool, except for the one we met at dinner.

A particularly embarrassing moment was when Bryce for some reason was wearing a girls sequin tank top and Cam in his infinite wisdom walked over and ripped one of the straps. I had no idea what he was thinking, I would've started laughing but it was incredibly embarrassing. The girl and her friend were horrified, I ran out the front door so I could let out a burst of laughter. Cam gave the girl some money and spent the rest of the night apologizing.

I left the crawl early, I was completely bagged. After wandering around the neighborhood looking for some food I settled on a shitty looking burger place. I headed into the hostel to eat in the kitchen, it was locked. So I headed back to the room. I opened the door only to see one of the guys from Vancouver pissing on the fucking floor. I was blown away and had no idea what to say. I locked myself in the bathroom and ate my burger. I opened the door only to see two hostel employees questioning the culprit. He was beyond shit faced, couldn't even put two words together. They were threatening that if he couldn't produce his key they would throw him out. I tried to tip toe into my bed without stepping in the puddle. I made every step clean, except for the last one. I threw my socks in the garbage. I drifted to sleep listening to the hostel employee continue to talk to the drunken idiot. I heard some mopping, and some puking, but other than that I slept ok. It's now almost 6pm the next day and the dude and his travel companion are still asleep. I'm thinking of buying adult diapers and putting them on his bed.

We went to the Guinness brewery today, it was a little disappointing. I was hoping to actually see some beer being brewed but it was just displays and some cool old Guinness ads and bottles. The free pint at the very top in the glass bar was cool, but it's rainy here so you couldn't see much.

Cam is once again going to do some traveling on his own, he wants to see more of Ireland. I think we're headed to Amsterdam on the third.
