Moved

Hey everyone. I`ve moved to my new apartment, which feels more like home than my old studio. In my old place, I couldn`t stay there more than 15 minutes after waking up, and I couldn`t spend more than 15 minutes standing up before I went to bed. I was thinking of moving out for some time, and eventually I did. Another advantage of my new apartment is that it`s closer to work, it only takes ~5 minutes to get to work by walking.

And next week I`m going to Turkey for holidays for 10 days. I want to see the normal weather, which doesn`t consists of constant rain and is hotter than 18C.

Weather in Dublin

By the way I forgot to mention in my last post. There is a common belief in Turkey, that Ireland and UK have lots of rain. When I came here, in my first three weeks the rain amount was pretty normal, but until last Monday 30th of July; it was raining for 52 days in a row with rain each day. Maybe the rain amount was not really very bad all the time, however it has rained for 52 days.(give it +- 2 days). But today the weather is quite OK, at 5 o`clock sun was shining, which is quite rare for Dublin, and I sweated under the sun.

Lying on the couch!

I was reading some news at the office while lying on the couch and suddenly I decided to post a blog to my blog. Actually I was thinking to do this a for a while, but I was always kind of lazy to do it. To give an update about my life in Dublin, so far it`s been going great. there are too many stuff to learn at work, great food at Google to eat, delicious Guinness to drink, and loads of fun to have. I`m progressing at foosball, but still there`s a long way to go before I catch (if I can) the crazy foosball players in floor. Rule of thumb: you shouldn`t pass at foosball, you shouldn`t make fancy tricks. but since they are doing those moves, I`m also trying to make some fancy moves. I have couple of pictures to upload, If I find enough time and motivation, I will upload them. There are some crazy pictures of mine at Google summer Party, where I was playing human foosball. I will also upload some pictures of my parents and sisters visit to Dublin, which was a near disaster for them I believe.
