    Well I like travelling and experiencing other cultures, people & natural beauty. Plus I'm lucky enough to have been born in a western country so I have the financial means to do this, work for 7/8 months then travel for the same lenght of time. It's nice to be able to take it that easy in life. Everyday I work in Ireland is one day of not working and enjoying life somewhere else.

    Aye, Japan last year, England for 9 months (luckily, no babies in that time!) and now in Prague (have been here for just over a week) training to be a teacher.

    So, If I was to visit Ireland for a week or so, where would you recommend?

    Emm, depends what your after I suppose. (I wouldn't recommend it until next summer though!! :) )Galway on the west coast is a pretty cool town/city, it's far better than Dublin, it has much more character. For rural beautiful areas, anywhere in Kerry in the South West or Glendalough in Wicklow (which isn't far from Dublin).

    I'd like to check out Japan someday. UK I'm not to pushed about apart from going ot the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides in Scotland someday.

    Ever kissed the Blarney Stone, or is that just a tourist trap?

    Aye, I've kissed it too. Had to really. Couldn't visit Blarney Castle, which is a very beautiful site, and not kiss it. Do you feel you have the gift of the gab? Or are you a shy person?

    Hmmm, hard to say although with a few pints on me I'd talk the hind legs of an ass! :)
