Seventh day in Dublin

Feeling like I fell in a time warp portal, as I’m at the airport again and the past days just flew by.

I guess in Dublin people are quite normal, I actually enjoyed my stay there and the city, even if there are some areas I’d never go to alone. Be it day or night.

Still, as expected, the moment I set foot on the bus to the airport I started seeing all kind of problematic morons just like I like it.

Let’s start from the guy on the bus who probably didn’t get the hint that my legs were in his seat’s space because I literally had no space in my seat, seeing I had you know, a suitcase there. So he just glued himself to my side. Like, I don’t even do it with my friends, why would you, a complete stranger, do it? Ew.

Then let’s go with another classic: people being not ready for security control. Yay.

Another check on my bingo: people coughing their lungs out just because.

And how can it be a valid trip if there’s not at least one person sitting next to me and ignoring the existence of earphones or at least ignoring the fact that you can listen to voice messages by putting the phone near your ear, I mean, that’s groundbreaking.

Final check: people lining up ONE. HOUR before the flight is supposed to leave. There’s literally no one at the counter over there.

God, I hate people.

Second day in Dublin

For once, I’ve got nothing to complain about, not even the weather, as it’s been almost sunny and kinda warm! I’m in awe.

Also, got a beautiful Bakugo plushie as Christmas present, that was enough to guarantee me a good day.

My precious baby.

Not gonna lie, I felt like a little girl going to kindergarten with her favourite plushie in the backpack.

[honnomushitravels]

Should probably prepare a “Hon No Mushi Travel Bingo” for the next time.

I can already check the guy who doesn’t know what earphones are (sitting exactly next to me because e why not) and dumb people lining to board before they even announced we’re starting boarding.

First day (night) in Dublin

“Oh my God I have to be there super early, everybody’s going to be there!”

You guessed it, I made it through the security controls in less than five minutes and here I am! At the gate! Two hours before my flight! Waiting!

But that’s okay, I came prepared for this.

Nice, not only our flight was delayed, we’ll be leaving even later because our plane froze on the way down to Manchester and they have to defreeze it.

I swear, sometimes I think my life’s a joke.

Fourth day in Manchester

Finally found the Chinatown and eating in one of the suggested restaurants…

Knowing me, I’ll finish in a couple of days, but boy was it the right choice to get crispy noodles.

I’m reading a book while waiting and now the character is entering his guest room and all I can picture in my mind is the awful 70s room I slept in when I went to Vegas and that’s really bad. Ew.

Okay, someone from the first floor just screamed I DON’T CARE so loud I heard it from down here.

Really feeling it for the airline employee who’s dealing with them.

My train car to the airport smells of weed. Nice.

Finally made it to the end of the lunch in less than 45 minutes, that’s a record!

Everything was delicious tho. Would recommend.

Today has to be a joke.

We arrived at York train station to get the train back to Manchester, but the first one has been cancelled. Fine, we decided to wait for the next one, one hour later. Just to find out like five minutes before leaving that the train was calling only at Leeds (like, the first stop after York) and we were supposed to change train in Leeds. Okay, cool, at least we know.

But now, plot twist! They apparently found someone who can drive this train to Manchester, so we can stay on board? I’m laughing so much right now.

At least I’m sitting down this time.

Third day in Manchester

I hate people.

We’re on the train and it’s quite crowded. Last stop, four people got off, leaving four seats vacant. And this man, who was standing next to his wife (I guess? Partner? Whatever), who was already sitting, asked a girl sitting with other people if she could get up and let him sit there because his companion was there.

Like, there are literally two seats one next to the other where you can sit with your partner. Why did you have to ask her to get up and leave her friends?

He’s my enemy on this train, now.

So, the first place we wanted to get fish and chips from was packed, the second one we found had no sitting place so we had to eat outside, standing (would not recommend). Decided to at least find a coffee shop to sit and relax for a bit… Passed like four, all of them crowded and with people queuing, finally landed at the coffee shop at Waterstones.

Where they can’t make coffee because the coffee machine broke.

But that’s fine. A hot chocolate (they call it so, I call it milk with cocoa that I used to have for breakfast when I was ten) will do.

Thank God we’re off the train.

I’ve spent the last 20 minutes from Leeds to York suffocating into a nauseous smell of coconut and vanilla and general sweet things, sandwiched between people.

Also, it’s the first time in like two hours that I bend my knees and it’s an amazing sensation.

[honnomushitravels]

Thinking about it, all I can think of is he asked to seat here because he wants to check his suitcase. Spoiler alert: the suitcase is perfectly visible from every seat of the car as it’s on the overhead racks. Plus, his companion is sitting literally under said suitcase.

Conclusion: he’s just an asshole.

It happened AGAIN.

I was literally opening the city map and a random woman turned to me and asked “Do you know where the main Christmas market is?” Do I look like I know where the main Christmas market is? I have a city map in my hand!

Second day in Manchester

I think my fingers will fell off before lunch, as it’s freezing cold here, but the Cathedral was great!

It’s also great that most people are at work now, so there’s nobody around.

The science museum is amazing, but it also proved my body’s temperature is as low as a snake’s.
