Hello,
This week was great, I learnt a lot and I feel that I have made progress in English, I understand much better than my first week so I am very happy.
During the weekend, I made a lot of visits with my friends, we visited Dublinia and we saw how the Vikings lived, and how they traded etc … We visited Guinness, we saw how they make beer and we tasted it, but we didn’t like it.
Then we wanted to know how they make whiskey so we visited the old Jameson distillery, and we listened to the story of John Jameson, he had 16 children !
Sunday morning we went to see Jeanie Johnston, to listen to understand the history of emigration and how the Irish lived during that period.
Afterwards we visited the archaeological museum which has a collection of magnificent Celtic jewelry, which dates back to 4000 years. And we saw real corpses of Irish Vikings who were found in Ireland, and lots of skeletons.
And finally we participated in a Chinese festival 🙂
We really enriched our knowledge and our culture during this weekend.
