Podcast 18. Mirar a la Derecha, Mirar a la Izquierda (Escuchar/ Listen)
Mirar a la derecha, Mirar a la Izquierda
Alguien dijo que “para saber donde tienes que ir primero debes saber donde estas” y este ha sido uno de mis grandes problemas durante mi primera semana en Dublín.
¿Dónde esta el rio Liffey? ¿Estoy al Norte o al Sur? ¿En que dirección tengo que ir? ¿Dónde esta la catedral?. He estado preguntandome todas estas cosas durante siete dias y la respuesta era siempre “ni idea”.
En mi pais los coches circulan por la derecha y adelantan por la izquierda, en Dublín es exactamente lo contrario, circulan por la izquierda y adelantan por la derecha, así que cuando tienes que cruzar una calle siempre miras al lado contrario, tarde siete dias en saber a que lado mirar y sorprendentemente estoy viva.
Cuando resolvi estos dos problemas empece a disfrutar de mis vacaciones y descubri parques, calles, edificios, pubs con musica en vivo… sin duda Dublín es una ciudad maravillosa pero lo que realmente me impresiono fue su gente, son cariñosos, amables y siempre dispuestos a ayudar a los extranjeros, nunca te sientes solo en un pub irlandes.
Te recomiendo de veras que visites Dublín. Una visita a Dublín es obligada.
Oh! Olvide decirte que la comida es probablemente su punto debil, llevate algo o comeras sandwiches y comida rapida, pero si prefieres la comida irlandesa siempre puedes comer patatas y brócoli. En lo que se refiere a la carne… la preparan de una forma muy diferente a como lo hacemos los españoles y por supuesto, deberias de probarla, yo lo hice y segui comiendo sándwiches, pero lo mio..... es solo una opinión.
Este podcast fue escrito en Dublín, el 17 de Julio de 2006 en “The Brazen Head” posiblemente el pub mas antiguo de la ciudad.
Look Right. Look Left
Somebody said “to know where you have to go you must know first where you are” and this has been one of my biggest problems during my first week in Dublin..
Where is the river Liffey? Am I on the north side or on the south side? Which direction must I take? Where is the Cathedral?. I’ve been wondering all these questions for seven days and most of the times the answer was “no idea”.
In my country cars drive on the right and pass on the left, in Dublin it’s just the opposite, they drive on the left and pass on the right, so if you have to cross the street you always look at the wrong side. It took me a whole week to know where to look at. I’m surprised I’m still alive.
When I solved these two problems I started to enjoy my holidays and discovered parks, streets, buildings, pubs with live music….undoubtedly Dublin is a beautiful city but what really impressed me was the people, they are charming, friendly and always helpful with foreigners, you never feel alone in an Irish Pub.
I strongly recommend you to visit Dublin. A visit to Dublin is a Must.
Oh! I forgot to tell you that food is probably their weak point, take something with you or you will eat sandwiches and fast food but if you prefer Irish food you can always eat potatoes and broccoli, and about meat… they prepare it in a very different way as Spanish people do and of course you should taste it, I did and kept on eating sandwiches, but..... it’s only an opinion.
