Coming to Limerick

There are several ways how you as a student can get from Dublin to Limerick:
- Either you never land in Dublin but fly on to Shannon (clever),
- or you take the train (about 22 Euros for "students from 3rd level colleges" - WHATEVER these are! Poor students? Underdeveloped? Hah?! Those who wear shirts from Penneys only and flipflops?)
- or you simply walk
- or you take the coach from Bus Eireann, which is nearly the same as walking. Costs you only 9 Euros, however (with International Student card).

I could not resist - I took the coach. There is a fine motorway from Dublin to Limerick, but I agree with the bus driver - it will live longer if you don't use it. Thus, we spent four hours jolting over side roads and counting the tempting motorway signs which pointed to the left at every round-about.

The area where I'm going to live for the first month is rather dirty, but as you see in the picture in the banner, I already found some nice corners of Limerick. King John's Castle is really picturesque.
