Enter Carmen.
Carmen: „Let’s go to the Lemon and take a crêpe!“

Although I heard it so often during the last days, it made me smile and chuckle again and again. But maybe it’s just me.

Anyway, what was it that I wanted to tell you? Ah well, the Spanish girls fell in love with a tiny café: the Lemon. It’s in the city centre, in William Street South (that’s near Grafton Street). On Thursday I went there with Carmen, Isa and Berta and although it was a bit dear for my Continental wallet, I have to admit that it was totally worth it: great coffee, great crêpes.

Yesterday we bought two baguettes for dinner. Afterwards we went to Dunnes to buy some more stuff. Chris was asked to take the baguettes. The cashier just smiled and said „I won’t ask any questions…“

At least he found a use for the strange pockets of his new jacket.

So much happened this week: a chaotic InCuSo meeting, lots of cooking and great meals, spontaneous socials, Spanish games, crêpes in the city and whatnot. But one event was out-standing.

On Monday, after the InCuSo meeting, we went for a pint to Metro. It was a bit boring until Isa had a really great idea: let’s have a nerdy party; we made plans. As Thursday’s lectures were cancelled due to an exam board meeting, we decided to meet at Isa’s place in the city centre on Wednesday to have the nerdiest party ever. I think we succeeded: a lot of fantasy and some really nice „costumes“, but see for yourself:

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did.

The new Erasmus students arrived. Well, at least most of them. There are not too many; just about twenty. Most of them are French. Then there are some from Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

On Wednesday we invited them to go to Captain Americas in Tallaght with us so that we could get to know each other. It was nice. That evening Carmen taught me the lyrics of the famos Chiqui Chiqui by Rodolfo Chikilicuatre. „El chiqui chiqui mola mogollon…“

Isabel Beser posted some very nice photos as well as a video of snowy Tallaght on her Spanish blog. Most of them where shot in Tramway Court.
