Last night didn't end up being as much fun as it should have been. We went to the "party" that the school put on. It was at a club so there was lots of drinking and dancing. I find it rather weird that when we go out, it's like being back home because they listen to all of our music. I mean, don't get me wrong I love hip-hop and dance music, but for some reason it's not what I'm into for over here. I would much rather sit in a pub and listen to live bands that actually play Irish music. It makes me feel like I'm getting to know the culture a little better. So the club scene in Ireland is basically the same as the US, except the guys look a little more gay because they are European and what not.
I got to try my first Slippery Nipple at the club, which was delightful. I know there are a bunch of different ways you can make them, but here it was a shot of Sambuca and Bailey's Irish Cream. Basically tasted like I just ate a black jelly bean, which are my fave, so it was very good. Props to the bartender, because he was the on who suggested that I try one =)
Today I got up early and went to the zoo with Amber, Bonnie, and Louis. It was a bit chilly to be walking around, but it was so worth it. I hadn't been to a real zoo in a long time, so it was nice to see all the different animals. Lots and lots of monkeys, a lion, tigers, you know the normal zoo animals. Unfortunately they did not have and giraffes or zebras like they had promised, which made us a little upset.
We were lucky enough to witness something that not every person sees on an average trip to the zoo. As we were looking at this cage of monkeys Louis pointed out that one of the male monkeys was playing with himself. haha we didn't believe him at first, but we looked and sure enough the friggen monkey was jerking off. haha. I had no idea that they did that, but it was really really funny and very gross at the same time. The look on his face was priceless.
As we were walking around the park, we noticed a little boy standing next to a hut by himself. I thought it was odd because he couldn't have been more than 3 years old. He was so cute but looked so sad, we didn't really know what to do, finally we went up to him, and he told us his mommy left and kept telling us he was lost. Just as we were about to call the office we saw his family way down the walkway. He was so happy and ran to them. So yes- we kind of saved his life. The shitty part about it was that his family didn't even really look concerned at all. I would be freaking out if I turned around and my kid wasn't there, especially in a crowded zoo in the middle of a city, ya know?
