Well my train left at 6:20 this morning. My hostel was literally directly outside the train station though, so I only had to wake up around 5:30. I told the Canadians, because the Russians weren't around all day. I settled into bed around 10, and the Canadians were just getting in- I talked with them for a few minutes then out headphones in and went to sleep. I'll guess they went to sleep around 11- I never really heard them.
Well at 12:25 the Russians come home. They turn on the light and say "sorry" seeing theres 5 people asleep in their room, but leave the light on. We all wake up and make suggestive groans that they should turn it off. The start talking then run out of the room, and down the stairs leaving the light on sbd the door open. I get up to turn off the light and consider jamming something under the door so they can't come in (but I behaved). One of the girls thanked me and we exchanged headshakes and eye rolls, and I lay back down. They come back 10 minutes later (which means the light would have been on keeping us up that whole time). They noisily walk and talk about the room, with total disregaurd for anyone. I sit up in bed and watch them. Just watched them so maybe they'd get the idea to shut up and go to bed. Of course they don't. I decide I'll tell them "five minutes before I disassemble the light fixture. Instead, I get up, they're both sitting on their phones, which they definitely don't need light for, and I shut the light off. My blood was boiling, I couldn't believe they were so inconsiderate. I don't mind people coming in late, it's fine if I get woken up by people obviously attempting to make a quiet entrance or exit. But you could tell they were used to the work revolving around them. They were pretty and skinny, and I can only surmise only surviving off of that, because brains and conduct were definitely not displayed. They also had plenty of light to see by. When they left for those ten minutes, I left my eyes readjust and I could read a book in the darkness. There was light coming in from the street that they could've easily done their business by instead of bothering everyone.
I caught a train to Limerick, now catching one to Limerick junction to make a connection to Waterford. This morning at the station though I actually saw some friendliness at Galway. While no one else talked to or really greeted me, the attendant got me coffee and a chocolate muffin. That's the Irish hospitality I'm used to, and I missed terribly in Galway. I had some terrible food (worst meal I've paid that much for- €12), I think I got ripped off on a converter, and there was no one friendly to make it easier. I'm excited to start out in a new town, it looks like it might be a pretty day, if it's warmer down there I may try to get to the beach
I've also included a map, for those of you that've been too lazy to look up the areas I've been talking about.
did you give the russians my number? ;)
ReplyDeleteI would've been able to give you the street number to where their bodies were burried
