Last weekend, I found myself hugged by many a bearded Italian. My housemate turned 30, and had invited his seven (!) best friends over from Italy to celebrate. And this we did in abundance. I realised too late that those mediterranean guys have a preference for tequila. But it was a lot of fun.

This does however not stop me from furthering my plans for world domination. Saturday I also met lovely NY blogger Melissa Bravermann, who is currently traveling Europe and writes about local dating experiences, interviewing single female women and dating bachelors. I had connected Melissa with a couple of interview partners and happily gave her a tour of the dirty old town I live in.

Also have the good guys over at GO! Overseas listed my humble online abode here in their Best Of Irish expat-blog list. Thanks a lot.

Coming up: another weekend of hiking to sweat out all the tequila my body has accumulated, and I also spot the Electric Picnic on the horizon. Laters.
