Wolfe Tone part1

"Shall we be content to remain in our present oppressed and inglorious state, unknown and unheard of in Europe, the prey of England, the laughing stock of the knaves who plunder us? Or shall we temperately and constitutionally exert our power to procure a complete and radical emancipation to our country by a reform in the representation of the people?"
From An Argument on the Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland, August 1791

Sushi Party--Dublin Style

I went to Eleanor's to help her make sushi for her flatmate's birthday party. It took us a lot longer than expected, but it was worth it. Best sushi in Dublin! Oishikatta, ne! The fancy dress party was class, too. Thanks to Eleanor for being an outstanding hostess (not in the Japanese since of the word) and for the use of some of her photos.

mom's in town

Cindy came to visit us in Dublin on the way home from Cairo. We didn't have much time, but we somehow managed to cram a whole lot of Ireland into two days. Highlights of our whirlwind tour: Pagans and Guinness.

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled

I have been super neglectful of my blog. Sorry. I have a lot of excuses, mostly about how crap the internet is in Ireland. But of course it has to do with me being lazy as well. So this is me promising to turn over a new leaf now that I am feeling more settled. I promise to try my best to update Motherland Japan at least once a week if you promise to be patient with me. Ganbaru!
