I watched Irish movie "The Magdalene Sisters."
The plot is based on the true story about Catholic Church in 1960's Ireland. Features four women who were taken to the Magdalene Sisterhood Asylum known as the Magdalene Laundries in order to atone for their "sins." The reason why they were taken to there doesn't seem reasonable, but that shows how Catholic Churh dominated the Irish society in that time.
It's not a delight plot at all and makes you feel bad a bit. But it's a good movie to know about the recent Irish society.

Amazing Real Madrid...
7/16
Visited one of the most attractive tourist attraction in Dublin "GUINNESS Store House." You can know how Guinness are maken and its history. At the end of the tour, you can drink a pint of Guinness at the unique observatory bar with 360° view of Dublin city and beyond.
In the evening I went to watch Europa league match between St.Patricks(Ireland) v.s. Valeta FC (Malta) at Richmond Park near my house. It was my first time to watch the live soccer game in Europe. Stand seat is close to the pitch so it's exciting!!
7/17
Walking day at south part of Dublin, Bray to Greystone. Good nature, green, cliff, and sea.
7/18
Practice day for softball.
7/20
Today in Dublin, we had a match between Shamrock Rovers v.s. Real Madrid at Tallaght Stadium. Although I didn't have ticket, I went to the stadium just to see how it's going on. As expected, there were lots of fan gathering at the stadium. We could watch the Real players getting off the bus to the stadium, but I couldn't see them well...

UK travel and Riverdance
7/8~14
Friend of mine lives in Bristol, UK, so I visited her place and spent a week in UK. I went to Bath, Stonehenge, Cardiff, Oxford and London. In each city, I could learn about history happened in those places. Life of Roman era from Roman Bath, mysterious Stonehenge, Academical city Oxford, and one of the famous city for economic, history, arts in the world "London."
In Bristol I joined fantastic day of "Wine and Food fair" with friends. I tasted more than ten different kinds of wine.
London was much more interesting than what I thought. Especially, if you are interested in architecture and arts, there are lots of things to see. Even I don't have good sense of arts, I could enjoy and feel something from it.
7/15
Unexpectedly, I was invited to watch Riverdance at the Gaiety Theatre. "Riverdance" is one of the famous theater consist of Irish dance and music. Actually it was my first time to watch in a live show, but it was hilarious!! I really enjoyed how they make a step so quickly, how day play their music, and how they create their dances and stories.
After the show we went to have a pint to the PUB with person who sitted besides me and others together.

Party night
7/3
My house mate JP took me to his friends birthday party at "CAPITOL LOUNGE" in City centre. She is Korean and she's been in Dublin for 6 years. Her ambition is to be a writer.
After that, We bought some beers at the lounge in front of our house and moved to another friends house. I met with German women, Argentina guy, and Irish couple who loves Japan. The couple have never been to Japan yet, but they really wanna visit in one day. They know lots about Japan like anime, movie, history etc... He said he watched all series of GIBULI. Everytime it's glad to meet with people who likes Japan.
7/4
Unexpectedly, I didn't drink so much yesterday, but I had a bit headache in this morning. That's why I couldn't make it to go to play softball. In the afternoon, Chika called me that Su Minj gonna leave Dublin tomorrow, so she gonna have a dinner party at her place. I felt better at that time so I went to her house and had delicious "Do-ri-ya." It was good to meet him and it was a enjoyable night.
