I haven't been motivated to write at all lately, but I'll catchyou up on all the events of the past few weeks.
I moved into my new apartment in Limerick city, its a really nice place. I'm living with a girl from Germany, but only for another week as she wants to move out at the beginning of February, because of the price of the apartment. It is quite expensive I have to say and I wouldn't be able to afford if it wasn't paid for by the company I work for.
I went to London last weekend, it wasn't really a planned trip, but I had to go over because of all the WP drama at the moment. I'm hoping everything will be sorted out soon.
Since I began working in Limerick i realized that everything will take alot more time that I orginally thought. I have to start working with companies to organize internships, find accomodation for our clients, and generate new business as well. Which is all hard to do when the economy is in a bit of a recession at the moment.
Can't wait for the superbowl next week. I hope I will have a TV in the apartment by then so I can watch it. The Giants are in the superbowl for the first time since 2000 and the last time i watched the game I nearly cried for them, they were destroyed by the Ravens. I don't think they will fare too much better against the undefeated Patriots. Good Luck Giants!

January has been such a hectic month for me. I spent New Year's day in Paris, it was a really good start to the year. I can finally say I have been to Paris now, and I can atest that the city of lights is definitely the most beautiful city I have ever seen architecturally.
On the 27th of December at 9 am my flight landed in Montpellier, France and the second I walked out of the airport I was amazed by the beauty of the place. The weather was perfect, a bright sunny day, and the airport was surrounded by palm trees to add to the ambience of the whole moment. Over the next few days I saw Carcasonne, Toulouse, Millau, and Rodez all in the south of France. There are over 600 pictures between my camera, jennifer's and damien's, so we saw a lot to say the least.
We spent 4 days at Jennifer's house in Rodez with her family, and ate a traditional French dinner every single night. While they didn't speak a word of english, it was still easy to understand them with my limited french, they were some of the nicest people I have ever met and I hope to go back to see them again sometime.
Then we took a train up to Paris and spent 3 days there seeing all the main tourist spots, Eiffel Tower, Sacre Corse, La Louvre, and Versailles. There was a lot more as well, but too many little details to put in.
All in all Paris was a brilliant choice to spend new years, and France in general was fantastic, I would go back anyday.
