Ireland pt 2

Ahh well I decided to say in Ireland for an extra day, now the problem was where to sleep. Since it was still raining balls I wasnt gonna just sleep outside. I started the search for hostel's. I had no idea where any of them where located because I wasnt planning to stay in one. All that I knew was that there were a couple signs that said hostel on them and pointed down the street.

I went to four hostels, all of them were full which wasnt a surprise since it was easter weekend. Finally I went to the last hostel that was about a half hour walk to the other side of the city. Thankfully they had a couple rooms. I bought my room, left the key at the desk and went to find a beer. The desk man told me where a good bar was, however I didnt find it, so I went into the next bar that I say, it was called Dubarrys.

I went inside and ordered a beer, the first thing I saw was a UFC poster with a date of a match, now I thought great, the average bro bar. The older gentleman next to me (Adrain) asked me if I was alright, I must have still been recovering from my mild heart attack. We started talking and he was very interested in me being from the US, he has only met a few people from there.

We kept talking more and he bought me my next round of drinks. He said that he was off tomorrow and would show me around the city. Great, it's so much better to see the city from a locals point of view because then you can get even more out of everything that you see. I was sold. Soon his friend Antonio came back into the bar. We talked for a while and he was up for showing me around tomorrow as well.

These guys were real nice, they ended up buying all of my drinks throughout the night. My uncle Scott once told me if someones being real friendly they probably want to fuck you. Sure enough that was the case. The next words out of Antonio's mouth were, "although all I want to do is take you home and sleep with you I cant because I have a boyfriend."

It took a second to register then I said, "What?" Now it was just like a movie I looked at the UFC poster and then to the next one on the wall and the next and so on. They were all of guys with their shirts off and posing. Then I turned and looked the other way looking at everyone, there are guys holding hands, walking around with limp wrists, and kissing in the corner.

God dammit im in a gay bar. I felt like a fucking idiot, I had been there for over an hour and hadnt noticed. I must be getting better at not judging people when I first meet them or something. Now my next job was explaining to them that I wasnt gay but this was the first bar I stumbled on and had no idea it was a gay bar. Also I would feel guilty as hell and like an asshole if I just left so I spent the rest of the night there.

Regardless of my sexuality, they were still going to show me around tomorrow. Antonio leaves to have a smoke and Adrian goes to the bathroom. I sitting alone at the bar when another guy comes up and says "Those men dont seem like you type, do you have a boyfriend?" Ah jesus, now I have to explain myself to another guy. It must have been hunting hour because after they both returned another guy came up and offered me a mixed drink. I declined this one just because I didnt see it poured and didnt want things to go south.

However I kinda regret it because it was a drink filled with absinthe, so that would have been fun. Now its last call, so we had another round. After we finish our drinks they go outside to call a taxi, I stayed inside where the bar tender gave me another beer on the house. A third guy came over and asked if he could take me home, he said I was gorgeous and he would be careful and asked for a kiss. I told him I wasnt gay and gave him a high five instead.

I went outside to see Antonio and Adrian, they were talking waiting for a cab, they went back inside and they guy who wanted to take me home came out and asked me again and if I was sure I want gay. I went back inside, didnt see Adrian and Antonio. The guy followed me inside, he bothered me enough that I didnt see Adrian and Antonio leave so tomorrow I was on my own and I took that moment to go back to my hostel.

I got back there and went up to my room, I was sharing a room with five other people, all Japanese and friends. I walked in and they were all watching a terrible Japanese action movie. I figured I would be nice and watch the movie with them. It was about an hour of absolute confusion. I dont know Japonese and missed a lot of the movie already so I had to put together the peices.

Woke up the next morning and left to find some breakfast. Found a very nice and huge breakfast bagel. The majority of my day was spent site seeing. I walked all around belfast taking tons of pictures and enjoying the sun. Soon it began to sprinkle so I went the Ulster museum. That was a sweet musuem. It was full of anything that has happened in Ireland. Cyrstals, meteroits, fish, birds, skeletons, old ass rocks, volcanos stuff, problems of Belfast etc. I spent a long time in there and it was way worth it.

I got a small snack and continued to site see around the city. I went to the bus station and asked when the bus taking going to Belfast International comes, she said all day, every half hour. Great, now that will be easy to get to the airport tomorrow. Unfortunately it started raining again, so I went the the Student Union, the downstairs of the venue, sat relaxed and waited for the show. This is were I got the first glimps of my idols, I watched them walked past me three or four times and became even more excited for the show.

Once again I need to go to sleep for class tomorrow. Tomorrow I will submit the last piece of the successfully unsuccessful, excitingly dull, coincidentally planned adventure
