I've found an internet cafe with proper web browsers! However, it's run by a Chinese guy and everything on this computer is set for the Chinese language, which makes things a little difficult, but I'm managing.
Galway was very nice. It's an exceptionally beautiful, quaint town. It feels very Irish. Dublin felt Irish as well, but also like any other major city in the world. Although the main street that my hostel is on is very, very touristy. But ah well, it has about a dozen pubs within a few blocks!
Yesterday I want on a tour of the Cliffs of Moher with some American girls I had met the previous night. They were very beautiful, and the tour guide was this old Irishman who loved to laugh at his own jokes. I love the old Irishmen here, with there thick muttonchops and pints of Guiness. It almost seems like the pubs must hire these guys to sit outside their establishments and drink, because they are just SO typically Irish.
Last night I ran into some other people that were on the Cliffs of Moher tour, plus some random hostel girls, and we went to the Kings Head pub and enjoyed some blues/covers from the live band. Then we headed off to this club that was having an 80s night. I wish I had my camera, so that I could capture the ridiculous dancing that took place. Everyone there was SO into it, it was great. The place was also a bit of a meat market, probably due to the high number of drunk English boys. Ah well, it was still fun.
Today I'm taking it easy and planning the next stage of my trip. Right now I'm heading back to Dublin tomorrow to hop on a plane for London. On Saturday I'm taking a day trip from London to Stratford to see Romeo and Juliet performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company (woo!), and then Monday I take off from London for Paris, at Paris jump on the night train for Barcelona and arrive in Barcelona on the 13th. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing from there, possibly heading down the coast to Valencia.
Cheers!
PS - I still need people's addresses for post cards....

I'd like to credit myself for passing on my disdain of the English to you; but really, the English themselves are quite good at getting others to hate them.
Remember - have yourself a Sunday roast whilst in London. Most pubs will offer it. It's a bit of a splurge, but it's a quintessentially British splurge (and quite tasty too), so I highly recommend it.
The American girls WERE quite pretty... but really it's all about the Irish girls. The lilting accents, fiery curls, willowy figures... now I'm back in London with ordinary looking people. :(
Ordinary looking... like Elizabeth Hurley you mean?
Also, these Irish girls sound suspiciously like Newfie girls...
Good thing most british men are ugly bastards
