watching Dave's first Ireland travel video, trying to figure out how the hell he planned this, what exactly he is doing. Seems like chaos with him changing flights or whatnot and his luggage not making it. Everything he does is very weird, and since his way of presenting information is always convoluted I can't figure it out. All I can think is one of these things happened 1) he had booked 1 set of flights and then decided to go standby to get there earlier and it backfired causing the luggage to get separated 2) The flight was oversold and he got bumped or took the buyout $ and that screwed up the connections scheduling, or 3) he is traveling on some sort of buddy pass so it was standby all the way, and which is allowing him to afford to do this, and why he
witches about the cost of everything else. (I mean he was whining about the free water from the drinking fountains in Dublin, and then while walking around complains how its hard to find (free) water. Just buy a fresh bottle!) more lowlights below
- Failed to adequately make sure he had the correct phone or phone plan to be able to work overseas, therefore constantly is desperate to find free wifi everywhere.
- He is amazed they have Lavazza in Ireland, the same brand they had in Vegas! Dave they are an Italian company! Then he waxes poetic about the 'European tea way' but then follows it up by showing his disappointment that it was 'ok' and 'pretty standard'. Tea is tea. The only difference Dave, that you're probably thinking about is in England, not necessarily Ireland, they load it up with cream & sugar.
- While looking out the window of the bus he says he's 'noticed the European license plates on the cars is a difference to observe' and later says the landscape is getting nicer and he's starting to see those 'castle vibes' before cutting to a McDonalds.
- Sees anything Irish, while in Ireland, is blown away: Flags, breakfasts, butter!
- Has to take leftovers from his breakfast, of course. Probably to eat cold and off a towel the next day.
- Obsessed with getting a replacement toothbrush, but not a replacement umbrella. Then is clearly disappointed when his luggage shows up that he spent money on a new toothbrush.
- His first stops are inside tourist trap crappy t-shirt stores, of course
- Talks about how saying 'hey' to get someone's attention isn't being received well, says he will try hello, or excuse me...but as soon as he's in the post office - "Hey!". Hey is only ever good when you know someone Dave.
- Talks about 'beautiful...architecture buildings'
- Goes to Book of Kells exhibit, makes me wonder if he knew what it was ahead of time or if he just stumbled onto it and needed something to fill his time, but since all he every says about anything is that it was 'cool to see', my guess is he had no idea.
- Hangs out on a college campus again (trinity)...some habits never change
- His nervous giggle slowly evolves more and more towards crying as his no good rotten cold rainy day with no wifi continues on. The 'happy' expressions on his face look more and more forced as we know he is screaming internally.
