Ireland: The Picture of Dorian Gray


We were invited to watch an Irish play last Thurday (8/11/12) at Abbey's Theatre and that was why we were at Dublin again. The title of the play is The Picture of dorian Gray. Its about this guy who sold his soul to the devils. He agreed to do all the bad things for the devils and in return, the devils will make him look young forever. For every bad deed he commits, it will be reflected on his portrait where the image of him on the portrait will become uglier. But years later, he felt guilty and realised that he couldn't live with that on his conscience. Then he turned over a new leaf and got back his old and ugly face.

Sadly, i couldn't take any picture in the theatre as it is illegal.




This trip was actually for the Erasmus students whereby it is compulsory for them to go as it is part of their course module. And examination questions will be asked in relation to the trip content. Prof. Harman brought us around Dublin and shared with us some information regarding the history of Ireland.


We went to The Four Courts. Cameras are not allowed too. If photos are taken, you will be jailed. We actually have to go through an airport-like inspection system before entering the court. It is a supreme court that deals with disputes between people instead of crimes.


I felt like I was going on an excursion...


One of the places he brought us to was Dublin Trinity College. He said that he graduated from the college. His son and daughter were also from there. And he jokingly said that he hopes that his grandson will also enter the same college though it is too early as he is only two.

 The lady asked me to guess the weight of the yoghurt. And if i am able to guess correctly, I will get it for free. Range given is 100g - 200g. I guessed 126g.
The answer revealed to be 130g. SO CLOSE!


Japanese Food! I think it is the substitute of Chinese food.
