Crossing Waters, Crossing Cultures
Galway All The Way!
Friday, June 5, 2009
Day 8, HUAT AH.

There were a couple of really awesome things we had to do today. Remember we were interview by Galway Independent yesterday? Well, today we got TWO more interviews AND a radio interview. So funnnn.

We went down to the boat village area looking for the radio station. Turns out that the radio station was actually a mobile one - a bus! We never expected that the bus we passed by all the time would be a broadcasting bus. So Colm, Vani and I got into the bus to be interviewed by a Galway Bay FM deejay. It was really cool. Back in Singapore, I've never been in the papers, let alone on a radio broadcast. Super exciting stuff I'm telling you! :D But anyway, having to do a radio interview - and in a bus, is quite nerve wrecking because it's live and you have to be really careful about what you say. No room for mistakes because you can't take back your words. But everything went smoothly for us and before we knew it, we were out in the sunshine once more.

Down to the media center once again for two more interviews: One by the Hong Kong Tatler (OMG TATLER) and another by Galway Advertiser. Feels like we're some kind of Asian superstars ahaha.

But all this "fame" is gonna come to an end soon because TOMORROW WE'RE GETTING ON LORD RANK and this will probably be the last post you'll read from us until a week or so later. So now, what we're gonna do is pack up everything in the apartment and get our luggage ready to be sent to Dublin.

Our luggage has to be sent over because Lord Rank will definitely not have any room to store our HUGE HUGE bags. Gotta pack small bags to go onboard. But how are we going to survive? No internet, cold weather, motion sickness. Just some of the many obstacles we will most likely face on Lord Rank.

And so, we spent a last night out enjoying the festivities in the village one last time before we officially board Lord Rank.

Hold onto your seats for the next one week as we set off onto Lord Rank. See you in a week!
