Touring Tipperary, Ireland (or part of it)

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 02:07:42 -0400

I spent a few most enjoyable days in County Tipperary in June . Tipperary is divided into Tipperary North where the local car registration is TN and Tipperary South where the car registration is TS. It is in the province of Munster and has good road and rail connections from Dublin. Approx under hours drive from Dublin. The county is in the midlands and bordered by the counties of Waterford in the south, Kilkenny, Laois and Offaly to the east, Galway to the north and Cork, Limerick and Clare to the west. As my wife was participating in a four-day course in at the Tipperary Institute in Thurles in north Tipperary we needed to find accommodation that accepted dogs. There are several hotels in Ireland that are 'pet friendly', but from researching this on the Internet, the majority appear to be in the west of Ireland. We stayed at one of these last June at Renvyle in Connemara. In the end I found Ashleypark House, situated near Nenagh via a website that listed B & B accommod...

What do you do when you don't know the language or customs?That's when your EQ, or Emotional Intelligence, comes in handy.On my recent tour to Russia, the people in large cities Moscow,Saint Petersburg knew English, but not in the small villagesYaroslavl, Uglich. I thought I'd pick up Russian quickly, but I didn't for severalreasons: .Jet Lag turns your thinking brain neocortex to mush.You can't 'picture' the words because the Russian alphabet isCyrillic; i.e., Catherine the Great's initial is 'E' because inRussian, it's Ecaterina. .Russian's not a 'Romance language'.The sounds and cadence aren't familiar. They have sounds thatdon't exist in English. .Russian people are courteous andquietly charming, but they're conscientious workers who stayfocused. They'd also rather improve their English than teach youRussian. .They're reserved in public so you don't hear a lot ofwords. When I said, 'Good morning' in Russian, I'd get back,'Good morning.'

In recent years people who have been involved in personal injury accidents have discovered that they can receive a lawsuit cash advance against the proceeds they ultimately receive from a personal injury accident settlement. For the person who is injured enough from an accident so as to be unable to work and earn a living, a lawsuit cash advance can provide a very timely financial solution to the cash flow problems the person may currently face.
