Being there for only 30 hours has been far too short, it even looked as if we could have become productive during the hackathon.
The pedestrians of Dublin seem to ignore traffic lights completely. When I realized that I was the only one standing at a red traffic light for the fifth or sixth time in a row, I thought that my German education was showing more than I knew - you will probably find Germans waiting at a red traffic light in the middle of the night with no cars in an area of a square kilometer around them. To my defense I may add that the cars are all driving on the wrong side of the road in Ireland and I was afraid I was overlooking something.
People in Ireland must be rather short or being used to back-pain. The wash basin in my hotel was at the height of my knee and similar equipment was a lot lower than I'm used to as well. Sure, I'm rather tall at 1.96 m, but this was very unusual.
The automate in the gents restroom wasn't only selling condoms - which it probably does all over the world - but sweets as well. I don't think anybody would ever try to sell chocolate in a restroom in Germany.
