Irish Cuisine
Introduction to Irish Food: During my week here, several locals I met before and after agreed that they have nothing to eat in Ireland at all, and said that they rarely cook traditional Irish food. I'll admit that Irish food is nothing special, nothing compared to Asian and Latin American cuisine, but it's...

Back in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, the weather forecast always said it was going to rain, but after a day out today, it was only a little drizzle. See all kinds of old churches, the streets are full of Christmas atmosphere, and many locals and tourists buy Christmas gifts. Afterwards, we passed the Guinness Storehouse. Guinness Stout is the world's No. 1…

Ring of Kerry, Killarney
Irish winters are now quite short during the day, with sunshine hours from eight to four. Arrived at Killarney last night, and it was also very festive. Signed up for a one-day tour to visit Ring of Kerry, it was raining when I left in the morning, and slowly the weather turned fine. Along the way, I passed many farms, flocks of cattle and sheep, tour guides…

Burren, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher
In the morning my uncle took me to Burren, Doolin and the famous Cliffs of Moher south of Galway. These few days are very lucky, the sun is shining, and the scenery is endless along the way. Passing by several schools on the way, I found that they arrived at the school quite late, around 9:00 in the morning and dismissed at 3:00 in the afternoon. I say beautiful...

Cannemara National Park
In addition to repairing and refitting cars, the uncle of the sofa owner is also interested in refitting classic cars. Outside the house, there are several refitted classic cars and small RVs in the garage, and several ordinary cars are parked in the yard. He and his daughter both love racing. He left his hometown at the age of 18, went to work as an apprentice in a depot in another city, and then began to teach himself electricity...

During the Thanksgiving holiday, I flew from San Francisco to Paris and transferred to Dublin, Ireland. When I arrived in Dublin, it was dark before five o'clock in the afternoon. I took another three-hour bus to Galway in the west, and I spent nearly a whole day on the road. Fortunately, the girl at the front desk of Galway Hostel recommended me to visit the Christmas market they just opened a week ago. …

Portugal - Gastronomy
When it comes to Portuguese food, the first thing that most people think of is the pastel/ pastéis de nata Portuguese egg tart. During my five days in Portugal, I would go to a different local egg tart shop to try one egg tart (sometimes more than one, haha). The Portuguese egg tarts I ate on the last day in Porto won. feel come...

Peneda-Gerês National Park
Unexpectedly, the penultimate day of the trip to Spain and Portugal became the biggest highlight of the entire itinerary. Due to the high unknown coefficient, it experienced the ups and downs without risk. Everything has to start with the high school principal in the San Francisco Bay Area that I met the day before yesterday. He had just gone hiking in Peneda-Gerês, the only national park in Portugal, and showed me pictures,…

Porto
When I woke up in the morning, I received a lot of messages from my friends, all about the impact of the new crown virus. Trump just announced that travelers from Europe will be banned from entering the United States for 30 days starting on the 13th. I am worried that I will not be able to go back. I will check the specific policy right away. Fortunately, this policy does not cover US citizens and permanent residents returning to the United States from Europe. I went to the Youth Hostel before I even came to wash up…

lisbon
It was very late to return to Lisbon from Sintra last night. The first impression of Lisbon is that it is a mountain city, which is called the city of the seven hills. Wherever you go, it's basically an endless uphill and downhill run, like San Francisco. Just wandering around the city this morning, starting with Praça do…
