After 2000 KM

After 2000 Km arround Ireland I can say ...

For god sake, Is really dificult drive in the "wrong" side of the street. Ok after a while you start to get better, I could say after few days you get used to drive, but the problem is think in the side. Yes the side, the side which you have to turn in an acident, the side to change the gear, the side to look to your mirror even the side to put your hand on your girlfriend lap.

You still thinking in the normal side of the roads, the people in London walk on the rigth side of the sidewalk. But drive they still driving in the left. In the tub you have to leave the rigth side of the rolling stairs for faster people.
Although in Dublin you have to give up the right side. This is so strange.

Now I'm in krakow (poland) and I'm planing to stay here until Thu. when we leave to Budapest.

I'll give more information as soon as I get them.

cheers

St. Michans Church

St. Michans Church

Two days ago I went out without Julia, she wasn't felling well to go out that day. Because of that I walked around on my way to do my things, I went in one of the most amazing church I've ever seen. It's is an 11th century Hiberno-Viking church, the dull façade of St. Michan's hides a more exciting interior.

Deep in its vaults lie a number of bodies that have barely decomposed because of the dry atmosphere created by the church's magnesian limestone walls. The church is not allowed to open the coffins. Their wooden caskets, however, have cracked open. Revealing the preserved bodies, complete with skin and strands of hair. Among those thought to have been mummified in this way are the brothers Henry and John Sheares, leaders of the 1798 rebellion, who were executed that year, as well as Mr. Willian Rowan Hamilton who together with his family (who still can be bury in the church) is buried there There is also an organ (1724) on which Handel is said to have played. It is thought that the churchyard contains the unmarked grave of United Irishman Robert Emmet, leader of the abortive 1803 Rising.

Bram Stoker took your inspiration for writing Dracula (1897) inside the crypt seeing the bodies.
At the end of tour I could touch the oldest mummy there, is the one on the back. That mummy was one knight member of the order of the Knights Templars because was bury with his legs crossed at the age they were alive.

It was really amazing. I'll never wash my hands again.


St. Michans Church

A dois dias eu fui passear sem a Julia, ela não esta se sentindo bem pra sair. Por causa disso eu pude fazer as coisas do meu jeito passeei bastante onde eu queria ir e me deparei com um das mais impressionantes igrejas que eu já vi. É uma igreja do século 11 em seu estilo Viking antigo, e sua fachada esconde um interior bem interessante.

Embaixo da abóbada da igreja existem vários corpos que se decompuseram pouco devido a atmosfera criada pela magnésio das paredes de pdra calcaria que absorvem a umidade. A igreja não é permitida a abrir os caixões. Alguns caixões abrirão por acidente revelando corpos com pele e tranças de cabelos. Seguindo essa premissa devem estar mumificados também os irmãos Henry e John Sheares lideres da revolução de 1798 que foram executados nesse mesmo ano e o Mr. Willian Rowan Hamilton (da lei de haminlton da física) que junto com sua familia, que ainda pode ser enterrada lá, também estão enterrados lá. Dentro da igreja tem um órgão que dizem que Handel tocou e atras dela, no jardim, tem uma lápide sem marcas do unificador irlandês Robert Emmet , lider da revolução de 1803.

Bram Stoker tirou sua inspiração pra dracula dentro das criptas vendo os corpos. No final da visita eu pude tocar no numa das múmias, na mais velha delas, a mais no fundo da foto. Essa múmia acreditam que era um dos cavaleiros templários pois foi enterrada com as pernas cruzadas e na época em que eles eram ativos.

foi mesmo alucinante, eu não vou lavar mais minha mão de novo.

Brazilian Team

The Brazilian Team

This is the team which I play for. I've been playing in the team since I get in Ireland. We played many times against many teams. Each country have your team represented in that league.

The SARI (Sport Against Racism Ireland) Brian Kerr Intercontinental League was launched in Dalymount Park in January 2005 as part of SARI's integrating ethnic minorities programme through the medium of football. The idea for this league is to introduce minority groups to mainstream football leagues and encourage local and new community members to join together and create a level playing field for all in Ireland.

They are now in their second season and have 20 teams involved this year.

I'm playing to have some fun and get fit whereas I'm trying to introduce myself in some projects of social inclusion. One of my projects when I return to Brazil which I'll work for.

O Time Brasileiro

Esse é o time que eu jogo. Eu tenho jogado nele desde que eu cheguei na Irlanda. Nós jogamos varias vezes e contra vários times. Cada pais tem seu time representado nessa liga.

A SARI (Esporte Contra o Racismo na Irlanda) Brian Kerr Intercontinental League começou no Dalymount Park em janeiro de 2005 como parte de uma integração das minorias étnicas por meio do futebol. A idéia da liga é introduzir grupos minoritários (imigrantes por exemplo) nas ligas de futebol e encorajar locais e novos membros a se juntar e criar uma situação igualitária em toda a Irlanda.

Eles estão na segunda temporada com 20 times jogando.

Eu jogo lá pra tem um pouco de diversão e ficar em forma e porque eu estou tentando entrar em projetos de inclusão social. Coisa que eu vou começar a ajudar assim que eu chegar no brasil.
