In a month time, the annual Eurovision Song Contest will take place in the Russian capital Moscow. Irish ambassadors are singer Sinéad Mulvey & Black Daisy. They will perform their song "Et Cetera" (a girlie-pseudo-rock song) and their are set to pass the new second semi-final (a new rule) to qualify for the final on Saturday, May 16, 2009. However, this song has a catchy chorus and chances are actually not that bad. The German participators are called Alex Swings Oscar Sings! and their title "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang", which is actually an irrelevant Swing Euro Dance - whatever song . Luckily, Germany is already qualified as part of the "big four". In einem Monat findet der jährliche Eurovison Song Contest in der russischen Hauptstadt Moskau statt.

We are just back from County Donegal and what should we say? It was simply amazing. The landscape is breathtaking - mountains, beaches, sheep's and the northerly point of Ireland...Donegal has it all. We got the feeling that the time stood still. This is Ireland! Photos are up, videos still to come. Wir sind grad aus der Grafschaft Donegal zurückgekehrt. Was sollen wir sagen? Es war einfach unglaublich. Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend - Berge, Strände, Schafe und den nördlichsten Punkt Irlands...Donegal hat das alles. Wir haben das Gefühl bekommen, als würde die Zeit stehen bleiben. Das ist Irland! Fotos sind bereits online, Videos kommen noch.

As mentioned in our tour schedule, we traveled briefly to Amsterdam last weekend. We left Dublin quite early on Saturday morning and arrived safely in Shiphol airport ~1hr later. We were quite impressed by the superb organization at the airport of such grand size. Upon arrival, we took a train, then a taxi to our hotel. However, it was raining when we got to the hotel, which also happened to be under construction, hence our first impression wasn't quite exciting. We left our luggage at the hotel and traveled towards the city center, where we had breakfast. Luckily, the grey clouds improved and got clearer in the afternoon. Since Amsterdam has minimum monuments, we spent the majority of the time walking through the small streets with canals and bikes everywhere. Due to the large crowd of drunk Scotts and Dutch football fans, we realised that Netherlands was playing a football match against Scottland, which we watched during dinner in one of the restaurants in town in the vicinity of...
