DUBLIN
Today i will go to Madrid, Spain. But before that I go to Chester Beatty Library. It is a very interesting library. You can found the egytian papyrus version of the bible. It is very very precious to see the old manuscript being kept in such a good way. It may be only a small piece of paper, but when you try to read through, you will still recognised that it is the gospel according to John or Matthew or etc. They also introduced how people bind the book in the past and various way to publish a book. Very interesting library. Never missed it. I saw an advertisement in the bus. It brings gospel to everyone(though this may not be their goal to put this advertisement). Next, is Guiness's factory. The government signed a contract with them, give them a 1000 years leased hold, so Guiness owned a very big land and i found that the Guiness's symbol is a harp(which they say own buy a king in Ireland, now is displayed in The books of Kells), and the same harp is found on the euro coin, 10c. On the road, I saw a man writing something on the floor, their life is affected by recession, now life is really hard. Then, i tooked a bus from Lower Abbey Street to the airport. It tooks only 2.20 euro, very cheap. On the bus, i saw a trem pass by, i'm short of time, so it doesnt look nice, sorry, too rush. They have electrical train called trem which travel in the city, on the main road(just like the one in Latvia) to various stations, very convenient. Lastly is the view of Dublin i took on Ryanair. Spain, i'm coming!
