My Elbow Is So Tender And Swollen

Everything else is

... said Clara, and in many ways she was right. Look:

The photos were taken at the former innerstaedtischen docks. Four years ago, that was a very hopeful development area. Built in the meantime you have obviously kraefig move, but apparently no one likes. The Luas, Dublin's tram tracks, on a new line out there, there is a four-lane road tunnel to the highway and a three-year old station among all the new buildings. However, hardly any cars on the roads or pedestrians are on the road, hardly anyone is sitting in the tram and trains will run not more frequently than three years ago.
The second picture below with all that green is not, however, in the Docklands, but on the other end the inner city. Right next to Heuston Station are building, for which no tenant seem more related to. I myself am also touched by the effects of the recession: The company where I worked after my exchange year 2006/2007, four months, is closing in two weeks.
anticipated magnetic at the end of the old port facilities: the former Point Depot is now called, well, you see it, yes. From here, continue on the Quai Alexandra, where there are still correct port operations. When I was here for the first time, nor were the tracks of the port railway and it was impossible to tell whether there was operating. Which are now almost impossible to see, instead, you have the area around the Point tried upgrade with funny artwork. could As with almost all new Brueckenbauten you not resist that Oberzuege (meet here at all any static function?) in the form of the Gaelic harp: It does not take wonder that the brand-new bridge, despite financial crisis relatively representative precipitated , the emblem of Ireland, execute. no longer on the Connolly station, but the one shown above Point Depot in the docks is now end of this Luas Line. One might call the structural support, but useful Verkehrsfuehrung does not work: because most of trams as they now hold one of the two Hauptbahnhoefe, Heuston, but the other drive around in an arc 200 meters even though he has a bus stop. Who wants a station to the other must carry suitcases or so for the last 200 meters to Connolly Station to switch again. That business is now easy, by 9 clock in the morning tens of thousands of concert-goers to change trains from Heuston Station to get 02 Arena.
That's it for today. I am also moved again, to conclude with the picture from the window of my first room.
