*Us in the bus*
First of all, the cityscape is very different from Malaysia's. No highrise condominium nor highrise apartment. Most of their office and apartment buildings are only a few storeys high and the streets tend to be dotted with houses older than my great grandparents.
The Millenium Spire, as it's named, is a contemporary monument replacing the Nelson's Pillar monument. However, it came 3 years too late: construction only completed in 2003. Hehe...
No bangla, indonesian, philipines in the streets (got la..little bit la) but all caucasian.
*Avril Lavenge*
Secondly, I saw lots of "Avril lavenge" or "Pink" in the street. I guess they cant live without eye liner. They have piercing and tattoo all over their body. Oh..and their hair colour..whatever colour u can think of..pink, purple, blue, green..etc. Don't be shock when u see a redhead waitress, or a receptionist with piercing at her lip, her nose, her eyebrow and tatto on her neck. I'm doubtful if similar outlooks would ever get a job in M'sia! hm... probably yes, job description: unemployed.
Thirdly, in fact I really respect the street entertainers here in Dublin. At least they know how to use their so-called talent to make their income, instead of sheer begging or stealing or robbing.
An street entertainer, he is trying so hard to impersonate the James Joyce statue nearby. Are you able to guess which is human?

A beggar. Oops... An artist painting on the paveway and hoping a couple of Euro in return from appreciative passer-bys.

Harp player by a busy downtown street, never got a chance to witness this in KL.

Golden Angel! She is a human... If you are generous enough to throw some money into her box, she would become alive waving her magic wand above your head and, "may your wish come true!"

I guess she's performing some sort of traditional dance. Anyhow, all I know is the guys there are only admiring her protruded nipples. hoho... A guy even shouted, "strip! strip!"
I think as long as you are daring, you could earn a living here, at least as a street entertainer. Hehe...

*The Bad Ass Cafe*
Fourth, weird name!
Why in the world does the owner name his/her cafe "The Bad Ass Cafe!" I'm curious. Are they "selling ass?" Or even worst, BAD ass! Let me guess, maybe they have "Ass of the day" in the menu. haha...

*Gay and Lesbian section in bookstore*
Fitfh, they even have a Gay and Lesbian section in the bookstore. Cool!
Now, do u have cultural shock yet? No right..me neither! I expect to see more bizzare and strange things in years to come.
However I'm really shock with this...
The prettiest I ever saw...

*The prettiest ever Stewardess I saw in Irish airline, Aer Lingus*
