Friday Escape [Cork, Ireland]
Today i found out about a City named Cork. What a funny name LOL. In fact Cork is the 2nd largest city in Republic of Ireland. The city centre is located on an island in the River Lee that positively hums with life, catering for every taste.

Besides the modern development and infrastructure, Cork City is a place with wonderful buildings from the past such as the Red Abbey, the church tower of Shandon and the City Hall itself among others. Cork also is the home to Ireland’s longest building – the Victorian mental hospital which is now converted to residential used. I can’t help but wonder why the overly large building as a mental institution. The number of mentally challenged in Cork must be darn high. -_-”.

Another interesting fact. Cork is also known as “The Rebel County” or “The Rebel Cork” because of its reputation for rebelliousness going back to its support for English Pretender Perkin Warbeck in 1491. I guess the locals must still be very proud of this fact. How cool is that?

I’ve heard many negative things about this strange land. Little is known yet the stories i’ve heard about this country is i bit terrifying. Call me a gutless chicken, but all i know of this place is that the crime rate and inter-tribal violence is very high and people are desperate for money. It might not be true but i’m still a coward.
However, Papua New guinea is indeed the last frontier. Rich in culture and diversity, not to mention the incredible (the word incredible is really understated) beaches and crystal clear water, i might one day shed my chicken suit for a visit. It’s like another world of it’s own, forgotten and buried in today’s modernization.
