Picture: Paris from a plane

Taken on a plan ride in transit to Toulouse.  From Toulouse I would have taken a train to the small village of Soreze, but I was never able to find the train.  Instead I had about a €250 cab ride to my destination. It was the most enjoyable €250 cab ride of all time.  The…… Continue reading Picture: Paris from a plane

Two Irish men

Taken by my father on a trip to the fatherland in the 1980s.  This stunning pictures captures a life that is slowly fading away in Ireland.  A journal and more pictures from the trip can be found here.

Personal: The time my Ma and Dad went to Ireland (circa 1980)

My Ma just showed me the journal that she kept along the ride.  Notice as well some of the great pictures.  My favourite is the one of the two Irish men with the bicycle.  Interestingly, my parents visited Trinity College Dublin (where I now teach and research).  One of the pictures is where I often…… Continue reading Personal: The time my Ma and Dad went to Ireland (circa 1980)

The intellectual haven

I’m at home, relaxing, with all my books, surrounded by so much potential knowledge that I’m really not even sure where to begin.  Overwhelming at times, as you could imagine.

Pictures of TCD JPR Vol. XI launch

This was an outstanding event and, according to many, the best launch of the Journal of Postgraduate Research (JPR) to date (no doubt the cover was the best ever). Many thanks to our panel members, especially Senator David Norris, for lighting up the audience with his wit and charm.  I also can’t forget to congratulate our…… Continue reading Pictures of TCD JPR Vol. XI launch

Day trip to Dún Laoghaire

Mel and I decided to take a day trip to Dún Laoghaire, partly because we wanted to, but also because our buddy Robbie Fry (great photographer) had to give me a CD of pictures from an event last week.  Will blog about that soon. Mel had been to Dún Laoghaire, but this was my first time.  I…… Continue reading Day trip to Dún Laoghaire

Homemade pizza

One of my favourite aspects of Dublin is the evening time in spring and summer, when the sun is still out at 9:30, even 10:00, where I can enjoy the European ‘beer garden’ atmosphere at my home in the Liberties.  On this occasion, Melony and I decided to try something new – some homemade pizza, of course…… Continue reading Homemade pizza

Photo-journal documenting trip to Athens and Santorini

I’ve done my fair share of traveling since graduating from college in 2007, from researching around the U.S. for one year with Ambassador Ahmed, to my own personal adventures throughout Europe and eastern Asia.  I’ve been to some amazing places, from the Château de Padiès in Southern France, to the hills of Honolulu, to the famous…… Continue reading Photo-journal documenting trip to Athens and Santorini

Sunset in Oia

Oia is a small village on the northern tip of Santorini island.  It’s a famous spot for its sunset.  Indeed, that was clear when the people around me started applauding when the sun was gone.
