One of the coolest features of Cork city is the presence of the English Market in the centre of the flat of the city.
It’s a magical little piece of old world shopping. Stalls crammed next to each other in a quaintly architectured (can you say that?) building in the middle of Cork. Prices are good [...]

I’ll be doing my best to keep the blog up on the road. Unlike a few years ago, internet cafes are quite common in Ireland now. I’m pretty stoked about the trip, actually. The primary reason for my visit is to interview the brewers [...]
