Some More Pics in Athlone

Note :
These Pics are taken with the mobile Sony Ericsson 75oi

Bought a Mobile

Atlast after one and half years , i bought a mobile phone because of the need to have in touch with my family.This was my second mobile phone , before one and half years i was using nokia 1100 a very basic model.Thats was serving my needs more than nothing.Now i bought a sony ericsson k750i model which is medium range phone for £159 s with £75 talk time so 159-75=84, total cost is £84(Rs.,4700) which was a good deal.

Accommodation Athlone

Since my colleagues were there in Athlone , i already booked for the double bed room apartment which costs a monthly rental of £700(around Rs.40,000).
It was a very good apartment with heaters , electric stoves, washing machine, Microwave ovens,bed,and bath tubs.Hmmm good balcony too have a very good view.
Still Costly when compared to my Home land (India).
All the Entrances in the apartment are digitally secured, to access the entraces we have to key in the access codes. that was quite amazing for me.

My Travel to Ireland

Flight was about 02:20 am at bangalore India, thats was a Air France Flight,i was accompanied by my family till aiport(Bangalore),my lovely son was also there , i checked in the airport around 11:00 clock on 2 nd Feb 2007,Since this was my first flight travel , a bit excited. The flight was from bangalore to Paris, and from i have a transit flight to dublin. Paris Airport was really good , it was very big , since i boared in bangalore i could feel the difference.i got the window seats in the flights , expected by the first time travels so as me ! I was roaming around in paris airport , since the transit flight was a bit delayed, so i got some 45 mins gap to roam around the paris airport.Then atlast the City Jet arrived , we boarded at 10:50 am on 3 rd Feb 2007, Here too the window seat !!! , it was a nice journey..... Got down at Dublin , Searching for my baggage , since there was a quite reasonable queue in the immigration office , i got my baggage at last...then searching for Money exchange stall, there i exchanged some traveller's chequeue to euros., With that i came out of Dublin Airport there i got a taxi to athlone it is around 125 kms , it took around around 2 hours , he charged me around 220 euros (Rs 12,500) , i paid and got down at Ardri Apartment , which is near KFC, ...... ---Venkateswaran Ponnusamy
