Pub Crawl

Last night the International Student Society hosted a pub crawl through Galway. I had a lot of fun. I was in Group 2 with people I had never met before. I made a few new friends including an Elementary Ed major from TCNJ and a girl from Germany who's in Ireland for the year. We had 5 pubs on our agenda, four of which I had never been to before. The night began early (in Irish terms) so the first pub was kind of dead. We all sat around a few tables talking and getting to know each other. The beer was cheap because the pubs had specials on for students so we were all pretty psyched about that.


This is part of our group waiting between our third and fourth pubs. We started out with a very large group but lost half of them at The Kings Head, our second stop of the night. With a smaller group it was a lot easier to talk to people and keep track of everyone as we walked around town.

We carried an egg around the whole night and had to get the bartender from each bar we visited to sign it. If the egg was still intact by the end of the night, we would get a prize. I was in charge of the egg for most of the night because my purse was deemed a very safe place for it. At our last stop, we had all our signatures and our egg was still whole, so that was good. I never heard anything about a prize, but I did leave the last pub pretty early because it was too crowded to move. That final stop though, was really cool. It was a basement bar and club called De Burgos and I bet it is a lot of fun when it is not packed with people.
