Have decided to get a bit of culture and stop being a stranger in my own country. By that I mean, taking time to go to the places that usually only tourists frequent. Last week it was the national gallery and this saturday it was the turn of christchurch cathedral , which I had heard so much about, but am ashamed to say even though I had passed it around a million times, had never gone into. It is ok accessibility wise, but there are always helpful people around, and even the dean helped me around to a side door to view the crypts.Its well worth a visit and it is an active place of worship, with daily services and visiting choirs.Making my way over to o'connell street, I was helped by 3 turks who had just come from an islamic conference. They were very nice and gave me a book and dvd on mohammed. I told them i'm not a fan of religion ( I think jesus, mohammed, buddha etc are all a pack of pushy brainwashing cunts, or maybe its their followers who do them such a disservice????) Just as I thought, its a huge list of do's and don 'ts that serve to illuminate AND indoctrinate.
