8.10 Killarney -> Cork

Since my last time with hitchhiking was so succesful, I decided to do it once again. Got some cardboard from hostel reception and I was on my way to Cork....or so I thought. After two hours wait I decided to take the bus. During that time had made a couple of mistakes. The first one was that I was in a place where cars werent allowed to stop. I understood that after a couple of nice hand gestures and moved along. The second mistake was of course trying to get a ride along a road that went to completely wrong city. Fortunately there was a kind person who told me that and I only wasted a couple of minutes. The third one wasnt really a mistake but when it started raining a busride started to sound like a really good idea. I have to tell you that I was warned that it might not be easy to get a lift...that man knew what he was talking about.
ps.the bus had this little camera shooting the cargodoors so that you could see from inside if somebody tried to steal your underwear from your backpack. Nice!

Cork:
That day I met Super Mario. No, hes real name is not Super Mario but since he is from Italy and kind of reminded me of Super Mario I started calling him by that name. And that one is really easy to remember too! =)
We decided to heat the town and do Cork properly and as the hostel we were staying had a bar downstair we soon had a nice posse to go out with. There was a couple of Aussies, Super Mario, me, two Austrians and two girls from I dont remember where...
We had our pubrawl around the city and in one pub Mr Austria had this nice idea of doing Sambucca shots! Well im into that kind of stuff, easily! Mr Austria kept asking for some cinnemon from the barmaid but they didnt have it so he had to do his trick with black pepper. We were all like question marks about what was to happen. Mr Austria gets his pepper and tries to burn it above the candle. Pepper does burn nicely btw. We take our shots and then Mr Austria shows his trick. He shoots the shot and then uses a lighter to ignite the Sambucca in his mouth. A nice blue flame flickers in his mouth and as he throws some pepper its like a miniature flamethrower. We are all like *whoooooaaaaaah*  A minute after this Mr Austria leaves for the toilette. Me and Ms Australia (whom I almost scored with...almost) looked to eachother and talked about if he was gonna throw that days menu to the bathroom since he was quite drunk. When he came back from the toilette we asked that what happened. "I threw some black pepper to my eyes!" he replied. Muahahhaaaa
