Zenzero's World: July 2010

Zenzero gets interviewed in The Sunday Times of Malta

Today is a very important day for Zenzero. His travels have started to receive so much recognition, that the Sunday Times of Malta found it fit to carry out an interview with him about his travels and his paranoia of being nibbled on. The article "Travelling in good taste" is a full page spread none the less! If you can pick up a copy, make sure you do! To the right is a high res scan of the page. To see a photo of the interview in print click here. Being published in the "Travel Leisure and Food" section of the The Sunday Times on 25th July 2010, also proved to be the blog's busiest day, with hundreds of hits. Thank you everybody!

Guinness, A Taste of Ireland

The Guinness brewery was set up in 1759 in St. James's Gate. This brew had resulted in a considerable economic impact for the city. For much time since its foundation, the Guinness brewery was the largest employer in the city. Guinness is surely a major part of Irish culture, so Zenzero couldn't resist not visiting the Guinness Factory, and trying a pint or two himself. Yumm!

Dublin: Ireland's Fair City

He might not have the luck of the Irish, but he is lucky enough to get to visit the Irish Capital: Dublin. The Greeks had their first recorded settlement in the area which the they called Eblana Civitas. Later on, a settlement called Dubh Linn started emerging and the town was established by the Norse in about 841. Ultimately it was taken over by the Celts until the British launched the conquest of Ireland. Today it acts as Zenzero's travel destination.

Among the many landmarks, Zenzero also visited Dublina, Trinity College, Saint Patrick's Church, Sweet Molly Malone, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and later on, the Guinness factory.
