1 second after the shimpan says "hajime" for the Taisho-sen.

After 45-mins of godo keiko we get recharged at the second dojo - here
at Abbotale House (sp?).
Winners are awarded with Jameson Irish Whiskey (!)
My other goal of this trip is to taste the LARGE range of alcoholic
drinks available in Ireland. We found out that the Swedish Cider (bottom
- far left shelf) with pear favour is highly addictive, and the Double
Chocolate Stout has cheated my money... grr.
