I have been to many mountains near Alicante. First time I went to see Maigmo mountain with one of my room partners.

I got a chance to visit Dublin in Aug. 2005 when I was invited to give a talk there.

I am studying at University College Dublin, Ireland. Its the biggest and one of the top most universities in Ireland with more than 20000 students. I have liked the study environment a lot. They have a very good student help desk. First time I saw a student help desk which really helps students. It's quite big in terms of area too. It might take more than 30 minutes to walk from one corner to another. I have really enjoyed myself a lot while studying here.

This lake is very near to my place where I stay. Not a very famous place but still I liked it.

It was around 2 km. walk and we got tired a bit and then we decided to go for ice creams and there are a few open guarden restaurants near by where we had ice cream and cold drink.
