Adapter

So I walked by myself to Grafton Street this morning in search of an adapter for my laptop. I managed to find a "chemist," where the lady from the Hostel told me that I should be able to find one. I walked my way in and asked the woman in the pharmacy for a US-Ireland Adapter. She gave me one and said that it would be 8euro. So I gladly handed over the money for her and she gave me the plug in return.

On my way back I saw a guy carving a dog out of sand, but that's another story.

So I get back to the hostel, only about a 5 minute walk, and grab my laptop and all the cables. I eagerly tear into the adapter packaging and attempt to fit my plug in. I tried pushing it and wiggling it and to no avail. Frustrated, I brought it all back downstairs to have the lady at the front desk try it out. She could not do it either. Damnit, I thought to myself. So I asked her what I could do and she said she would call her other hostel and see if they had any different ones that might fit. Turns out that the cheaper square one fit just fine. So now I have that one on loan from the hostel. There is a new one coming for me in the morning and I get a 3euro refund because I paid more from the pharmacy than I would have from the other hostel. SWEET!

Look out lunch, here I come!
