[1] Commencement
In Ireland they don't call it convocations or graduation. It's called Commencement. The term came to Dublin University through its founding scholars in the late 16th century. The term signifies a step from one level of responsibility to another in the disputation thus student being commenced.
It was a sunny day indeed. The ceremony was over in 1 hour and it was all conducted in Latin. The registrar will call up to 5 names to come up to the stage before the Chancellor and she will give out the certificate to them and says 'Congratulation' and something in Latin. Once they got down someone will give them a very big envelope to keep the certificate and also other significant documents along with it. The hall where the ceremony was conducted was quite small compared to Malaysia Universities. I guest all the building were the original buildings built 400 years ago.

After the commencement my brother had to go for Friday prayers behind the university. So I went exploring the city centre with 2 sisters who are my brother's friend. We went to Grafton Street. It was lovely. Oh yes, Clarks shoes is on sale. You can get 50% off which translate to RM150 per selected shoes. Got to get one of those. But that'll be later.
And then we went exploring Temple Bar, because one of us wanted to go to Hard Rock Cafe to look for t-shirts. My brother met us there and then we went to lunch at Medina, an Indian Muslim restaurant famous for its Briyani.

The river we passed over to get to Medina
The glorious food!!! Seriously when you're away from home, this will be the thing you'll savor.
After a day, we all went back home happy. My brother & I, stopped at Jervis to buy some groceries at Tesco. The we went home to Rialto on a tram. I'll upload all pictures later on. See you readers later.
