Dublin has dropped out of the world’s top 20 most expensive cities due to falling rents and the weakness of the euro.

The Worldwide Cost of Living Survey (2009) found the average cost of renting a two-bed luxury apartment in Dublin was €1,300 a month, compared with €4,227 per month in Tokyo, the most expensive city.

A cup of coffee in Dublin costs €3 on average which is more than in London, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid or Vancouver, but less than New York where it costs $4.90 (€3.43).

Alas! Why are you now a crater in Temple Bar?

Trinity College, Dublin., as seen from the Nassau Street Gate. The big building in front is the Old Library, which contains the Book of Kells, which overlooks Fellow’s Square, which is the large green area, and Library Square, which is on the other side. The people milling around appear to be students.

In the last post, you may have seen a sign in the background. Seen on Richmond Villas, which Google says doesn’t exist, is this sign. For the Heartbreak Hotel.

Seems the walk to Rathmines has lots of wonderful graffiti. This was seen along Richmond Street South. Maser used to have this there instead.
