This is one of the best commercials I have ever seen. It seems so simple...but observe the colours, the gestures, the music, the lyrics, and overall the emotion. It is an artful study of psychology...and all to advertise chocolate. How sublimely instinctual!

Dublin

I was thinking to begin my trip to Ireland with a literary journey following the steps of Beckett around Dublin, but in the end we went to Temple Bar, drunk a pint and have a dinner. Then, the next day in the morning, we went to Guinness Factory and walk around the city until we take the train to Limerick

Here's something we did in class. May the force be with you.
