Divide your age by 2 and tell us what you were doing

I was starting secondary school

The summer I went to Prague. The country had only just become the Czech Republic. Me and my then fiancee had one guide book - the rough guide to Prague. I remember there were no other guide books or phrase books in Easons before we went. No direct flights from Dublin either. Because we were skint we went the cheap route..... by bus. There was actually a bus you could get from London to Prague (obviously including ferry). Awful way to travel, but it was about £50 return each.
It was a strange holiday. There was little or no tourism in Prague - and nobody over the age of 18 spoke any english. The phrase book at the back of the guide book was useless. Everything was written everywhere in their language - we didn't eat in any restaurant because we'd no idea what was on the menu. And everyone was so poor. We had very little money at all, but they had way less. Different times.

Being lectured constantly by teachers and parents that next summers junior cert was the biggest most important thing ever.

Starting fifth class in primary school. The puberty fairy had hit me over the head over the summer, so ended up wearing a jumper two sizes bigger because I was so self conscious. Got bullied fairly badly that year, actually...although that was every year.
