Where is Wei?
Where is Wei was created to document a year-long trip around the world.
And it all starts at Dublin, Ireland by way of Kansas City, Missouri.
From there the plan is to head east and hit every continent. Well eventually I suppose, for now Wei has gone west and at the last report is in Galway - which he has realised is not pronounced the way Americans tend to pronounce it.
In Galway Wei had a spot of trouble getting a request played by a “two guitar cover band” in the King’s Head:
Although obviously lacking as an actual cover band they did play some Irish songs that got the entire crowd singing. We met a group of Scots at the bar. He asked asked where we were from and misheard Kansas as Canada. “Oh Canada! Lets get a shot” As the bartender was pouring he asked which part of Canada, and when he realized it was Kansas he joked “Oh, the US no shots for you”. We ended up dancing and singing Irish songs till the pub closed with that group Scots.
Have a read and follow wherever Wei is. Before Galway he has already spent time in Dingle, where Wei and his friends Nathan and Gene, explored the peninsula on rented bicycles and in Blarney, where Gene learned not to touch the nettles, and all after a few days in Dublin.
I don’t mean to be picky but it is the first time I’ve ever heard Galway described as being on the South Western coast, and note also that the Bus Éireann mascot is a Red Setter, not a Golden Retriever.
