How awesome is that?
CASTLE!!!!!

Wow! what a place to work. It looks beautiful. Can I ask what he will be doing there?

I now officially hate your brother....what country is that in?

Judging by the flag on one of the pics, Ireland? Looks an awesome place to work, what exactly will he be doing there?

that is so beautiful...

Hes a chef, or chef in the making, he has to do work experience as part of his course & he managed to get in here. Its one of the best hotels in Ireland aparently (ive never stayed there $$$) Its pretty likely that theyll take him on when he gets his qualification.
Im sooooo happy for him.

CASTLE!

BASTARD.. and I thought staying in Alarcon in La Mancha was cool....

cool for him!!!

Oooh. . . sword fights on the walls at dawn. . . can I?! HUH HUH, CAN I?!?!

What's it called? Not that I could afford it, but it's fun to dream.

Lucky him...

The best I've ever done was stay in a castle for about a week. It was pretty cool; we slept on mattresses on the floor and it was cold (as there was no heating).

Anyway, AWESOME.

I want to stay in that castle. It looks so friggen sweet. I can just picture archers on the battlements shooting arrows at some enemy force...thats so cool.

i challenge you to a duel good sir

Ahhhh that's awesome. I've officially found the location of my wedding.

Heres a link to the website: http://www.dromoland.ie/

that's awesome. Tell your brother he's lucky.

Do they make ye olde castle fare for the guests?

Lots of meat, all roasted. Here comes the gout. :)

That is so cool. :D

I'm afraid not for me, however. The geek in me would probably come out all to easily if I worked in such a place. I'd probably get fired for messing around with all the stuff hanging around and speaking in "Olde English" all the time. :)

Oh man, that's a hot gig. This reminds me of my mom's friend who married this uber-rich guy and lives in a castle with him up in Northern California. My parents and I went to visit her about 5 years ago and took all these silly pictures of ourselves all over the place - my favorite is the one I took standing next to the armor in their entry way. :)

See if you can get him to take some pics of the inside...I'm sure we'd all love to see those!!

I am totally jealous. that is amazing. I hope the kitchen is a bit more modern though...

Wow! Nice place! I am sooooooo jealous! Apparently, there is a golf course next to the castle too!!!! *drool*

Anybody know what that comes out to in USD? I so want to go! :crazy:

For some reason I thought "Disneyworld" when I read the title. :hmm:

Cool! Nice job. (if you can get it)
He probably'll spend most of his time in the kitchen and not have time to sightsee much, unfortunately.

Thats gold!, comedy GOLD!
