I decided to take a stroll down Grafton Street last night. I wanted to just chill out and grab a mocha from Butler's Chocolate Cafe and sit in the park at St. Stephen's Green. Instead, my relaxing night is pierced by hundreds of screaming school girls.
No one had changed clothes since school and they were racing around the streets in packs with knee high socks, long skirts, and plaid jumpers (sweaters). Every girl had a cell phone out and was either talking or texting and shrieking at each other. The tweens were all acting like feral animals, pushing people out of the way, jumping up and down, and generally going crazy.
A car with tinted windows passed down the street and they went even wilder, some even banging on the windows, before the car swerved out of the way and screeched down the street.
I tried questioning passerbys about what was going on, but I couldn't get an answer....until this morning when I read the B B C news. I put the article below....that's right's right, Bieber Fever has apparently hit Ireland.
Someone save us.
What's the attraction? I have no idea.
Justin Bieber fever hits Ireland
Justin Bieber fever has hit Ireland ahead of the teenage pop sensation's concerts in Dublin.
Some were reported to have run between shops screaming the Canadian musician's name.
And the teenager appeared to acknowledge their attentions, by posting on Twitter: "Relaxin in Dublin..Irish fans are no joke".
Bieber has 7.3 million followers on Twitter and more than 21 million friends on Facebook. His fans call themselves "Beliebers".
Fans in Northern Ireland have been campaigning on the internet over a number of months for a show in Belfast, but to no avail.
Bieber is due to play sold-out concerts at the O2 Arena in Dublin on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
Earlier this month, a lock of his hair sold for $40,668 (£25,024) in a charity sale on Ebay.
