This blog is open to any and all who wish to hear all my ramblings about my adventures in moving to Ireland. I will be gone from September to mid-December, then if all is going well, I'll head back until sometime in the spring or summer. Anyways, I've enabled it so that people without blogger accounts can post comments, so please do! Once I move this blog will be my connection to everyone back home (although I'm sure I'll still be keeping up with everyone via facebook =D) Anyways, you can start at the beginning by clicking here then scrolling down to the bottom of each post and hitting newer post until your all caught up. After that, you can keep track via the list of blogs under each months heading on the left side. So enjoy!!!

Canada vs Ireland

Things I miss about Canada...
1. Not having to remember to turn an outlet on before I use it.

2. The lack of roundabouts, and how long they take to cross for a pedestrian.

3. Little Caesars crazy bread. Along with Wendys, Harveys and more.

4. Appliances working, no fiddling required.

5. A bedroom door that shuts all the way. Or... having the entire basement to myself most of the time.

6. The cloths and books that I left behind.

7. Not having to download all of my tv. We seriously don't have a TV here.

8. Molllyyyyy (and the rest of my family, of course). + Friends.

Things I love about Ireland...
1. Being able to walk down your street and see horse drawn cart things on the road along with traffic.

2. Flowers still blooming at this time of year.

3. SuperMacs... Being able to go into one building and get a burger, chicken, a hot dog, a sub or pizza at 3am.

4. The guys here actually dance at the clubs, rather than just standing around the dance floor watching all the girls like creeps.

5. The random dogs that just wander around. Most are pretty friendly, but one bit Liv after she stopped rubbing its tummy.

6. My roomates.

7. Galway... It really has a small town kind of feel to it, despite being the third largest city in this country. Everything you need in the city center is within a 15 minute walk of each other and now, walking through the city center I am almost garenteed to see someone I know.

8. Can't believe I forgot to mention this one for so long... The chocolate! I am not a huge chocolate eater at home but here. Liv and I basically require chocolate as part of our diet every day. It's just soooo good. Fingers, Twirl bars, Flakes, buttons... Mmmm.
