Hello everybody!
How is life in Spain, Europe or Latin America? I arrived last week on Tuesday (10th) in the evening. Sean (SK Dublin agent) was waiting for me in the International Airport and he brought to the family, in a Residential neighborhood in Palmerstown, in South Dublin. Everything is typical with those semidetached houses with its gardens.
The family is kind. They're a couple in their fifties with their two daughters, two sons and two dogs. They're normal people, but here people live very well (the second top life level after Luxemburg). And there are a lot of emigrants, overall from East Europe.
And I'm working in a Petrol Station as Fourcourt Attendand, so this is a boy for every kind of tasks. My companions of work are from several countries (Poland, Estonia, Pakistan, India, ... and of course, from Ireland) and two are from Spain too.
I have been twice in Dublin, doing purchases and going for a walk. I saw Trinity College, Thomas St, Grafton St, St Stephen Park, Christ Church, Four Courts, and anything else, but Dublin is not too big.
Well, the worst part of this adventure is, as you know, the food. The family give me the breakfast and the dinner. The breakfast is good but the dinner... I though that I liked all kind of food but...
That's all for the moment. I will write sooner.
Cheerio!

Pues hombre, que le vamos a hacer si la gastronomia irlandesa no da mucho mas de si...
Man, believe me, you will not get used to it. I remember returning to London from Madrid after a visit to my boyfriend's family and carrying so much embutidos that we had difficulties lifting the box into the luggage compartment of the plane :))
We discovered though that Tesco, Sainsbury's and the rest of the big supermarkets all sold quality Spanish food, however, the prices were absolutely ridiculous. But if you get desperate... at least you have somewhere to look for your fave snacks.
Best tip: when in Rome do as Romans do, that is: start getting used to the idea of eating meatpies, fries and sausages all the time and drinking shitloads of yummy Guinness every single day! :)) Yeeeeeeeah!
