Well it’s been almost three days since I arrived here in Dublin, and I must say I love the feeling of walking in this city. 

Of course there were a few things I had to learn about my apartment upon arrival. For instance, the heaters here are very different. Our heater is run by water and has to be set each day or we’ll have no heat when it gets exceptionally chilly outside. The first night was followed of course by a blown fuse that cut out most of our electricity, but luckily that all got sorted out right away. 

On the bright side, we got invited over to our Irish neighbors; A bunch of law students no more than a few years older than us. It was nice getting to connect with young Irish people so early on. They told us we could just walk on in if we ever saw them doing anything. Even with the initial shock of having to buy groceries and even pay for shopping carts and the electricity going out, I’d say the experience has been living up to my expectations. You really get caught up in the rush of Dublin from the get go.
