Ireland was not among my destinations to spend a week, to learn English nor to live for two years. Dublin was really my last option at the time I decided to spend sometime abroad. My choice was made considering the easiest country to get in not the best to be honest. I got here end of September and wow "can this country get colder" I thought, maybe not...maybe yes (100 times yes). Apart from feeling alone and struggling to keep up the good sense of humour in a cold and dark country (I am not criticizing, just pointing out a fact), I am so far very pleased with my experience in Ireland and I've learned a beautiful lesson, If I may say, home is where you live and where you are welcome. I see now that it's not about choosing the best but choosing the right that really matters. I hope I can bring with me the luck of the Irish wherever I go and I can not thank enough this country for all the great times I had here. (maybe to be continued)

Luck of the Irish

Também nao gosto de viver em lugares frios e escuros.Onde morava antes que era quase no Canadá era sempre assim.Misturava o frio que vinha do Canada com a chuva e escuridao de Washington.Mas a gente aprende depois de morar em lugares assim a procurar ver o positivo em todas as coisas, ou seja , sempre.Gostei desse post.
