guinness and green things

Well the last few days have been crazy. I've managed to move in and buy groceries and all that stuff and today I took on the city with a friend.  I even figured out how to take the bus but it's really expensive here with it being 1.50 euro to go one way. That really adds up when you think about it. But today we did the tourist thing and shopped on Grafton St., Henry St., and ate dinner in the Temple Bar district. I also had my first Guinness today (tasted just the same, sorry!). Its been colder than usual I guess (32 F) but it hasn't been too bad.  No snow like I hear Chicago had.  

Things are very different but also a like in some ways. However, I am getting used to it and I am even learning to look to the left before crossing the street. I wish I could get a bike here so I could get around quicker but the streets are so narrow and the drivers don't really pay attention to how close they are to one another. I'd probably die the second I tried so I'll just stick to my own two feet and the bus. 

But school starts tomorrow and I am going to a super bowl party tonight at 11. I'll let you all know how my first week goes and I hope I can understand what my teachers are saying. Wish me luck!

slainte! (cheers)
