My Cork Board Filled with Places I went as well as Letters |
First off here are some more random observations that I made:
1. I love the smell of peat.
2. College is free in Ireland, but you’re accepted based only on a test score.
3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not a thing here.
4. Professors definitely occasionally give lengths in terms of miles.
5. A lot of people use braces here instead of crutches.
6. There are a lot of guide dogs here.
7. Frosted Flakes are called Frosties.
8. They have escalator ramps.
9. There are roundabouts everywhere.
10. There is a certain shade of red hair dye that is very popular.
My final night in Ireland was split between a delicious home cooked meal with family friends and watching things with my friends. It was a great way to spend my last night. Travelling back was a bit hectic as I left at 4:00am and my first flight was delayed, but coming home was a great feeling.
I think there are many things that I will miss about Ireland including its amazing natural beauty, my wonderful friends (whom I hope to stay in touch with), and the amazing connection to its history that Ireland has. I truly hope that one day I find my way back to the Emerald Isle.
