Hello there! Welcome to my study abroad blog! Wish that you guys could follow my experiences in Ireland. :)
Enjoy!
Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, especially traveling abroad. Since my parents and I moved to the U.S., I convinced myself that going to other different countries is a very promising opportunity. Therefore, I have always tried to go abroad since my freshman year in college (The University of Virginia's College at Wise.) My first choice was England, but my International abroad professor; Prof. Wolney told me that "studying abroad in England is expensive, why don't you try studying abroad in Finland?" I honestly never really thought of studying there, but I told myself why not! so I applied, however before I even finished applying to go study in Finland, Prof. Wolney told me that I could not go due to a lack of GPA requirement. So...my studying abroad was postponed...I never really hoped anymore...until last semester, I saw a poster of Ireland Study Abroad and I also received an interest meeting email. That dream of studying abroad came back again.
I never really had been to Europe, except a day transit travel in Frankfurt, Germany. This Ireland trip is going awesome so far, I am having the best time of life. My first night in Dublin was GREAT, I went out to eat with the girls (Rachel, Brittany, Shaina, Lennie, and Rebecca) at the Fish and Chips restaurant. It was a bit strange because we got served by a Chinese waitress at that restaurant in Dublin, IRL! Diversity is everywhere, I see :)! After that, we wanted to go to a Temple Bar, since we didn't find the real temple bar just yet, we all went to Oliver St. John Gogarty's Bar in the Temple Bar area. We met crazy British dudes, but they were also fun and too friendly! I drank few drinks with the girls and just had fun until I saw this tall guy who just looked like my European friend, I thought that was very strange!!!!! anyways, we also encountered a crazy pedophile British man who FLASHED his goods at the bar to us! EW! that just pretty much ended my night.
I hope I can meet Westlife when I am back in Dublin!!! which is in 3 days, lol!
