So, as most of you already know, I found a flat!!! It's literally a two minute walk from the Guinness Storehouse [which is where you would go for the tour of the Guinness brewery]. My flat is great; everything is brand new... we are the first tenants living here! All [3] of my flatmates are Brazilian and about 27. They're all really nice and helpful... thank God!!
It's only about a 20 minute walk for me to get to Temple Bar [comparable to the market in Ottawa but wayyyy better] , which is where I'm hoping to get a job in a pub..! Don't worry, I won't be walking home alone!!
I've been going out every night and loving it, of course!! Tonight is my first, and much needed, night in. I'm so tired! I think I'm still a bit jet-lagged plus I'm pretty sure the partying every night adds to it [haha]. Last night we [Jess, Holly, and two Irish guys that Holly knows] went to a pub called Whalen's. It's a pretty popular pub here, and apparently there's a scene from the movie P.S. I Love You that was filmed there. One of the guys told us that, but he swears he only knew because two American girls told him [yeah right!]. I did take some photos but I haven't uploaded them yet...
We recently discovered that it's really funny to get Irish people to say "Thirty-three and the third". If you ever get the chance, ask an Irishman to say it and you'll see what I mean!!
Lots of foreigners here. Aussies, Kiwis, Spanish, French, etc. It's cool to meet people from all around the world and hear all the accents and sayings they have. And obviously everyone loves Canadians!!
Okay, well it's 12:30am here [they would actually say "half twelve" which is kind of confusing], and it's time for me to go to bed!
Cheers from Dublin!
xo.

Hi Lisa, glas that you found a nice flat, and helpful housemates. do you have a tv in your flat? if so, do you have access to your favourite shows (for the rare nights that you are home?)
everything is the same here, except that I miss you.
