Thanks for the comments. We feel so loved in Canada...
Well, we're not moving out after all. The water is fixed (but still no hot water), but we got a microwave and a fridge, and the noise in the bar stops after closing time. I'm feeling much better now. All we need now is a job. So far, not much luck with the job department. We're still searching.
Some differences between the Irish English and the North American English
- Lineups are called Queues
- Fries are called Chips
- Chips are called Crisps
- the time of Six thirty is called Half Six
Some other differences
- There's always people lining up for the bank machine
- Buses have schedules but they are NEVER followed, whatsoever
- Stores closes WAY TOO EARLY- What service in the restaurant? You will not get North American service here...
- Some stores start to refuse people into their stores 15 mins. before they close
- Many individual shops have their door locked and you must buzz to get into the store
- To catch the bus, you have to stick your arm out if you want the bus driver to stop for you

It's nice to hear that you're finally settling into your new home despite the other outside factors.
I kinda like that half-six you mentioned. Pretty neat.
Teehee curious, what time do they close in Dublin? For the longest time Andre had issues with places closing down at 4PM.
So how are you finding Irish culture... interesting? I'd love to see some pictures sometime, another friend of mine was in Dublin last year also doing SWAP.
Aha! An email was sent out a while ago asking what kind of crisp you liked. We assumed they must mean chips, and it seems we're right! yay!
Glad to hear that everything is getting better for you! Wait, so the bar noise stops after closing? I'm curious as to when it closes too! I know they close around 3 am here...
Ah, no ketchup chips can be found here.
The bar closes later on Friday and Saturday at 1-2 am. On other days, they start to close at midnight.
