While everyone speaks English, the Irish also speak Irish! Many locals have told me that while it's taught in schools, not many people actually really speak it. However, the street signs are in Irish!
As part of the European Union, Ireland uses euros. However, not many places take physical money anymore!
A bottle of "still water" cost about 2.80 euros. That's why it's handy to have your own water bottle! My Owala has gotten me all through college so far.
My flatmate and I cooked these giant chicken quesadillas with guacamole that were delicious. I also made my own salsa verde, though it didn't taste the same as what my mom makes. I'll try different peppers next time!
I've been really into Haley Blais' Wisecrack and Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas. It's been nice for this dreary weather because it really matches the mood.
