Going to Ireland for one week was one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life. The experiences I had in Ireland were eye opening things and exciting. The culture was different and I was learning something new every day. The people were very friendly and I was not afraid to ask them questions or directions. I have enjoyed every single day I was in Ireland and it’s a place go to and never get bored of. While I was in Ireland, I took some notes on some things I found interesting and experienced. Here they are!! > Street signs – The street signs in Ireland, Dublin (our home base) were on the sides of buildings unlike the U.S streets signs. Names of the streets changed without having to turn into others streets. My friends and I struggled with the map our first day in Ireland. > Cliffs of Moher – Located at the southern edge of Burren region in County Clare, Ireland were the Cliffs of Moher. This was one greatest memory I will be holding on to from Ireland. It was breathtaking and unreal. I kept on saying “oh my god” while going through the experience. I will highly be recommending anyone who is going to Ireland to go see it. > St. Stephen’s Green – This was a city Centre public park and I have never seen such an amazing public park. There were many parents with their kids having fun. There were new ideas that were put on the park. For example, they had a swing where you can not only sit on but lay on. There were animals on the park and it was very clean. It was just amazing. > Crack or craic – Crack or craic is a term for news, Gossip, fun, entertain, and enjoyment conversion. I had a conversion with a person who lived told what that meant. > Trinity college – Students in this college do not have electives and are required to have a major which means they can’t be undecided students. They are only allowed to focus on their field of study. -Salat Ali
