| Moving to Dublin has been a great experience, one I would probably do again, since I got a job here, something I had found impossible in Italy. |
s-2
| However, I know one day I will either change country again or move back to Italy. |
s-3
| The fact that I had already visited Dublin before moving here, and knew some Irish people, helped me settle in. |
s-4
| I thought Ireland was much more relaxed than Rome, and it was easier to get around. |
s-5
| I knew Ireland was a very religious country, and I could see this in some Irish people I met. |
s-6
| I have to say that although Irish people have been friendly and welcoming, I have found some of the cultural differences problematic. |
s-7
| It was hard to adapt to life in Ireland and I don't think I ever will fully adapt, but I think this is due to cultural differences, and not the people. |
s-8
| Also the longer I stay here the more the rain starts to take its toll on me. |
s-9
| The lifestyle and habits are also different. |
s-10
| Most of the socialising in Ireland is done through drinking and I really don't drink much. |
s-11
| In fact, I actually started to drink a bit in this country, but it is not something I particularly enjoy. |
s-12
| I don't know where to start when talking about what I miss about Rome. |
s-13
| I miss hearing Roman; the type of humour. |
s-14
| I especially miss the food, wandering around Romes narrow streets and finding a new monument or something interesting everyday despite living there for over 20 years. |
s-15
| I miss my family and friends. |
s-16
| Generally, I miss how we live over there. |
s-17
| I dont think I could ever consider Ireland home. |
s-18
| I live here and in a way it is home, but I don't think I belong here. |
s-19
| I feel like I'm living a life in-between two countries and all the time I can't wait to go to Rome and when I'm back there, I miss Dublin quite a bit. |
s-20
| I think that no matter where I will live, Rome will always be home. |
