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. However, I know one day I will either change country again or move back to Italy. The fact that I had already visited Dublin before moving here, and knew some Irish people, helped me settle in. I thought Ireland was much more relaxed than Rome, and it was easier to get around. I knew Ireland was a very religious country, and I could see this in some Irish people I met. I have to say that although Irish people have been friendly and welcoming, I have found some of the cultural differences problematic. 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. Also the longer I stay here the more the rain starts to take its toll on me. The lifestyle and habits are also different. Most of the socialising in Ireland is done through drinking and I really don't drink much. In fact, I actually started to drink a bit in this country, but it is not something I particularly enjoy. I don't know where to start when talking about what I miss about Rome. I miss hearing Roman; the type of humour. 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. I miss my family and friends. Generally, I miss how we live over there. I dont think I could ever consider Ireland home. I live here and in a way it is home, but I don't think I belong here. 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. I think that no matter where I will live, Rome will always be home.
