What I'll miss...

Over the past few days I've compiled a list of all the things I’ll miss about my time in Ireland...

1) Ease of traveling (the DART, the Luas, Ryanair, etc.)
2) The historic parts of Dublin, mixed with the newer, more modern parts, like Temple Bar next to the Parliament building.
3) The lady’s voice on the Luas. So musical! hahaha
4) Howth.
5) The Howth market on Sundays!
6) Fresh fruits and vegetables from Moore street (10 bananas for one euro!)
7)DICEY’S on a Wednesday :)
8)Strawberry beer at The Porterhouse. Also, mixing strawberry beer with chocolate beer. It’s quite the delicacy :)
9)The Smithfield hooligans!
10) Lord Chauncy’s marketing class
11) All the wonderful French, German, and Spanish friends I made.
12) Crunchie bars (luckily, Kelly said they sell them at World Market, so I won’t be totally out of luck!)
13) Walking everywhere in the city. Especially with my ipod!
14) BULMERS.
15) Living in one apartment building with our gigantic study abroad family
16) Writing and receiving letters/postcards. I think I’ll continue this in the States, and probably for the rest of my life.
17)Running through Phoenix Park on a nice, sunny Dublin day. Those sunny days were rare toward the beginning, but the last couple weeks were absolutely beautiful.
18) The pub culture.
19) The Dublin girls/Dublin fashion
20) Seeing signs in Gaelic
21) The insane amount of café’s. It’s so easy to find a place to sit and talk, or just read a book.
22) Lack of homework, leaving more time to get to know people, travel, and focus on the other things.
23) Seeing everything for the first time. I’ve lived in Charleston for a while, so I have to make myself take a step back and really look at how beautiful something is.
24) The excellent dance music in all the dance clubs (specifically, “Bulletproof” “Rude Boy”, “Ego” and anything by Cheryl Cole.)
25) Hearing people say curse words on the street like it’s no big deal.
26) The sound of the traffic lights telling pedestrians to walk.
27) My Dublin family :)
