Personal comments

Dublin has got plenty of nice places to go and visit, although thery are mainly concentrated in one area, temple bar and city centre. I cannot complain about it, I enjoyed a lot. I also enjoyed the country, I visited north, south, and west (unbelievable west).

I had attended the international school in Madrid for 10 years and carried out the International Baccalaureate which allowed me to have a very good level of english. How ever it took some time to get used to the irish accent and specially the slang.
