    Paris can be done on a budget. We found loads of great places with deals for dinner and wine for 30 for 2. One place charged us 100 for 2 burgers and a bottle of wine, last night blow out.
    Oh to be sitting outside watching the world go by with a glass of vino. Sadly the electric sander will have to do for today :)
    It's baltic outside. Was out there on the phone earlier and was standing with my hood up shivering!

    Sitting inside, looking out the window at the world go by is the way to do it.

    Ah but all Paris bistros have heated patios, and blankets on the chairs. The French do it with style :)

    Lost of cities can be done on a budget and a cheap ryanair flight too.

    Krakow:
    Great student city and loads of places to eat on the cheap. Decent weather too during the summer

    Barcelona:
    Loads of small cafes off the beaten track, plenty of cheap n cheerful hotels and apartments to stay in.

    Seville:
    Beautiful city, so much to see and do, great weather too, though avoid the summer months as it gets a little too hot and crowded with tourists

    San Sebastian/Bilbao/Santander:
    Great weather, lots to see and do and lots of good cheap accommodation away from main tourist seasons. Plenty of small cafes and restaurants to eat in.

    Thats just a few there.

    I'm totally blaming him anyway! I think I may have killed my immune system with alcohol! True story.

    Also I am pretty sure the gym class is not going to make me feel any better :(

    You have a bad dose SUN, hugs!

    My sister made a savage dinner, I need to start using ginger more :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 4,644 Mod ✭✭✭✭Daisies


    You poor thing SUN. Not nice.

    What did she make Pem?

    Just back from the gym and had an awkward moment when I think I may have met the gym instructor before. Now whether it was a drunken conversation or whether I tested his eyes is anyone's guess!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Chatting to my brother on Skype for ages, which makes me happy and laugh! He was telling me loads of stories from his 30th that was the other weekend, heard a bunch of great stories from others too. My family are mental, but gas!

    But I'm also sad hearing about it cause I'm sad I missed it and all the fun. Bit homesick now.

    Been meaning to say to you PP that what you've done is really admirable from my point of view - leaving the country, leaving your family and boyfriend and everything you know to go to college, I just don't think I could do it.well done you :)

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that happened me before, turns out I met him in Coppers but thankfully there was no shifting!

    She made chicken stirfry with LOADS of veg, garlic, soya sauce and some ginger. Then she had a healthy and super tasty flapjack thingy for dessert :)

    I agree with SUN, it's seriously commendable what you did and fair play! Hugs for homesickness!

    Oh it's happened before! I remember faces but never names or where I met them. Disaster.

    PP, I know the feeling for the homesickness and it's horrible. Sometimes the only thing for it is a big gut wrenching cry. I found it helped loads (followed by crap TV, chocolate and wine)

    What college do you go to Peach?

    When I was at Queens I have to say I thought there was very few people from the south. Loads of English, Scottish etc, but hardly any from down here.

    Do Irish students have a tendency to stay at home?

    I go to college in Canada for my masters this year! I did my undergrad in my hometown so was living at home the whole time almost.

    Leaving wasn't that big of a deal really cause I hated my job, hated living with my parents and had crap friends :pac: Miss my dog more than my family really! I'm not one to get homesick really, was away for 6 months in the states before and hated coming home.

    I like it here! I love the snow and the food and the people and the beer :D Just sad to miss out on some things back home!
