I`m moving to Cork

Eva_M

Hello.

Well, I don`t know if this is the right place, but I have been looking all over the internet to find someone who lives in Cork
I am moving to Cork in January or February, and I was hoping to talk to someone who lives there, and maybe I can meet when I get there.
I am moving with my feance and my 2 year old daughter. My feance got a job offer in Cork, but I have to stay home and take care of ouer baby.
I am usually verry shy, But I don`t want to be all alone for 18 months with no friends and nothing to do
If someone is wondering where I`m moving from, it`s Norway
If you have something you can tell me about Cork, or if you know of any web- sites I can visit, please send me an e- mail or PM me

This is probably a good place to start if you want to talk to someone from Cork. Are you moving near the city?

Eva_M

I am so glad to hear that I am in the right place!

Well, I don`t know yet, but we have been looking for apartments in Cork City It`s not easy to find something on the internet, you have to see it with your eyes.
My feance are moving to Ireland on January 4th. But Me and my daughter have to wait untill he can find an apratment. And I hope he can find a place verry fast. I can`t wait to move to Ireland

Is Cork a small place?


( I don`t know if my age shows, but if anyone are wondering, i`m 22. )

From Wikipedia:

Cork City has a population of 123,062 (186,239 including its immediate suburbs) while the county (excluding city) has a population of 324,767 (CSO 2002).

The city itself is small enough. I would say you won't have too much trouble finding an apartment. You should try the accomodation forum.

Cork is dead easy to move to, Lexington's post has all you need really If you want to find out about moving to Ireland in general, the government information website at http://oasis.gov.ie has loads of stuff.

Having made the move myself back in 2004 I would say that Daft.ie is an excellent site for apt. hunting! (My fiancé is from Cork and he uses Daft).

Another site I would recommend just for Irish Tourism in general would be www.cork-guide.ie

If you're stuck you can always try renting short term from Northgate Apartments (25 Kryl's Quay) but it can be expensive so not good for a long period of time (unless you work out a deal w/ them). Their apt's are definitely clean and well kept (I've used them twice before).

Good luck with your move to Cork Eva. It's a great city.

Good luck with it all Eva,
I think you will like Cork - it is not as cosmopolitan as some other European cities and there are limited amenities but, the people are very friendly and it is getting better.
Try to get to see the real Cork while you are there, get out and about down the country at the weekends - get to North, West and East Cork. Go to festivals, there are loads of those in the summer.
Have a great time I know what it is like to be away from home for a while.

Hey Eva!
That's great news that you're coming to sample our lovely city. I'm currently living in Stockholm Sweden and having fun here. Culturally, it's a bit different but I would imagine you would fit right in. I know what it's like to move to a new place but don't worry about making friends. If you're having any difficulties or you want some advice, drop them on this thread. I'll be back in Cork in February and I can't wait!!
Best of Luck.

I'm sure you'll find lots of information on things to do in Cork and peopel to meet up with here

And I'd advise going here to talk to people who are from Cork
