So I'm back in Dublin in a few days after almost a year travelling abroad.....

    I'm back on Thurs March 23rd to be precise.

    I've had a wonderful year in so many ways, just rounding it off in The Big Apple before heading back. I'm glad to be returning in a strange way although I can imagine the novelty wearing off pretty sharply once the reality sets in. Or maybe not who knows!

    So what should I expect (outside of friends/family/relationship issues)???

    I bet the price of pints and fags has gone up (reminding myself to pick up two boxes of duty free fags at the airport) not to mention loads of other things. Has the damned port tunnel opened yet? You get the idea...

    So instead of my rambling questions, I'm handing the thread over to all you ramble-happy AH heads, asking you all to tell me in your own way what's changed in Ireland and Dublin over the last year??????

    How 'bout you land Scrappy, and find out for yourself?

    I don't mean to sound unhelpful, but do you really imagine you'll find commonsense here?

    I remember when I got back after 15 months away.
    Nothing had changed really. Few cosmetic things around Dublin, but my mate and family had really changed at all. One addition to the family (little niece), but my mates were exactly the same, same pubs, same clubs same everything.
    I had thought everything would have changed and everything would have been cooler and more exciting, but it wasn't. Maybe I had too good a time away. Nothing had really changed.

    Sorry to disappoint. :p

    Elthough maybe nothing changing is a good thing :rolleyes:

    Even when you go away for 2 weeks you come back expecting loads to have changed and for your friends to have loads of stories........same old same old unfortunately. Still, coming home is usually **** but you have your friends etc. to be happy about. It's coming in to the summer now too, that nasty winter is (hopefully soon but not yet) over

    It's a tongue-in-cheek thread as far as my intentions go I'd just like to hear what you peeps think/say/have experienced on the matter, with humour or without. Simple as.

    That is all, your honour. :D

    :D No disrespect intended!

    Personally speaking, and that's all it is, my advice would be, move to Cork.

    Dublin, (speaking from experience) is a city with issues. Traffic, unaffordable housing, overpriced everything, and ongoing construction that serves naught but the developers bank account. Move to Cork. Drinks on me :)
