    I figured there was a good chance you hadn't been born in Texas, but yeah I think that would've been the main problem. You'll be grand. You can stay in my place. :D

    HI everyone! I'm also planning on studying in Ireland next year and I'm kind of worried about how I will be treated being hispanic/latina. I'm guessing there aren't very many in Ireland. But I'm really friendly:)

    You'll probably be mistaken for a Spanish student.
    They're not too popular due to their penchant for buying one drink between six people and lying on every bit of grass within sight.

    Other than that, you'll be fine.

    As you can tell from my sig, I'm leaving the US for Dublin in about a month. I've never been and I must say some threads on boards are scaring the crap out of me. I've heard lots of good things about the Irish attitude towards foreigners, but as the time approaches I'm paying more attention to the bad and now I'm petrified that I'll spend the next year of my life with no enjoyable contact with the Irish! I'm not a big supporter of America myself, so I don't get bothered by people pointing out the flaws in American culture (as long as it's legit). I'm more afraid that people are going to hear an accent and immediately start abusing me personally for being American.

    Anyway, I'd like to know what I'm in for so I can brace myself. All feedback will be appreciated.


    **** off back to your third world country, etc, blah.

    Ah no, you're alright really, have a pint, you'll be grand.

    Ok,so I might be mistaken for spanish. It's just that I don't think I look like any spanish person that I've met. I guess everything will be fine. And as for being hot, I guess that depends on your preferences.But for the record, I have long dark hair, big dark eyes, I'm tall and ,yes, I'm bronzed. Oh and one more thing, the spanish people I've met were not very nice they were kind of stand-offish.:(

    Pilly, you've been missing for almost 2 weeks at this stage. I noticed something was odd when you weren't chiming in on the Halloween threads - these cretins dont understand my candy corn love.

    So, has some Dublin taxi driver abducted PillyPen? Strike me down if its actually happened.

    Lol, haven't been abducted! But I've been on many adventures the past two weeks and haven't had time to e-mail my parents let alone join the good fight on boards. I saw John C. McGinley give a speech earlier this week and today I get to see Salman Rushdie!! So excited. I've also been getting way too drunk and calling the natives commies, which (to my surprise) has not turned me into a total social leper!

    But who was talking smack about candy corn??

    The men here won't talk to me unless they're drunk! Wtf?? I'm not saying I'm the hottest women alive, but beer goggles have never been a prerequisite for wanting to chat me up before!
