I've been attending a language school in Bray right next to the beach. I wish we had that at home, too! Learning about the language and culture firsthand has been eye-opening, and I feel like I've learnt so much in just a few days.
One of the highlights was visiting two Irish schools. It was fascinating to see the differences in the education system compared to what I'm used to back home. Meeting Irish students and hearing about their experiences was super interesting.
A trip to Croke Park in Dublin was another highlight of the week. Gaelic sports are fascinating, and it is incredible that all the Irish sportsmen and women in Gaelic sports aren’t professionals… they are amateurs and do it without getting paid!!!!! Exploring Dublin on a self-guided tour allowed me to see the city from a different perspective, and I learnt a lot about the city.
Last night, we had an Irish dance night in Bray, which was an absolute blast. Even though my dance moves were far from perfect, I had so much fun!
I will remember this journey and hope to come back again in the future!
