A Few Days Away

Dublin  for the weekend so just a heads up I will be "taking a few days off" of blogger due to the lack of computer capabilities. However, I wanted to use this post to share a few interesting facts about Irish culture and the strange moments I've had.

•       Toilets...not restrooms, don't confuse them.
•     They do not care quite as much about beauty products...it's crazy hard to find make-up and good hair products here. They keep it simple, and like it that way. My hair..doesn't.
•  By some magical capabilities they must not get sick that often, don't expect to find a variety of medications to suit your ill needs. Also, they only have ONE type of aspirin here.
•   After a friend ordered baileys and coke, she proceeded to mix them: the bar-tenders response? THAT'S BLASPHEMY!
• Potatoes aren't there main deal here, they are a regular item just like everything else.
• Considering there beautiful use of the English language, of course they say things like "mind our children" on street signs. Unlike us where we throw a stick figure up and hope that rings a bell with stupid drivers. 
• It's hard to eat out for less than $15. 
•  The toilets are shaped differently...perhaps this has something to do with American butts. I really would love to know the origination of toilet lid shapes.

   Ok that's it for now. Trust me, I could write a novel about all of the differences here compared to American way..but for now I think i'll keep the ball rolling and see what other interesting facts I find. Until then...have a great weekend! :) Stay dry in Georgia...seems like yall have gotten more rain than we have.
