How will I start? One thing I know is that I love traveling and I am restless when it comes to know places and new cultures. I think aside from drinking and having a good time at the pubs, I will have a better grasp of the Irish culture. I think it is very important to get to know and explore the Irish culture since it has also become part of America. Ireland as a country will be difficult to explore with only two weeks, since it has different regions with some differences. Europe itself fascinates me since it has influence the world, specially the United States.  At one point we had a great immigration of Irish people due to their economic problems. Going back to the trip to Ireland, I regard myself as a good traveling buddy since I do not complicate myself and will be open to do anything, be up, walk, go to different adventures through the town, even better get involve and get lost in the culture.  I am pretty sure I will not understand sometimes when they speak because it is a different kind of English and that I am not Irish by blood, like many others that have submitted the small essays. At the same time, my family has ingrain traveling and has broad experience and patience when it comes to adjustment to a new culture, town, type of living, you name it! However, as far as I know, anything that takes to know other culture and travel around the world, I will see it as a great experience for learning and at the same time having fun with Josef and others down there!? What else would I ask for? I think if I go, it will be a very rewarding experience.
