Hello MoodyBlue, If you plan to rent a flat by yourself, I guess you might find a flat not too expensive away from the city centre. Dublin buses are quite good in the early morning but you can't definitively trust them during the day. I would ... Read More

Reverse Culture Shock by Guesposter58

Ciao, I really do understand this feeling. And, you even start to behave negatively towards everything and anybody. Example: In the new country, you get use to walk in the street reading a book. Back home, you are constantly pissed off to check the ... Read More

Zidane vs Materazzi by awa@lecce
Being French in Italy, it was quite difficult to make understand that I was a tifoso of the 2 teams. :thanks: Today, all of them make the joke of the Zidane's headbutt... Funny at the beginning but it becomes to be a bit annoying. I even heard that ...
Mamma mia!!! Did you hear what was the judgement for both of them? Zidane was suspended for 3 matches and asked 4800 euros. As he is now retired, the Fifa asked him to do public works: 3 days with children and adolescents. Materazzi was suspended ... Read More

Racism by Julien
Do you feel racism in your country? Is it complicated to integrate yoursleft with local people or are you used to it? I really like London because the city is a lot of people from everywhere, and everybody seems to be integrated. I don't feel ...
Etel, you shouldn't be down because of them. Many people prefer to leave in a big city: to avoid this kind of behaviour. Are you strong enough to live in a big city without real quality of life? or strong enough to face this ignorance but having a ... Read More
