LIFE AFTER SCHOOL 

After high school, many teenagers in Ireland have a fairly active social life, although a lot depends on where they live. In cities, it is common for them to meet friends in cafes, shopping centers or parks. They often go to the movies, go for a walk or just meet up to chat. In small towns, the options may be more limited, but always look for ways to spend time together.
 
An important part of your social life is extracurricular activities. Many young people play sports such as Gaelic football, rugby or hurling, allowing them to make friends and stay active. There are also music, theater or youth volunteer groups.
 

In general, the family continues to play an important role, but little by little adolescents begin to gain independence. Although social media and technology are very influential, they still highly value face-to-face contact with their friends and shared experiences.

Of course, it was the nucleus of the market.            The way back seemed a lot slower than the first drive, maybe because we were too tired to acknowledge the time we spent there. But, overall, Limerick is a well-rounded city with its its own special plac...

THE IRISH FOOD

         I knew from the first moment that I was going to be shocked. But, to my surprise, the food is not that different. They actually love potatoes. However, they cook everything inside the airfryer. At first, i didn´t really get used to that style of cooking. Nevertheless, after eating airfried food day in day out, my taste buds started to accept the new textures and flavours. Also, i thought that I would be eating much more vegetables, but it wasn´t the case. Maybe it was only my household, but every time they cooked some kind of meat, they will always add some spice to it.          The meals wasn´t something crazy, they were something simple, like a normal Burger. Sometimes they could cook something a bit fancier, something as pasta a la carbonara, all from scratch. By and large, they just like something easy to make, quick but also tasty.           But, at the end of the day, I prefer th...
