Living in another country means figuring out how to adjust to a new place and a new culture. However, when I came to Ireland I didn’t just have to adjust to Irish culture, but to multiple different kinds of cultures. Three of my roommates are from different countries in Europe: Sweden, Finland, and Germany. While living in Ireland with them, I have learned a lot about their countries.Even though my roommates and I are from different countries, we quickly adjusted to living with each other. We frequently talk to each other about our countries and our differences in culture, everyday life, and overall life experiences. It has been very interesting learning about different cultures and countries and I think that has been one of the great things about living in Ireland. (Submitted on May 4,2024)
