In order to heat the house, you can't only use electricity, because too expensive, therefore, you have to buy some heating oil, which is pretty expensive as well!!!

I tried Yoga by BurrenYoga Centre which was really good. There were three Drumm Classes run at the time in the city...Search Niall O Flinn. I would also recomend 5-Rythms Dance Class. Go to concert of BARA and KILA. The school year in Ireland is the shortest in Europe. That gives plenty o time for travelling which is what you really should do in Ireland. Very beautiful.

The experience abroad is very good. GMIT is an institute of Technology NOT a University, so don't get surprised.
Enjoy your time in Ireland and travel as much as you can.
Jobs are easy to find in case you need it.
Ireland is a expensive country for food.
