Differences

Here are some differences between Ireland and America that I noticed today:

- In Ireland, professors either don't show up for class or they show up 15 minutes late.
- When an Irish professor tells you to take a 15 minute break, he means 35 minutes.
- The don't sell liquid laundry detergent here.
- Laundry costs 4.5 euro (~$6.75) for one small load.
- If you hold the door open for someone, they say "cheers!"
- Orange soda tastes like American orange juice.
- In early February it is warm enough to wear a t-shirt and flip flops (I hope the weather stays this beautiful!).

As you can tell, I'm doing laundry right now.
