Ireland the land of a hundred thousand welcomes
By Silvia Kristel Who has not, at some moment in their lives, thought of studying abroad? Almost everyone, whether it be to go to University, learn a language or a student exchange. As such Ireland, in the last few years, has become a place to meet thousands of student of every nationality and culture, where Dublin in particular, has transformed itself into a cosmopolitan and intercultural space. It is not uncommon, particularly when one is recently arrived, to hear someone say, that they have heard more than ten languages spoken in the same place, just to walk through the centre of the city is to see the diversity in the faces encountered, students with varying nationalities, living together with a shared enthusiasm to learn about and to encounter a new culture, a new land.

To commence our journey through Ireland we chose the city of Galway. Located in the province of Connacht, the city sits on the shores of Galway Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, and is divided by the rushing River Corrib. According to the 2006 census, the city has 80,000 inhabitants – however this number is constantly rising as Galway is an industrial and university hub for the western region, as well as a city much loved by visitors to Ireland. The city is known as the Cultural Capital of Ireland, with a great atmosphere of culture on its streets which are filled with artists and street performances during the summer season. Eyre Square, which lies right in the heart of the city, is a favourite spot for tourists and local residents alike. During the Galway Arts Festival, which takes place in July every year, the city buzzes with exciting events and an electric atmosphere.' See More..
