Farewell, Galway! See you next week

It was 6 months ago that I moved to Galway, Ireland, for a 6 months internship sponsored by the INOV Contacto program. It was 6 months ago that I left the comfort of the house I had lived in for the previous 20-something years and moved to a completely new place. It was 6 months ago that I had the first of many pints of Guinness…

Those were 6 great months.

A lot of fun was had at the awesome Irish pubs. Some travelling was done around Europe. A lot of people were met, and some became good friends.

Those were the good things, and although not everything was perfect, I really can’t point any especially bad experience. So the overall experience was very positive.

And that’s why I’m going back!

That’s right, I hadn’t made it official yet, but I’m announcing it now. The company where I did the internship offered me a contract extension and so I’ll go back to Galway for some more time.

It’s now time to rest, and I’ll be back in one week.

    Ahh, acho muito bem :)

    Vi que mudaste a quantidade de Guiness’s, em vez de pints/day, já são kegs… Isso é para confundir o pessoal? Assim nem pareces muito viciado ;P

      A unidade de medida vai mudando cada vez que vens à página. E sim, é para confundir… :P
