Working to end homelessness

Apartment hunting in Cork was really a challenge or how else would you describe a situation where a myriad number of students and other immigrants like myself are all fighting to get one shoe box-sized mouldy room. After countless hours of despair we finally managed to force our deposit on a unsuspecting house owner who had no choice but to let us in in this 3-storey lovely apartment in the city center. I'm so never moving out of this house.

The first weeks here have been so hectic it feels like I've been living here at least a year. We have applied for PPS numbers, bought prepaid phones, opened bank accounts and even the health care has been taken care of. So life seems pretty secure, right? Time to get to know the new home country, right? Kinsale is a nice place to start exploring Ireland.

Atlantic waiting

We arrived in Kinsale during the low tide. Poor river looks so sad without its water.

Low tide

Charles Fort was really worth visiting.

The day was really sunny and would have been even warm without the wind. The weather has been suspiciously nice ever since we arrived. I wonder if I will ever be strong enough to live through the rainy days when the weather changes :D But at least it won't be snowing here in Ireland.
