One day in 2007, when I was cooped in the army
camp (about to end),
reading books and kinda studying, I realised I
needed to speak English.
The reason was that I wanted to broarden
my experience, knowledge or
whatsoever. I am sorry, yes, you're right. Actuallly
I just wanted to
go f*cking aboard. :) By the way, what
about money? And where?
What I had decided first was going to Malta. Yes, seemed like a great idea. Fewer Korean and Cheaper price of life than ohters, but not able to work(Yes, I wanted to work of course. I know people thought I woudn't able to work in the foreign country, cos I am STUPID).
Then, I changed my destination to Ireland. Any idea about this country? No. HELL NO. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT IRELAND AT THAT TIME. (My friend said "Hey, it's not a Island. It's IRELAND. That's totally different! Do you know that?" -> SCREW YOU!)
It sounded really nice. Being Able to work, fewer Korean. Also it seemed sth different. Everybody goes to U.S.A, England, Austraillia, New Zealand, Philippine, India or South Africa to learn English. As you know and I know, I love to be odd, love to do sth what people don't do.
Pre-study before going (for 1.5 month):
Listening 30 min a day - Nothing special but the same script everyday.
Watching a movie - Without subtitle, even though I understand nothing.
Plan :
Destination - Dublin, Republic Of Ireland
Departure - 7/Mar/2007 (The day I finished the army service : 2/Mar/2007)
Duration - 9 Months
Expenses - 7,500 Euro
Expenses detial :
Flight - 900 Euro
School fee - 4,500 Euro
Living Expenses - 2,100 Euro
Seemed so tight, people said. So, what? "I can survive!!" I thought.
Yes, I've done it and am still staying in Ireland.
This category is about my life in Dublin, Ireland. Yes, it's been long time now, Bit late to start writing about it. So I might have forgotten sth. But I really wanna make my stroy remained somewhere, for my memory, for somebody who might be interested in coming to Ireland for their English.
I will write this story like if I am living that time like mixing between present tense and past tense, coz that would be easier. And will write both language Korean and English. (My English wouldn't be really good but okay. Don't be mean to me. I am not that clever guy.)
Let's get started soon!
