Last night we went out with some of our fellow exchange students after getting to know each other a bit better at a tea party set up by the university. It's amazing that all of us are here, and that we have so much in common even though we are all from such different places. We've met people from Amsterdam, Germany, Finland, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Czech Republic, China, and even Ohio and Arizona! Today a group of us went and got cell phones. Initially, we thought that we could get by, but in this generation it is almost impossible to not have a mobile phone and coordinate everything. It is interesting how popular and simple pay as you go phone plans are. There are several different companies which offer them, and most of them have a few different plans to work out. We have what looks like a credit card, which is connected to our cell phones, and whenever we like we can add minutes, and a "top up" machine, by swiping this card and inserting as much money as you like. While it is cheap for us now to talk to each other over here, for those of you in the States, skype, email, or aim, is still the easiest way to reach me. But life over here is certainly getting easier every day!

Hi Sarah,
Hope you don't mind, Leisha sent me the link to your blog and I have just finished reading your posts. I am thankful you all made the trip safely. Sounds like you had quite a time in Dublin but thank goodness all turned out well. Glad you are settling in and getting a good start on your great adventure. I am looking forward to your future post.
Take Care
