People speak English and Irish here.
This part of Ireland uses euros. Northern Ireland uses pound sterling.
I paid €1.50 for a large water bottle yesterday which is pretty similar to the price in the U.S.
I haven't had luck finding good Irish food, so I would have to say that the best food I had this week was an American hamburger. I plan on asking the locals for more restaurant recommendations going forward.
I don't really listen to music a lot, so I did not listen to any this week.
I took a tour of my school this week. The campus is absolutely incredible, and it was really helpful when I navigated the campus on my first day of classes.
I have been so busy exploring the area that I have yet to pick up a book. However, I have been reading the Irish Times (the local newspaper).
I have not done either of these activities this week.
