Here in Ireland. Preferably somewhere scenic, a nice quiet hilltop surrounded by trees and forest.

American living in Ireland here:

The seventy-seven pounds of fake tan and bronzer Irish lasses wear to hid their beautiful creamy pale skin, and the REALLY heavy and thick eyeliner (like, ancient Egyptian kohl thick).

The complete and utter lack of screen doors or window screens to keep bugs out.

The utter shite insulation in almost every flat and gaff, only the new builds vaguely resembling decently insolated.

The complete lack of exhaust fans in bathrooms, especially when there’s no outside window in the bathroom.

Yes and no. It’s easier, I think, within the immigrant communities for immigrants to make friends, because we’re all bonded by the same pain - it’s hard to make friends in new cultures!

I have a few Irish friends, but most of my friends have come from immigrant groups - Facebook and Reddit groups for Americans in Ireland, mostly.

I’m from Texas, but I live in Dublin.

Simple enough.
