Experience in Dublin, Ireland by Mislav

What is it like to live in Dublin? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Living in Dublin is hard at start if you have never been here before specially because of accuaring PPS number and other paperwork needed for longer staying period. After starting phase it is just routine studying/working over the week and for most partying over the weekends. I would recommend Dublin for education or work and if you choose education be prepared to pay a good money. Also there are many places to visit around Dublin. City is very clean and mostly under CCTV. There is not much green plces in the city so if you want to see some nature you need to go more out of the city center. If you are interested in history there is planty of places to visit.
