Well, I spent about two years in England a few years ago
0:00:01:45:000,0:00:01:52:000 I wanted to live abroad and I had friends
in Dublin who Told me to come here, that it was great !
0:00:01:53:000,0:00:01:56:000 So, I arrived when I was fourteen and stayed
!
0:00:01:59:000,0:00:02:11:000 You have lived in Ireland and England which
do you prefer ? Ireland. The Irish are much more welcoming
than the English
0:00:02:12:000,0:00:02:14:000 I prefer Ireland too!

community here ? In Dublin, yes.

lots of French friends in Dublin.
0:00:02:30:000,0:00:02:40:000 Was Ireland as you had expected it ?
I knew before going to England, that Dublin
0:00:02:40:050,0:00:02:45:000 Would be similar to London, but not at all.
Its very different, there are many more positives
