How to get your life set up in Dublin in 10 steps

1. Arrive safely
2. Ask for a different room the next day, because you didn't come to Ireland to live with Germans. Could have stayed in Maastricht for that.
3. Find out that there is no bus to campus from where you live and then start looking for a bicycle shop that sells second hand bicycles. No second hand ones? ok. then buy a new one.
4. Try to open a bank account. You can't? ok. try again in two weeks, success guaranteed.
5. Find the nearest Tesco and cherish it.
6. Keep trying your best at evading the school girls and boys in their uniforms that flock the combined foot- and bicycle paths.
7. Remember to always do the previous on the LEFT side of the road.
8. That means, you have to overtake other cyclists on their RIGHT side (god, they're slow... wonder how they actually stay on their bikes).
9. Get a campus bar membership right before you register at the university, otherwise you have to replace the student card you just got fifteen minutes before.
10. When you have done all this, you can decide on new hobbies: TRAMPOLINING! horray!
