Postcard from Dublin

Nadia Colombo reminisces about Dublin...

After two months spent in Dublin and one month left before my departure, I think that the best subject I could choose for my essay is the city of Dublin.

Dublin is not the city of my dreams. It's cultural life cannot be compared to the majority of the other European capitals, and the weather is not good enough.

Despite that, I'm going to remember this city for a long time.

Dublin has grown on me slowly, step by step. I have known it inside out, wandering around the city centre every day since I arrived and now that I know it, I can say that I really like it.

I love the refined Georgian houses and their coloured doors, as well as the ruined colourful houses of Camden street. I like walking along the canal and sitting on a bench reading a book on a sunny day. I enjoy the strong flavour of malt you can feel in the air on a windy day. And above all I love the changeable Irish sky which strongly affects the perception of the city.
