how our lifes can change It´s incredible how our lifes can change. I´m sure that most of us when we were young thought that our lifes would be better and our jobs would improve with the years. And it´s normal to think in this way because you are getting experience and developing your different professional skills so you would be able to apply for better jobs with the pass of the years. However, sometimes is not like that because we come across an economical crisis in our country or because we have been fired from our job. And it´s tough. You have to be strong and face the situation. And when you start to search on the internet and you realize that the professional sector where you were working last 12 years is gone, you start to think that you have to reinvent yourself and look for other sectors. And the problem is that the companies are looking for profiles which are completly different of yours.

Coming back to Spain Yesterday I came back to Santander, my home town. It was two weeks ago when I decided to leave Dublin and come back home for different reasons, so I booked my flight. As most of students, I had accumulated a lot of stuff last months, but I just booked one suitcase to get into the aircraft cellar -the other one would go with me-. However, when I was packing my suitcase I realised that I had three backpacks with 15, 10 and 10 kilos. Fortunately, when I was in the queue of the boarding gate I saw an irish guy who didn´t have any suitcase or bag, and I asked to him if he didn´t mind carring on with my backpack to pass the control. And he didn´t mind so I saved the 60 euros fine.

Leaving Dublin next week. Yes, I´m leaving Dublin. And I´m looking for other guy who takes my room. And here is the problem: my roomates want to choose the new housemate between a lot of candidates. They want the perfect one. They prefer some nationalities to others and with a good command of english language. They don´t want to share with girls beacuse they are already three girls in the house and they want to keep a balance between male and female. And they have other preferences that, in my opinion, are a shame and I can´t write here. On the other hand, I don´t mind who is going to take my room. And I don´t want to waste the time of all this desperated people who is looking for accomodation in Dublin. I had to do the same seven months ago and it was one of the worst experience in my life. And I know that this situation is happening in the cities around the world beacuse it is getting very common to share a house. So I hope that people who are looking for housemate forget their prejudices and choose the first kind guy/girl who visit the flat.

Living in Dublin I have been living in Dublin for seven months and the temperture has never been over 15 degrees. This fact for a spanish guy as I am is depressing. I had visited several countries throughout the north of europe but I had never lived in one of them. And know I realise how different is the life here than in Spain. At least how different was this winter, which, by the way, was the colder winter for last 15 years in Ireland. At the beginning, in September, everything were amazing. It was so easy to meet new friends from around the world and practice your english with them. But in last months all my friends have left Dublin, one follow the other. That´s the problem here. You meet people, students in the most cases, you become friends, and then they left. Why?, beacuse they wanted to stay here just some months to improve their english and continue their lives in their countries.

My new discovery I was looking for a good website where I could exchange language with other peoplefor weeks . A good one where you could meet people from other countries and with different cultures, correct their texts and be corrected, talk on skype. To sum up, a website which would give a full experience at the same time I improve my english. And eventually, yesterday, I found Italki. Even this morning I was amazed with this website. It´s awesome how collaborative the users are here. I wrote some texts and in just half an hour other users had corrected my essays. I was chatting with people from other countries so far way, and I hope to talk on skype with some of them next days. I was correcting the writings of others as well. I never saw something like that, at least for free. I think Italki is a really good example about big things which can be done in internet to help people and enrich their lifes.
