Welcome home, Maca. It’ll take some getting used to but enjoy! Finland’s loss is Ireland’s gain!

Yeah, good luck!
Hope you get sorted out with a job quickly and the price of everything doesn’t come as too much of a shock…

>I can�t say I�m thrilled to be going home but it must be done.
Tell us more?

The pay might seem better at home the price of houses and just about everything else has gotten so bad. Half the time I can get a pinta cheaper in Boston than Donegal …

Oh yeah, send me an e-mail, I might be able to refer you to somewhere.

Hope I don’t sound too nosey, but why ‘must’ you move back to Ireland? Did your job come to an end or had you had enough? Also what made you move to Finland in the first place.

I’ve been wanting to move back to north Wales for a while now. I never thought I’d want to go back there, but I’m starting to get fed up with city living (not that Cardiff’s huge). I want to be closer to my folks who are getting older and I find the 4 hour = drive to get home too much, + I miss being in a natrually Welsh speaking area. There are thousands of young Welsh speakers in the capital with a good social/music/art scene because of it, but it’s not a proper community – it feels very transient.

I though I’d struggle to persuade the missus to move up there, but she’s also missing her folks who live in York which is 5 hours + from Cardiff (as opposed to only 2 hours from north Wales). Finding work for us both will be tricky. We’re looking into being self employed/part time.
I’m launching a little website business next month as a trail run. Both of us are graduates, but in lame subjects (tourism management + environmental legislation) which needless to say neither of us are have used. My folks own a farm and we;re considering tourism or alternative croips – I’d be no use at animal husbandry!

Which part of Ireland are you moving (back) to? My girlfriend’s Canadian cousin has just married an Irishman and they live outside Carlow somewhere. We hope to visit them sometime.

Good luck and hope the move goes smoothly, and keep us informed when you get connected to the intraweb again!
