Erika in Ireland

Helluuuuu!

I'm in Belfast now...And I've got a job. If I want it. At a cafe in city centre. But i will only have the lowest possible wage and that is on 5£ and hour. That's not a lot. But the rent is not that high here. And the living cost isn't that high either. So maybe I should take it. For now. And then continue look for another job. The good thing is...they close at 6pm every day, AND they are CLOSED on sundays! The less good thing is that there is no 39 hour per week, he wants the staff to work at least 50. But I mean, that's not a problem for me...I would prefer work that many hours and still be off every sunday and EVERY EVENING! I could actually have a life!

I have 'til tomorrow to decide whether I want it or not. And I can start as soon as next week. Oh, they get tip as well. Between 10 and 15£ per shift. It's not that bad. And if u count that, I would have almost the same wage as at the Osborne.

But I'm nervous. I'm standing before the choice of moving to Belfast. To leave everything I know and move to a new city AND country actually. But Belfast is truly beautiful. I was in the Botanic Garden yesterday...I loved it, and during my search for jobs today, I've been walking through the whole city centre, and seen so many things.
But am I prepared to live here? Their accent is weird =) I have hard time understanding them. Really. But there are almost no foreigners here. Not like in Dublin. Ok, there are, but in Dublin you see more foreigners then Irish working in shops and malls. Not here. Everyone can speak english!

I only wish someone could take this decision for me. You know, it's scary. Now I'm gonna be totally alone! But, what else can I get? I mean, I need a job soon and now I have one. Please, can someone tell me what to do?

Anyway, I'm glad I'm back in Ireland. But I miss u all already. And Kasia, I will make it to Poland very soon! I just need to sort everything out with job and living and then I come, ok? I haven't forgot you, I promise! I miss u a lot. =)

My tan is disappearing. But my ego is back! =) Of course, because I'm the rare swedish beauty here, with the extraordinary eyes...

Love u all!
