"This is cool!!!"

Garanova Daria, student from Russia

In general, all is well. There are some problems related to food. For Irish families is it normally to eat burgers, hot-dogs, and French fries often or every day. This is very unusual for our family, because this food is heavy and caloric. We prefer more dairy products, vegetables and lean meat. But! Our homestay -- just wonderful!!! Very friendly and very nice!!!
