Past Review Great Craic
We don't live in tribal times anymore, restrained by what is immediately around us - instead we are all contributors on a world stage. Even listening to music at the pub I could notice a difference in what cultures choose to value, which made me get to choose for myself how to live. In Ireland anyone is welcome to join in or sin... - University of Tasmania View Entire Review

Past Review Cloud 9 !
I gained a taste of cultural newness all over again. The friendships I gained will be irreplaceable and the memories we shared.

It w... - University of New Mexico View Entire Review

I think that the most important lesson that I learned is that it requires a great deal of patience and self control to contend with so many different personalities. - University of New Mexico View Entire Review

Past Review Fun
