Dublin - Day 1

Well, I made it through my first day of classes here in Dublin. Yesterday, after arriving at about 8 am in the morning, I dropped my luggage off at Trinity College and proceeded to take up the time getting my bearings of the city with a classmate of mine.

My initial impression of Dublin is that it feels as cosmopolitan as any other city I've visited. It's unique in seeing a lot of young people around -- maybe even more younger people than older in the City Centre area.

This morning while walking to my classes, it seemed as if most of the people walking around were in their 20's. I also noticed that fashion seems very similar to New York City -- jeans, running shoes, and a button-down shirt seem to be the standard uniform.

I'm still recovering from my jet lag, and I have a reception to attend in about half-an-hour, but I'm hanging in there and just appreciating a moment to think to myself.
