Dublin in the SNOW

The lollipop sales didn't go as well today, and we had to wake up early to get there which had also not great. But it was cold, so cold that IT STARTED TO SNOW. Thankfully it started after our shift selling lollipops was done. We mostly observed from the McDonalds window. The dart on the way home was so pretty, all the housed and cars were covered in a thin layer of snow. However walking in the snow, not as pretty. Since I have spent all this time in Dublin I have decided to compile a list of things that I have learned about it.
1.disregard the traffic signs, no one actually waits for the light to walk, seriously, just roll with the crowd
2. You may be able to run in front of cars, but never get in front of the Lous (the trolly) it stops for no one.
3. If you do choose to wait for the light, when it tells you to cross it sounds like a light saber
4. When in northern Dublin and Henry st. Wear your bag over your head and don't look at anyone
5. The birds fly low, poop, and are afraid of no one, BEWARE
6. The Abercrombie here is as poorly lit, loud, and smelly as the ones at home
7. Arrive for buses early, darts are often on time
8. Know what you are going to buy before going into convenience shops
9. It's good to be tall when observing a street performer with a crowd around them
10. If you go into posh shops they won't ask you to leave, but they will glare at you until you do
11. When you got to a McCafe by McDonalds, it's actually a Cafe
12. If you buy cookies at marks and Spencer's it's a better deal to but the pack of 5 for €3 and split it with your friends
Just some little things, we are going out tomorrow but in a smaller town so that should be good. Also, now people from the school here know about my blog, so I will have to try a little harder to actually make this good.
