I’m a PE girl - in the world. Ok, it’s not as exciting as that sounds, I haven’t really been around the world, but my adventures have been pretty exciting – for a PE girl. I’m starting at the beginning of my next adventure –Dublin.
Having spent almost 9 years in the UK, moving to a whole new country was quite daunting. Exciting, but daunting. How do things work? Will I be able to get my favourite things? Where will I get them? Will I understand the Irish accent? Will they understand me?
We took the ferry over and on arriving I noticed that some things were actually similar to SA:
- They work in km/h
- The ‘Yield’ sign is called a ‘Yield’ sign and not a ‘Give Way’ sign
- Their number plates have some reference to the town they’re from – which I’ve always liked. I’m sure that’s why I wasn’t hooted at so much in Cape Town when I had to suddenly change lanes – ‘poor lost PE person’ or maybe ‘look at the stupid PE person just cutting me off like that!’
And I have since discovered that they love their fast / takeaway food as much as I do. We have a pile of takeaway menus offering all sorts of wonderful sounding things from all over the world.
I also love the American influence – there are a number of American themed restaurants.
And there are plenty of shops and shopping centres
What more could a PE girl ask for?
