No more expensive than Dublin or Cork, at least that's how I found it. I've actually only spent one night there, as a a trip from Budapest. Is it really a nice place? I chose it based on location more than anything else. And Austrian girls.

I'll be studying there for a full academic year, but I'll be heading over in mid-August and probably staying til at least August 2011 (exams over there are in July as far as I know).
I spent a lot of the summer traveling around Eastern Europe, and I kept bumping into really friendly Austrians, so I said I'd call into Vienna on my way home for a night (I was flying back from Munich). Despite only spending around 20 hours there, I did a lot and really enjoyed the place. Austrians are drastically different to Germans, which is refreshing. Great sense of humor, very approachable, and just a lot of fun to hang out with.
I'm envious of you having visited Salzburg; I passed through it on the way to Munich from Vienna, and it was painful to be confined to the train while looking at the scenery. If I can take my eyes off Eastern Europe while in Vienna, I'm really going to try and see a bit of the rest of Austria.0 -

The country has scenery that you only see in the movies. Im probably gonna re-do the trip i did a few years ago during the summer as it was a small bit rushed,even though i saw a lot id say theres so much i missed there aswell.0 -

I'm heading to France next year on Erasmus and we still haven't been told anything about it, never mind booking accomodation etc. French Department are a fuccing disgrace, noone seems to know whose responsability it is. Still not sure what city to go to like

Head up to the International Office, they're the ones who are gonna help you the most. However, it's up to your department to sort out where you're going to, so I'd recommend getting onto someone in the French department ASAP, so choose a destination. You're gonna have to have a deposit paid on accommodation in France by the end of February, lest you be left with places out on the sticks to choose from.0 -

He's already living out in the sticks as it is so it should suit him

Those French chicks love the Irish anyway, I wouldn't worry about resorting to methods as drastic as that!
I was in the Hi-B in Cork a few nights ago, and there were 2 French girls there, on their first night in Ireland. Wrong place to tell people that you're French...0 -
Papa_Lazarou wrote: »"so i hear ye frenchies like putting yer hands on our balls"
Seeing as the match was played in Paris, I would imagine that the balls in question were more French than Irish.
Did I just waste both of our time by posting that?
Yes I did.
I apologise. 0 -

I'd go if it was Michael Collins, what a movie.
British officer: You're seven minutes late, Mr. Collins.
Michael Collins: You've kept us waiting 700 years. You can have your seven minutes.
I read somewhere that that particular exchange actually happened. 0
