Hi Angelo and welcome to the forum (and the city).

snubbleste

Hey angeloghiotto

angeloghiotto

Thanks!

There is any facebook page , or group about galway city events or something?!

biko

This forum has all the info you need
Read the thread What's On? and just follow the threads people post. Most, if not all, major happenings will be mentioned here.
The Gigs/Events forum will also have postings about band and stuff going on in Galway and around Ireland.
Maybe someone else knows about a facebook page.

Hello, i will need a place to live in galway,i want to rent a room in a house something like that... this is for july... its common in galway?

biko

Please keep all your questions in this thread, it's easier for you and us.

For rooms in a shared house (everyone shares house with other people here) you can look on Daft www.daft.ie/searchsharing.daft
Daft has a discussions board for questions www.daft.ie/discussions.daft too

Thanks a lot for the Help Biko! , Sorry for things i done wrong, you're so helpful!!

Something you could possibly do is check out couchsurfing.org, where you might be able to find some other people that are traveling!

There is/was a big Brazilian population in Gort, a small town less than an hours drive away from the city.
Many work there in the factories.

Little Rio, they even have a carnival festival or used to at least, I think.

I have a lot of family from Gort and a few of them had employed Brazilians to clean their houses and stuff and they rarely had anything bad to say about them. The Brazilians are a great bunch!
Indeed, one of them saved my aunt from having her husbands psycho niece push her down the stairs!

welcome angelo! im sure you will love galway. its really nice place to live. not to big,not too small and friendly people! always things to see and do! you should check out the Galway Cultural Institute www.gci.ie . its in salthill. seems like it would be a good place to meet people of other nationalities,including your own, and learn a bit about galway etc.

angeloghiotto

And what about the clothes? its usual to use caps ( hood ) !? cause here in Brazil we dont use this cause the climate are so Hot all the year.

amy85

its ireland! anything goes you will need your hood alot of the time here. haha

Leeg17

It's basically one night where they celebrate and party before a wedding, boys go and have a stag night and girls have a hen night.

If you're looking for places to go and things to do on a stag/hen night in Galway there's a sticky at the top of the forum for it

angeloghiotto

thanks a lot guy !!!!, It save a lot of time, and save me for shame in the future kkkkkkkkkkkk

Galway

I've tryed to find it on google maps, so i can find the Road , but i cant see where exactly is this house in the road....
There is where i will live for the first month

biko

Sometimes house names aren't show on the map. Is it a private house or a B&B?

There is a B&B with that name on Knocknacarra Rd?
