I just did it. Left my family, friends and appartment behind and now I'm immigrant in Ireland!
Was a bit tired of Belgium, so when I got the opportunity to come work here in Dublin I did not have to think long. Will be working as a 'Dutch Technical Support Agent', or in other words 'Customer Service agent for people who have problems with their HP computer'. Most of you will think it's a crappy job, but I didn't come here for the job. The experience of living abroad for a while had me enchanted for years now. I'm glad I took the opportunity when it presented itself.
Anyone with a similar experience (e.a. moving to another country as an adult) or toying with the idea?
Annonyance #1: They have different plugs & power sockets in Ireland, wtf! My new employer sent me 20 pages of information concerning life in Ireland and not once did it mention they have different plugs here!

Good luck, brah.
I am gonna try to get a job there once i'm done with school over here (which unfortunately will be another 1,5 years). I was on vacation in ireland summer 2010 and I've been thinking of moving over there ever since :p
wish you a lot of fun and good luck with the job!
Was that serious?
If you're still there next year then I'd recommend http://electricpicnic.ie/lineup - oh and I also hope you can handle yr guinness. Enjoy brah.
Its kinda sad.
/q dev`Rockskin for a free sleeping place

Study is rather fucking expensive in other country though, perhaps better to start some small business somewhere for me.
Best of luck in Ireland, saw a pint is 4,50 euro there though :/
Need country with some positive economic future !!
Russia cheap place to study but only in Russian language, and I'm not that good with it :(
Ireland cool place, shit economy. UK makes me feel depressed already before going to it.
South-America, Spain and Portugal; languages easier to learn but erghhh... not really good economies either.
USA and Australia damn expensive to study :(
I hope to man the fuck up and move to a country that has a future, or at least one where I can make some money and live a life style I'd like.
I want to got to Australia.
Those are not my sort of people, no. I really don't see myself living over here though after I (hopefully) graduate. If all fails I'll try myself travelling as a barman.
I thought about studying abroad, but in the last few years some things happened that made that impossible atm.
A good friend of my Dad has got a company with and their Asia Department is in HongKong, so I plant on going there to "help out" in their management, like an internship, getting money+flat for it tho.
Want to do that for 7-9Months and after that travel the world (mainly Asia+Australia) for an other 2-3 months, university afterwards.
but all the best to u
I wish I could do the same as you, I mean move to another country and stay there for a while. gl
*grabs popcorn*
you will find out its same shit
I always envy and respect people who dare make that choice!

In Smithfield?
But a second check confirms we're talking about the same street. Will be at Merrion Sq tomorrow morning so I'm going on foot to Henry Street.
Cheers for all the help, saves me a lot of looking around!
#1 priority in Ireland
gl tho
And family is not that far, 1 hour by plane.
About Belgium, well every country has it's problems obviously but my bin was overflowing when it came to Belgium. The politics, the mentality of most people, the super duper multiculturalist politically correct attitude, the treating football fans as animals, it became too much.
In a few months I'll see if I made the right choice or not.
