Language & numbers

After arriving to Dublin, we immediately started to look for a proper permanent accomodation, because at first we moved into a temporary one, which was extremely expensive (appr. 2400 € / month)... Although we were supported by a professional orientation team, who showed us plenty of properties, we were searching for the appropriate flat on our own as well. (Most of the time we checked the daft.ie for flats, I think it is the most useful homepage if you want to find a place where to live in Ireland.)

Anyway.

While looking for the perfect flat, we learned that here, prices are not given in the way we were taught at the school... Because. If a flat is let's say 1200 € / month, they say it is twelve hundred instead of saying it is one thousand and two hundred as I would have expected... At first this was pretty unusual, but we soon got used to it.
