So I think the Irish slang is pretty funny… like “craic” means fun and “brilliant” or “sound” would be like saying good or thanks to end a conversation. But Irish people thing American slang is even funnier… like “bread” meaning money.
So my mom came to visit for a day… yup just one haha. Instead of shipping the rest of my things (because obviously two suitcases wasn’t enough) she decided to get one a plane and bring my clothes and of course some good ole’ American seasoning. So what did we do in just one day… the most tourist things you can do in Limerick, we headed to King Johns Castle and then the Locke Bar.
Although King Johns Castle was very cool, I have to admit the thing I was most intrigued by was the fact that King John had the castle built and not only ever lived there, but never even saw it. I mean who has that much money? Well I guess Kings haha. I don’t plan on being a queen or anything in my near future… I mean if I became one that’d be pretty cool though… Victory Scholar turned Queen… thats some headline! But if I ever built a castle there’s no chance I’m not living in it with all my lads! But seriously, as we’d say in America… King John must’ve had mad bread!
Oh yeah… my mom never got to see me off on my first day of college any of the four years, but ironically enough she saw me off on my first day of grad school!
