Hello !! My name is Romain !!! I’m 21 years old and I live in Paris in France. I am currently in my third year of school of management called EMLV at La Défense.
First of all I lived in Amsterdam for 6 months with the Erasmus program from August to January, it was an incredible experience where I met lot of foreign students and where I improved my level of English. Now I have to do an internship for 4 months in Cork at the marketing department in the company “EazyCity”. I’m very happy to work in this department because I would like to specialise in this sector. Moreover Eazycity is a company with a great expansion and I think I will do lots of interesting projects.
I would like to share with you my first impressions about Cork:
When I arrived in Ireland the first thing that shocked me was the bad weather, in fact there is lot of wind and rain every time and it’s not normal for me to have this kind of weather but it’s just a detail!
It was a great surprise to see that Irish people are very friendly, if you are lost or you need something, they will always try to help you.
I drank very good beers in Amsterdam and here beers are also good, if you are a beer enthusiast it’s the place where you have to go!
Moreover Cork is the second biggest city in Ireland after Dublin, but to me it’s a little cute town with a very good ambience during the night. In fact, Cork is also a city where a lot of students live, for example I’m living in a house close to the center with 10 other students who are here to work or to practice their English. But you can imagine that during the weekend students want and like to go out.
Why Cork is a good city to work in or to visit?
Firstly, if you want improve your level of English it’s a very good place to do that, in fact it’s not too difficult to understand Irish people even if you have a bad level of English. Moreover, the life is not too expensive and the food is good.
If you are a student you have to come because living with lot of students is a great experience to develop your English and yourselves.
To finish there are beautiful landscapes where nature dominates.
See you maybe in Cork!! Bye !
