After 5 years, the nice taste wasn't the same for it has lost its flavour after many waves of immigration which have occured since 2000. I did not want to forget this flavour and be disgusted for good, I wanted to leave Ireland with a good memory all of the people I had loved, all the dream like vision of its landscape and of what Eire had brought to my life.<BR/><BR/>I did not want to leave the country in tears as I landed there in tears because of too much cultural differences - my fault I suppose, I had always wanted to visit Ireland. I couldn't guess that I would live there for a long time ! - I wanted my tears to be for a loving one ( as I consider Eire to be a " person " ) and not for sadness. I'm quite happy to keep all this love deep in my heart and recollect it when I hear a sad Irish tune or a happy one to make me realized how my life had been wonderful and thanks to the confidence Ireland has given to me, my life can still be wonderful because of Irish wonderful natures who had blessed me with amazing and great humanity.<BR/><BR/>Some Irish would say " Oh well, thank God you went back to your fucking country, you fucking foreign bitch ", but still... Your people had undergone a great deal of troubles throughout the centuries and still have to undergone the split of your country, but all of you have not lost their humanity and I hope and I pray to your God that you will never lose it.<BR/><BR/>Togé go bogé,<BR/><BR/>N** Murphy from Rossaveal, as a loving ederly person used to call me this way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
