Expanding Worldview - Differing Ways of Living and Being in the World



The pub-culture in Ireland is a huge part of life for the Irish people. Our class got to experience this first hand while staying in Dublin. Each night you could hear loud music and people talking until almost 4 am, even on week nights! It seemed as if Dublin never truly slept. This shocked me, because at home it is socially acceptable to stay out late on the weekends, but it's frowned upon to do so on a week night.

Titanic Museum - Belfast, Northern Ireland

On May 30th we travelled to Belfast, Northern Ireland. While here we visited the Titanic Museum and learned everything there is to know in regards to the Titanic. Such as all that went into constructing the ship, as well as the sinking of the ship. We even got to go on a short ride that mimicked what the workers would have ridden on to get around the construction of the ship.

Cliffs of Moher - Cork, Ireland

On June 4th we travelled to the Cliffs of Moher. Although the weather was not ideal when we arrived, this was still my favorite place that we visited. A few of us took a different path than the rest of the class and I'm so glad that we did, because the view we came across was breathtaking. The walk up was stressful, because it was raining, super muddy/slippery, and there was no fence to walk along. I wish we would have had more time to explore more of the cliffs though!

Aran Islands - Galway, Ireland

On June 2nd we took a ferry to the Aran Islands, where we then took a bus tour around the island. At the end of our trip, we hiked to the top to get a view of the cliff. This was one of the windiest days that we have had, so it was nerve wracking being so close to the edge without the safety of a fence. The view was definitely worth the hike though!
