Two Wrongs Making It Right

Hello Hello,

We have arrived !
We are now in an internet cafe in Dublin looking for appartments and checking our mail (how people actually live without internet we do not know).

Our arrival yesterday was disappointing to say the least. These relocators were really not doing a good job (HP have an external company handle all the relocations for them). But hey, we should be getting used to that since nothing seems to ever go right when we move or do just about anything.

Despite the problems of yesterday we have a good feeling about this place and think we'll have a good time here. No more French stiffness !
This morning we got on the bus and when we wanted to buy tickets realized you had to have the exact change, the driver just took off (without throwing us out first) and said not to worry, asked how much we have and when we told him we only and euro bills (notes in English), he said it wasn't a problem. We then asked him where to get out for the city centre and he just called us when we were there and pointed out to us the main shopping street and another street which has good restaurants and gave us a street map (probably his map because it was used, definitely not some stock he has in the bus...).
The chances of this happening to you in Paris, or anywhere else in France are very close to nil.

We'll keep you posted.
