An aside, but why did you move from Ireland to the US? I'm semi-seriously considering moving to the UK or Ireland, not out of any "argh america is literally hitler, i'm out" impetus, but to be closer to my girlfriend's family and for adventure.
- donohoe 13y agoThe short (and unhelpful) answer is that I didn't intend to move here. I came here for a long vacation of sorts (quit dev job in Ireland, swore never work in IT again, first stop on taking a year out to travel the world...). I was at a point where I'd over-stayed tourist visa and was getting ready to move on and then I met a girl...
- mjolk 13y agoThanks for the response; still a helpful answer.
- mercer 13y agoSo it goes! I don't know why it surprises me, but a sizable portion of the expats here in Berlin originally came for a guy/girl.
