I think wives adhere to a strict standard of behaviour with respect to their hubbies' cars

Yes and No

yes ( able to get by) and no not fluent?

I believe like in EIRE there are many dialects and "OLD" and "new" language

There are several "layers" of language and I tried to study but was too busy at work

I get by given the missus is a local and I don't really have to go anywhere/do anything too complicated.

Ok BF didnt know about the missus being local...
but is it better or worse to live there ?

Better for us, given our situation (expat, wife's parents live nearby, etc), but not sure it'd suit everyone.

yes i suppose its a bit different in your case. Why do you think it wouldn't suit everyone. I am curious about the concept of living there eg Ireland used be a nice place to live up to "THE CELTIC TIGER" came and made most people think of what they can own and how much money they could make for themselves. It used be a friendly place where you could go anywhere (almost) and be safe. It is not such a safe palce now.

I think it may not suit everyone as the Japanese are not particularly easy to deal with and without knowing the language, you tend to float around other expats and foreigners/mixed-couples and live a fairly secluded life.

But I can only hope to stay here as long as possible as I was sick of living in London.

Time to brush teeth mate


BRB

I am back

Had a almond roll (tasty but sugary as heck!) this morning and had to go and brush my teeth, I could feel them rotting away

At least you dont take them out to clean

Almond rolls ya mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm love almond .

At xmass i always ate the almond paste instead of the cake

But it seems like that the irish (not me as i'm not a bar person) go on holidays to get away from things and where do they end up? in irish pubs talking to the irish

i like to find local areas off the beaten track/tourist area and see how the locals live....

Ant way BF my son is gone to bed before me which is a rare thing.

so i am almost falling asleep.

Nite BF . Now im at 1% of your posts
