Well of course everything in Ireland is on the metric system so the kids are having to learn how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, miles to kilometers, pounds to kilograms (or stones). Now this is quite a bit of work for them as it involves all kinds of multiplication and division -- yuck!! As a result they are not always sure how far away something is or what the outside temperature is, however one conversion they have made quickly is from dollars to Euros!! Not that they understand the related value or conversion rate but they have learned to correctly run up to mom or dad and ask " Can I have 5 Euros for....."

Hey Debalski's,
It is great to see you made it and that things are going well. Sounds like a real adventure already. Please post some pictures of where you are living as well. Samuel wants to know if you've seen Bono from U2 yet.
