I knew that Dublin, a present-day
European capital city, was going to be very multicultural. But I wasn’t
expecting the amount of cultures and languages that I have found here. As a translator and former student of anthropology (my philosopher days), I find all this very interesting and that's why I feel like writing about it. Because of that and because I can also use the info for academical purposes. Remember I am always open to correction of mistakes and style tips. I start to feel comfortable when writing in English, but I am aiming for improvement here.
