The time had come and I was off to Portugal for my Erasmus year. I had "my tail in the air" and I was happy to be going obviously with sense of uncertainty. The usual things like family, friends going out and FOOTBALL! all came to mind. As i thought i wouldn't mind being a way and as i left for the plane all i could here is mammy saying "don't forget to ring now" and here's me saying to myself " yea sure no bother" clearly i would be having to good of a time to be ringing home little did i know!
As the weeks went on the more and more i wanted to talk to friends and family. to ring home it was fare to expensive. With a lot of time and effort i got all friends and family on to face book! "sure it was like i never left". I got full match reports on the instant messaging on face book i never missed a result so when friends were in contact i had something to talk about with the response "how did ya know bout tat" "Jayses says i this Facebooks a great job" as time went on it was my best friend it was like i never left home. It was a great way of keeping in connect.
Not only did it help keep in contact at home but with the people we meet abroad askin times to meet up and even now when its all over we are still in contact. However there are some draw backs such as you being tagged in photos when your not in the best of states! also getting abusive comments from friends and family when championship time comes around "He f***s off to Portugal and we have championship to play were did we get him from" hahahaha.
