"The first time I came to Ireland was in 1998.
It was my first time abroad and studying abroad. I'd been in Dublin for one year and had a alovely time with people from Alpha and my host family.
I learnt a lot and made some good friends from different countries (Europe).

After that I became frequent visitor to Ireland. I met a lovely host family and we've known each other for 10 years now. In this decade, I come to Ireland 6 times (I think ;-) ).

I have to say Alpha is a great school. They are very supportive and you don't need to be worry about anything.
If you worry, you die.  If you don't worry, you die!

I came to Dublin on my holiday.  Just on a holiday but my host family invited me for my hostfather's 60 years birthday party. I'm very happy to see them again and some friends from Alpha!"
