Inital Life in Athlone
I felt a lot of difference in the life style , Ofcourse it has to be ,Its Ireland and they are Irish....
Week End starts here from Thursday ...People start Boozing Hahaha....
We can see the PUB Culture
We have a Athlone's Spenzer Plaza , Athlone's Forum what ever you call , people here call as Golden Island , it is a Shopping mall in Athlone , If i am right probably it may have not more than 20 shops inside.
TESCO has a branch in Athlone

Saravana Stores of Athlone not exactly but compartively it is cheap.You can get most of the things you require for surviving comfortably.Like Daily Vegtables , Breads, Chicken,Beef , Pork,Cigars,Flowers,Milk,Curd,Biscuits,Choclates,USB Drives,Cookers,Magazines,CDs DVDs..etc.,
Aldi too
This is another Shop like TESCO , but not as big as TESCO, near to out Apartment.
So the Initial Life , for one and half month went just like Exploring , Wondering , Comparing ,Pitying...
....
Since i am bascially from 2nd tier city of tamil nadu (Trichy) , So the transistion to cities (Chennai,Hydrabad and Bangalore) in India was a quite exciting expernice , So why cant a Foreign land , Where a different new people with a different culture !!!!!.
About the Life Style in Athlone
Generally shops open at 10:00 Clock in the morning and closes at 6:00 in the evening , very few late and early shops are visible.
The Reason , may be because
less population
climate is not predicatable (most often cold , windy,rainy ., rarely sun shine)
Here in petrol bunks people themselves have to fill their vechile tanks, self service !!!!!Week End starts here from Thursday ...People start Boozing Hahaha....
