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....

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....

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...
