I planning to travel this summer to England/Ireland, but I don't know which one is better with this points:

1. Work there
2. Share a room
3. Earn money
4. Stay for 2 months (July and August)

What should I choose ? I've never been in any of them. I know someone in Ireland, and I also know 2 people from UK (not there now)

(I think it's Ireland in the photo)

1. North England

2. I'd say England too, but the Irish are (mostly) really friendly people and surprisingly easy to get on with. However in England there's a ton of new flats and houses going up across the board, especially once again in Northern England.

3 & 4. I dunno lol

Also, do you plan on going to southern or northern Ireland, if you do go? Because they are pretty drastically different.

Well, I think London is pretty expensive, but they told me NOT to live IN Manchester, maybe in the surroundings, but I don't have any idea of the cities there.

Also, I know some pages from Ireland where I can search shares and jobs (like waiter or something related). I'm not native english speaker, but I think I could live there with my level.

That's Northern Ireland in the photo - dunno what the building is but the number plates on the cars are NI and the phone number on that sign is for Belfast.

Minimum wage in the republic is €8.65 - you won't get taxed if you're only working for two months (well you might get taxed but you should be able to get back unless it's different for foreigners).

You'll need to get a PPS (Personal Public Service) number to work here. Where are you from? www.citizensinformation.ie might be of help to you regarding that kind of stuff.

Renting can be pretty expensive in Dublin, and to a lesser extent the other cities. If you go to an area normally inhabited by students (who'll be mostly gone for the summer) you can get some place pretty cheap.

What kind of work would you want to do?

Yes, it could be Belfast, but I thought it was in Ireland, sorry about my poor Geography.

I've been told of those PPS number and how to get them (work + house + pps agency = pps = no 40% taxes, right?).

And the job I would like, maybe something without much experience, because I'm studying right now and I don't have time. I could work here, but it could be better to do it in a foreign country so I can learn the language, know other culture, etc. I was thinking as waiter since it's like the basic stuff... I don't see myself selling houses, plumbing, cooking, or anything like that.

Same in Ireland - new shit everywhere. Finding somewhere to stay definately won't be a problem here, especially in/around the cities (all 4 of them lol).

Shouldn't have trouble getting a job in a restaurant, shop, etc., if you can talk as well you can type!

There's a lot of factory work too (especially in the west), but you're probably more likely to learn Polish than English in them. I worked in Dell in Limerick for 7 months - not the worst job in the world but not great either - at least half if not 2/3 of the people working there are foreign nationals!

What could be a reasonable amount of € (or $ is you like) per hour ? Does it depend on the zone of Dublin ?

I wouldn't work in London, staying there while working for two months will be far too expensive.

(Unless you're living in the Rotherhithe YH...)

Well as I said €8.65 is minimum wage here, which is pretty much all you would get working in like a supermarket, factory (depending on what you're doing) or a cafe or something. Since you'll only be working temporarily I wouldn't expect you'd get a lot more than that.

I've never worked/lived in Dublin, but rent would be very high in the city centre compared to the rest of the country.

Oh, definatly move to Hull. It's a great place in the north of England, there are surrounding villages you can live in to commute to Hull.
You could move to Birmingham, that shit is damned good.
I agree somewhat about Manchester, can be a bit of a shithole.
Leeds is good.
Newcastle is good but you won't understand a fucking word anyone says.
You could always move to the far south, Corwall and shit, those are damn nice places.

1. Work there -> North England
2. Share a room -> North England (Around Manchester and up)
3. Earn money (Again, North England.)
4. Stay for 2 months (July and August) (South West England. Purely for Weather.)

Seconded, don't stay in Hull.

Stay in Leeds. Fastest growing city, best city for shopping outside of London, and Yorkshire has the best women.

what about Dundrum ? (Dublin 14)

>>1887
That's still the equivalent of $25 (USD) per hour. Even in Massachusetts, minimum wage is only $9 per hour.

Cardiff isn't in England, you silly person!

Fuck You.

It's never dull in Hull ;).

But in all seriousness, Hull is terrible, not because people will stab you, but because it' just a terrible place to be, it's cold, they're trying and failing to develop it like they did with London, but that just isn't happening, I can reccomend Middlesbourgh (sp?) and North places, if you're okay with cold they're quite nice. Jobs are relatively easy to come by.

Generally, the further out of the centre you go, the cheaper the rates. Not sure about Dundrum, though. There's a big shopping centre in the middle of the place, cinema (girlfriend works there), clothes shops, cafés, bars, clubs, all that jazz.

On the other hand, I live in Manchester. If you were to stay there, well...I'd advise against living near to the city centre. Go for one of the suburban areas, Levenshulme, Bramhall, Hazel Grove, etc. Plenty of mindless jobs available in both places though. Leeds and Sheffield are both alright, too.

My mother and her family (my grandmother, aunts, ect) lived in Hull for a few years. :3

Girlfriend confirmed that Dundrum would probably be expensive, in terms of renting, what with Dundrum becoming the new 'social hub' of Dublin, of late.

You can recommend Middlesbrough?

I'm moving in a few months and that'll be my nearest city.
How's the shopping for a weeaboo like myself? I know they have a Forbidden Planet somewhere, but is there anywhere else?

I'm going to miss Leeds so much... ;_;
