Fellow Nor'n Irelander here! Do u feel better recognised/appreciated for your fame in the USA than you did at home?

Has there been any weird cultural adjustments for you? When I was living in the States I sometimes felt that most US folk didn't really get the NI dark sense of humour... do you find that your humour gets a different reception in person?

We do tend not to talk about our achievements in NI - What's it like telling people what you do?

Also, do you miss home or do you prefer the US? Is there anything you miss from here in particular?

Yeh I know exactly what you mean... all my US friends would do the 'hollah!' and 'hey girlfriend!' stuff and I would just shake my head... they did NOT get why I didn't think it was awesome!

Deff the appeal of home is always the pull of the Emerald Isle! Any time I've flown home I've always got a window seat to await our greenish/brownish fields (depending on the time of year) to appear and I get all wistful and happy! I'm a Belfast Girl, so as soon as I see a Harp ad, I know I'm home!!

So do you think you'll stay in the States for good? Do you get anything posted over from here? My crazy grannie use to freeze me potato bread and wrap it in a few layers of tin foil and post it - by the time it arrived it was ready for frying! (Just a wee tip if you need it! because let's face it, there is no breakfast, like the Ulster Fry!)
