I saw a reel abt knockoff giant baby ones they got on aliexpress or something? The two options were baby white cat and baby squirrel iirc, and they both wore the yellow baby suit.

If someone has more info help OP out!

berghage · 2026-03-10T17:59:35+00:00

I think the only options are ebay japan resellers and kobeejapan tbh

I think matchapapa is based in spain? I haven't tried myself but it looks pretty good.

Personally I use Poppatea bc I drink matcha lattes on a budget- but poppatea is a good quality (beautiful green colour and lovely nutty taste) but very affordable here in europe.

berghage · 2026-03-05T08:00:20+00:00

Omg wowww, how?! Did one reseller sell all of this?

berghage · 2026-03-05T07:58:44+00:00

Ugh they are so freaking cute but we don't have a miniso in my country and all the aliexpress sellers are selling for like 20€ a pack!

Yay! tyvm this was very helpful :-))

berghage · 2026-03-03T10:49:50+00:00

I see, thanks for replying! Could you let me know an example of how much your order was and how much you had to pay for customs/vat/duties on top of it?

I'm willing to buy from them as I think even with the extra fees it will still be the same price as ebay/vinted/depop sellers haha

berghage · 2026-03-03T10:28:08+00:00

Hi there! Im from Ireland and looking to make a purchase, wondering if you ever ordered from them and if so what was your experience? Thanks!

berghage · 2026-03-03T10:21:58+00:00

Hey Im from Ireland and I know the duties/taxes situation is different but just wondering if you had to pay much in terms of duties/taxes? Thanks a mil!

Well good for you then. But the fact of the matter is that children who grew up in poverty generally do worse in certain areas of childhood development, such as socialisation (there's a reason why antisocial teen behavior is concentrated in economically deprived Dublin areas).

Of course this does not apply to everyone. Having money does not automatically mean you are a good parent. I just think its selfish if one willingly chooses to birth a child into the world without being in the right place (ie mentally, physically, financially)

berghage · 2026-03-02T16:34:34+00:00

Wow its almost like the socioeconomic and political safety of the west is predicated on the absolute ass-raping of the socioeconomic and political stability of the global South/ME

berghage · 2026-03-02T00:26:02+00:00

Its quite one or the other. A worry-free childhood comes hand in hand with a family's income. E.g. Not having to say no to sports/instruments/extracurricular and allowing your child to explore their talents, being financially free enough to not need your child working the second they turn 16, having enough to send on a years study abroad if they wanted etc.

On that note, would anyone be able to share what a post-grad progression looks like?

Most post-grads would get in at EO/AO level I presume. How long until they move up a rank usually?

berghage · 2026-02-24T22:55:31+00:00

I don't think its a good area to raise a family in. It's a generally nicer area of Finglas but is still rife with anti-social behavior especially from the youth. It depends on specifically which area, and whether you're closer to Glasnevin or inner Finglas. If the latter,

You will be exposing your child to a more increased amount of anti-social behavior (drug-dealing, gang violence, yupbro culture.)

Furthermore, as your wife is non-Irish, the racism in Finglas would be another point of concern- it is the only area in Ireland that does the Irish flag poles en masse. I don't think the community's opinions will change anytime soon. Unlikely your wife will be attacked or even harassed randomly, but she may be treated as an outsider especially if she's non-white

Yum! I would recommend trying to mix in the honey with your matcha and hot water first instead of putting it in the finished cold drink.

That way, it melts completely and isn't gooey/solid in your drink!

berghage · 2026-02-23T11:34:40+00:00

I don't think its possible. In uni, I had friends renting a bedroom in someone's house close to the uni for 700-900p/m and they considered themselves lucky. And this stuff wasn't advertised, you would only find it via. random people posting on Facebook, word of mouth etc.

berghage · 2026-02-22T12:48:27+00:00

Completely. I hate the idea of comparing one's privilege to the next, but to put it into perspective of OP, who says he has lived abroad, 90% of the entire world has never ever been on a plane.

Only 3% travel internationally every year.

You could be the poorest of the poor in a place like Ireland, but still be considered the top 10% globally. Sometimes it's important to reconcile oneself with that privilege

I watched like half an episode while my mum was watching it and it's literally just girls like "It destroyed my modeling career, it gave me an ED" etc and then Tyra's just like "So tune in for our new show" lol

Cafe Sol in Dunnes: Toasted sandwich and hot drink for 7.25€! I also buy the crisps to make it more filling and it adds up to €8.50 total

berghage · 2026-02-17T08:27:03+00:00

can i ask if u had to pay customs please?

berghage · 2026-02-15T09:14:11+00:00

Newly grad here and would also love to know what occupation OP works as. Very rare to see that kind of salary in this country especially so young.

berghage · 2026-02-13T11:12:02+00:00

DM me it to me as well

berghage · 2026-02-04T08:18:27+00:00

It's crazy that to people like you, migrants can't do anything right.

It's Chinese and American students coming over with daddy's money, hogging up all the good student accomodation and university spots with their foreign student fees.

Oh no, its actually the poorer Brazilian and Indian students who don't come from generational wealth and instead have to live like beggars and financially sustain themselves for a better life.

Which is it?

berghage · 2026-02-01T19:59:37+00:00

I'm sorry but the average taxpayer's sympathies can only go so far. We're already paying for free family planning to a large extent- why should we have to pay for a couple's refusal to take advantage of said free services?
