Being my hometown, it is interesting to hear what 'outsiders' (I don't mean that in a nasty way!) say about Cork when talking amongst themselves. What people say about the accent, yeah, I have to admit, that didn't come as a huge surprise! Part of me feels a little embarrassed, but there's a part of me that's almost proud! It's true though - the first time I went to London to work, the place I worked had many locals, of course, but many people from all over the World, as well - and it was a bit humbling to note that the English employees could understand the English of the non - native speakers more easily than they could understand me, for whom English is my mother tongue! The accent _is_ challenging, though I suspect it's not _so_ much worse than some other accents from around the British Isles.× Wales... Tyneside (Newcastle)... Birmingham... _Donegal!_ I think the bigger problem is that Cork people tend to talk _VeryVeryFast!_ And yes, as one of the speakers mentioned, we do have a tendency to mumble, also, which even annoys me! It is very telling that the one thing that seemed to exercise _everybody_ was the price of accomodation, and rightly so! It is scandalous that a country of 5,000,000 people, if that, should have such a housing shortage, even notwithstanding that much of Europe seems to be having a bit of a housing crisis at the minute. I've heard that Dublin rents are on a par with Paris and Berlin, with the other Irish cities not far behind - and without wishing to 'do down' Dublin, it ain't no London, or Berlin, or Paris! I have a feeling that this may in fact be a bit of an exaggeration (regarding comparitive accomodation costs)... But it's not _much_ of an exaggeration!! Inevitably, immigration has a part to play in this - and I don't mean that in an unpleasant way, I'm actually glad that Cork is a more cosmopolotan place than it was when I was in my teens in the 1980's (even if some might say the place is as parochial as it ever was!) Nonetheless, though, one has to call it as one sees it! That said, I find it hard to believe that immigration tells the _whole_ story. The history of the government on the issue of property and land development, going back decades, is one that is mired in sleaze and graft, though to get into it is probably outside the scope of a comment such as this. Personally I don't have any experience of the more corporate type of landlords (what I hear about them though is pretty bad!) I can tell you though that either by myself, or with my late wife, I have rented from many 'mom & pop' - type landlords over the years, and almost to a one, they have been _monsters!_ Don't get me wrong, we did have one who was exemplary, and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Also, it wouldn't be telling the whole story if I didn't admit that many tenants are completely lacking in respect for either their landlords or their neighbours! Usually these 'gurriers', as we call them, ie, hoodlums (I wonder does that word have a Spanish etymology, it sounds as if it might do?) are spoiled 'rich kids' from out - of - town who are used to having mummy and daddy pick up the tab for their misdemeanours, and they are the reason that many landlords, as the Uruguayan couple mentioned, are reluctant to rent to younger people. It has to be said though that far too many Irish lanlords, ironically in a country that had such a bad history with heartless British absentee landlords, are the kind of people who come into a little money, perhaps via an inheritance, perhaps from a settlement after a traffic accident or something, and they put the money into property thinking it'll be a nice bit of passive income for them; they subdivide and subdivide, they fill the back garden up with 'chalets', ie, glorified garden sheds, they take out a little ad in the paper and let the sheep come, ready for fleecing! I'm speculating here, but I honestly shouldn't be surprised if some of these places hadn't been bought with money from decidedly dubious sources, and are probably a mechanism for laundering some of these tainted funds, to boot! And when something breaks, or leaks, or fuses, as inevitably it will, there is no point whatever in calling the landlord, because instead of fixing the problem, he or she will, in all probability, try and put the blame for it _on you!_ Unfortunately, it would take too long to relate all the horror stories I've had with landlords here, people probably wouldn't even believe me anyway, so bad are some of them, but excepting the one I mentioned, to a (wo)man they've been all absolute misers, at the very least, if not literal psychopaths - seriously! There was actually one in particular who I think may have been clinically psychotic! As I say, I won't get into the specifics of the horror stories, but I would caution that if you find yourself with a landlord that sounds like this - or even if they don't... just assume when you hand over the security deposit, that you won't be seeing _that_ again! (Do I even have to say, when coming to Ireland for the first time, have plenty of money in reserve to tide you over until you can get a place - and if you have friends already here, take it as a given that you will have to impose on those friendships, bedding down on people's settees, and so on.) Of course landlords perpetrate these sorts of 'shenanigans' because they _can._ Sadly, the Private Tenancy Redress Board (PTRB), with whom all landlords are _supposed_ to register, and whose job it is to adjudicate in disputes, have no legal clout whatsoever! It amazes me to think that I'm old enough to remember a time, not _that_ long ago, either, when Cork (Dublin... Limerick...) had the _opposite_ problem, with streets resembling something out of 'The Wire', full of abandoned council houses just there for the asking, if not actually bricked - up! Of course back then, the joke went "Would the last person leaving the country please remember to extinguish the lights..!" The traffic was very much in the opposite direction then, Irish folks heading for the Costas in search of work. (Of course the nicer weather didn't hurt any, either!) Speaking of bad neighbourhoods, I wouldn't want to give the impression that Cork is a dangerous place compared to other countries (or even perhaps, other Irish cities!) Still and all, it might be wise to exercise care in some of the obviously rougher parts of town, particularly after dark. Not to mention around the City Centre itself on weekend nights, after the clubs empty out, unless things have changed _greatly_ since the 1990's! Also (with the same proviso) young women might find the atmosphere around the Bus and Train Station after midnight to be a little uncomfortable, though I don't think Cork is unique in that regard! Personally, I try to make a habit of having change and small notes on hand, and cigarettes, when walking here in Dublin after dark for when people ask, as they will; and if I was back in Cork, I would do the same. Of course, by the time someone is engaging with you like that it may well be already too late! Some would say it is better not to engage with such people _at all_ - I would counsel against that, though obviously you will want to cut such interactions as short as possible! I hate to say it, but amongst such low - lifes, by whom I mean 'gurriers' - scumbags - _not_ people who are merely homeless - the fact of being a 'foreigner' will _automatically_ place you at a disadvantage... Still, I don't want to give the wrong impression by going out on such a negative note. I spent some of the happiest years of my life in Cork, and hopefully some of you, reading, will too! This was a great video, and I look forward to watching it's Dublin counterpart! ×Though I say 'The British Isles', and though from a strictly geographical standpoint, I wouldn't be wrong, you may find it 'politic' to say 'The UK _and_ Ireland', or 'Britain and Ireland' instead. There's something about the term 'The British Isles' just rubs a lot of Irish people the wrong way!
Ya, si quieres una habitación para ti sol@ de pagar 700€ no baja en la city. Pero bueno, es una cantidad asumible acorde a los sueldos de aquí. Buscar alojamiento es un poco pesadilla, pero quien la sigue la consigue. Para mí tiene estructura de ciudad enana, pero tiene todo lo que necesitas. Bonita no es, pero los alrededores de Cork sí lo son, Cobh, Kinsale, Clonakity, etc, son bonitos y no están muy lejos de la city. Llevo 5 meses aquí, y la verdad es que no me desagrada, puedes tener calidad de vida, alquiler asumible y ofertas algunas ofertas culturales interesantes de vez en cuando. Si quieres sobrevivir a largo plazo, se debería pensar en comprarse un coche xD
Hola, cuantos minutos se hace de Cobh al centro de Cork en transporte publico? Cuanto cuesta el pasaje desde esa localida? vale la pena vivir asi lejos, estudiar y trabajar en el centro, con la nota de la lluvia? gracias si te animas a responder! :)
@@Fuiape Yo cuando vivía en Cobh normalmente tardaba 25-30 mins en autobús, aunque también hay tren y es más rápido y hay más frecuencias. Eso sí, ten en cuenta que es caro aunque uses leap card. Yo gastaba una media de 120-150€/mes en transporte cuando vivía ahí para trabajar en Cork City y la vida social que hago en la ciudad. Pero los alquileres están más asequibles y el pueblo es precioso (aislado pero bien comunicado con Cork a la vez). Espero que te sirva ☺️
Ah, el pasaje cuesta 4€/viaje (bus o tren), pero hay ofertas de 10 viajes por 22€ y con eso cubres la semana, creo que también hay bonos mensuales de tren (depende de la zona de Cobh en la que vivas te conviene más el tren o el bus) yo usaba mucho el bus porque lo tenía a 4 mins la parada. Y respecto a lo de la lluvia, siempre chaqueta y zapatos waterproof por si a caso, puedes ver las 4 estaciones en un día 😝
Hola,que tal!. Tengo una pregunta para alguien que sepa.Si una persona busca alojamiento o alquiler bien alejado de la ciudad (Cork), digamos Schull o algo alejado del centro repito.Existen mono-ambientes para alquilar 1 sola persona o vayas donde vayas deberás compartir?.
El tema es que en Irlanda en general hay casas y son muy grandes. Sobre todo si salis del centro y te vas al country Side, vas a encontrar casas grandes y vas a tener que compartir porque los precios son elevados. Espero haberte aclarado tu duda.
yo estuve un mes en Cork, verano de 1996;hospedado con una familia en la que me senti un estorbo, ignorado por todos. Con la compañía de un matrimonio y de su hija; el padre(profesor de Mates) dándome clases en mi tiempo libre(un coñazo) pero lo poco que pude disfrutar de la ciudad de Cork me gustó mucho.
Hay unas youtubers de América latina, que viven en cada ciudad: Andrea Ron en Cork,e Itzi en Dublin, por si alguien quiere abrir más información de las ciudades. Aunque parecen no tener tanto problema, ambas están bien contentas parece, y han hecho familia con sus parejas que ya traían de sus países, pero sí dicen que el costo de conseguir vivienda temporal o permanente es lo peor.
Yo estoy en Cork pero no puedo comparar la ciudad con Dublin ya que nunca viví en Dublin. Lo del alquiler es horrible, buscando se encuentra pero necesitas mucha paciencia y dinero
Qué tal Mark, Me comentan que alquilar en Dublin sigue siendo una locura, compartiendo habitación con más personas...me recomiendas Cork? Gracias x tu canal!
Te recomiendo Cork si buscas una ciudad más tranquila, la complejidad para encontrar sigui estando allí, pero definitivamente es menos difícil que en Dublín 😄👍
For whatever it may be worth, the rental scene in Galway has always been notorious; and based on personal experience, I would have to concur with that.
Hola Marc crees que se pueda recuperar el dinero invertido en el curso de inglés trabajando solo 20 hrs en Cork?, ya que pediré el dinero como prestamo al banco y tendría que pagarlo por mensualidades :,)
The law of supply and demand would suggest different! Also, rents in Galway are worse, and Galway is significantly smaller than Cork (although one might say that that is a point in support of your argument.) Of course, Galway is a 'college town'... so is Cork, but it is big enough, like Dublin, to have a more diverse economy. Being the Capital, though, one would naturally expect Dublin to have higher rents. Limerick, traditionally, wouldn't have been seen as a particularly academic centre and the city's economy would have had a more industrial base; also, unfortunately, Limerick was blighted with high crime for many years. Lately that city _is_ coming to be known as a centre of academic excellence and the Gardaí (cops) have had a lot of success in breaking up the gangs, but rents are still significantly lower there than in other Irish urban centres. PS - I _do_ think it is absolutely scandalous that rents are so high in a country with such a small population (c. 5,000,000) I'm no economist, but I would have been inclined to expect that a sparse population would have implied modest rents, but obviously there are a lot of factors involved. As somebody else in the comments pointed out, a big part of the problem is the 'wrong' sort of housing (and often too far out of town, cf, the notorious 'ghost estates' of the noughties); like, the country needs to increase it's stock of housing of _all_ sorts, but especially with rapidly changing demographics, the proportion of homes for single people and couples, as compared to the 'default' three bedroom family house needs to rise, sharply. Also, because the stock of private, rented accomodation has for so long tended to be so squalid, and with the lack of any kind of fixity of tenure, people have traditionally aspired to owning a home of their own, viewing the private - rented sector for anything other than on a strictly temporary basis with disdain. Also, because the quality of tenement housing has historically been so bad (contrast this with Scotland), as has been the country's few experiments with public sector high and medium rise blocks of flats, the public have tended to have an antipathy to apartment living, especially given that in spite of the country now being one of Europe's most urbanised, until about the 1950's, living in the city _at all_ tended to be the exception, rather than the norm. In fact, other than in Belfast (which of course is in _Northern_ Ireland), even _terraced_ housing is something of a rarity. There are all sorts of reasons for this, some of which I've mentioned, but also including the involvement of the Catholic Church in housing policy; less out of a concern with overcrowding in itself, as one might suppose, but from a fear that living in close quarters might lead to Communistic tendencies, and worse, sexual 'impropriety'. Seemingly the irony of families of as many as 18 children living in 3 bedroom council houses, although an improvement on conditions in the tenements, was lost on them! The main reason, however, was of course that the industrial revolution, other than in and around Belfast, and the resultant need for tightly packed housing within walking distance of the mills and factories, had passed Ireland by. As a result, the standard 'go~to' in Ireland has been the semi~detached 3 or 4 bedroom house, often with as much as a quarter of an acre of garden. (Sorry, I'll leave it for you to work out what that is in hectares!) The result of this has been something highlighted in the video - cities and towns with compact and historic cores, but with sprawling suburbs, in spite of typically modest populations. Coupled with the State's chronic under~investment in public transport, the result has been cities that in some ways have more in common with what one finds in the US, rather than with their Continental European, or even British, counterparts... Recent generations of Irish people have been much more willing to entertain the concept of living in apartments (if only by dint of necessity?!) but the developers, let alone the local authorities, have been unable (planning red~tape, and the ever~present objectors) or unwilling (the hoarding of land banks on urban fringes) to keep pace, and the quality of what is being built, and the management of what _is_ built tends to be as slipshod as what went before..! Anyway, I realise that this 'dissertation', for which you didn't ask(!) 😔 doesn't really answer your point (like I say, I'm no economist!) other than to say that, like most things, "It's complicated..!" Just some observations, for what they may be worth!

Recent generations of Irish people have been much more willing to entertain the concept of living in apartments (if only by dint of necessity?!) but the developers, let alone the local authorities, have been unable (planning red~tape, and the ever~present objectors) or unwilling (the hoarding of land banks on urban fringes) to keep pace, and the quality of what is being built, and the management of what _is_ built tends to be as slipshod as what went before..!
Anyway, I realise that this 'dissertation', for which you didn't ask(!) 😔 doesn't really answer your point (like I say, I'm no economist!) other than to say that, like most things, "It's complicated..!" Just some observations, for what they may be worth!

Muy mala calidad de audio
Discrepo. Debe ser algo de tus dispositivos
Es cierto, especialmente en la intro, si el micro te falla es lo que hay 🤷🏻♂️
El audio está ok. Evidentemente no pasaste el minuto de video, solamente le falla un poco en la intro por el ruido de tráfico y viento filtrado y la distancia del mic, el resto está 10/10.
That's deliberate - he's trying to acclimatize people to what it will be like, trying to understand the locals! 😉
