    The Irish have never been known to be grumpy. You’re confusing Irish culture with British culture. Cead mile failte is Irish for "a hundred thousand welcomes.”
    Misinformation the language for the first time is growing in the country because of technology. The West Coast, and in the north there areas called Gaeltachts where Gaeilge/Irish is spoken as the primary language, it’s not a dead language.

    Nice review. I would check out the Croke Park Museum if you come again and learn about the GAA and Gaelic games. They are our national sport and more popular than rugby. You mention about the lack of car garages, you don't really need one. Most trips in the city are made by walking, cycling and public transport (about 72% in 2019).

    • @landonkissell
      @landonkissell  6 месяцев назад

      I will definitely add Croke Park Museum to my list for when I return. I love sports so being able to learn more about GAA and Gaelic games would be terrific. And makes sense with the cars. It is such a walkable city and public transport seemed super efficient. I loved how the buses were also on time and you could easily track them. 72% is such a high number which is great to see. I wish it was that easy in the US.

    I wish vloggers like yourself would stop including Temple Bar as something to do in Dublin. It's a tourist trap and way overpriced. Pints have gone over €10. Perhaps you're better off mentioning areas like Camden St, Baggot St, or Thomas St. It's otherwise a decent video.

      My goal is to show the most well known parts of cities, even if it is sometimes "a little bit of a tourist trap" so I can give people a full comprehensive look on each city without leaving out anything. During the part on temple bar I mention that I think visitors should walk through here but avoid coming for a meal as there are so many other places across the city that are better (and have better prices) such as the area you mentioned😊

      haha well I wouldn’t say I was complaining. I think it’s an important observation to point out for someone who may be unfamiliar with weather there. I still had such a great time though!
