Why I love Ireland and miss it dearly.....
1) You can spend hours chatting about meaningless things and enjoy the conversation...The Irish will share all sorts of info other than their private life.
2) Irish are the best story teller, there is always a story about " my brothers friend" or "somebody I know" ....it's always entertaining.
3) If you are bored in a Taxi, you can always wind up the ...taxi drivers by innocently asking "what's the taxi regulations in Ireland like?"
4) The Garda are mostly tall, dark and handsome ;)
5) They have the best carrots in the world..... Super sweet...
6) You can be silly after 8.30pm and nobody cares
7) Its okay if you are a little bit nosy....
8) You can answer most question with " ahh sure" , "well, you know" and "that's fair enough" and people will leave you alone...
9) You can say anything you like if you start with "with all due respect..."
10) You can swear anytime, anywhere and to almost anybody, it's not rude...
11) Some best advice "sure what can you do about it", " you'll be grand, just throw it in the wash" or "all you need is good old soap and water", "sure..one can only try"
12) You can talk to anyone if you start with "top of the morning to ye", "did you see the spittin' rain yesterday", "are you alright love?", " nice weather today"
13) People put in effort to find a common ground with you.. The most common one I get is... "You are from Malaysia? Do you know there is a Malaysian restaurant out on Baggot Street"
14) Be miserably lost if you ask for directions unless you know pub locations and walk as fast as the Irish. 5 min walk means 15 min for Malaysian time.
15) You don't have to answer when some ask you " how are you", you can just ask them back the same question.... No one cares for your life story, it's just politeness to start conversation...
16) People understand love and passion.
17) Strong family values and traditionalist at heart when it involved families.
18) You can get out of trouble by just keeping your heads down....
19) Weather forecast are there just because every other country have it, it doesn't give much useful information, other than Martin King congratulating people for their birthday
20) If you can take, you can give slagging...
21) You'll get away with any statement if you say " I'm only joking"
22) It's a very social and lively country... I love it!
