As Mexican I guess I won’t have much problems with Irish culture. I was in Dublin just a few days and I loved it. Irish are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met
I love Mexico and Ireland/Scotland both. I'm planning a trip to Ireland & Scotland net year to enjoy the land of my ancestors, but my absolute favorite food will always be Mexican food-and beer!
Common courtesy isn't taught these days. Simple warm greetings whether in person, or on the phone, like "Good afternoon", etc. Simple "Thank you" and "Please". Courteous responses to questions, while looking at people in the eye. Opening the door, ESPECIALLY for ladies, and elderly people! It's all about proper upbringing, and breeding. Sadly, these things are minimized in homes, and in school.
you cannot really ask for a "best price" in every shop but some shops will tell you they will match the price of competitors so if you lookup online what it costs in any other irish retailer then you can go to your nearest shop and say..."listen, this item costs this and that in shop xy, can you match that?". if you're lucky they will sell it even cheaper than it costs in the other shop.
@@robotleaves i was not working directly in Harvey and had no access to making discounts or do anything with prices. I was just helping people out with specs and choosing the right product. But there were not big discounts. Guys could give 10 or 20 or sometimes up to 50 euro discounts on products that cost a few thousand euro. So nothing big
Got my fridge tenner cheaper than in the states before shipping. I'm the only one in my village with a fridge that has an ice machine yoke in it, and twas cheaper than my neighbour's fridge which is half the size. Yup Harvey Norman.
Sounds like my kind of people, looks like I'd fit well with the Irish. The Irish guy I met via skype from Dublin was super friendly. Being considerate of ones' feelings is a good trait I admire.
Very cool your channel. I did an exchange in Dublin for 6 months. I really liked your country and I miss so much Dublin. I am Brazilian and I really want to go back to Ireland.
I had a Brazilian friend who lived in Ireland for about 4 years, the guy worked about 3 jobs always working getting money, he returned to Brazil and opened his own restaurant and bought a house with the money he made now has a beautiful wife and 2 kids. He returned home about 6 years ago.
Irish people are direct in a non direct way...it's part of the culture ..to mock oneself is common in Irish culture too... Now that times have changed however due to tech, I think the characters we saw growing up will be few on the ground Nice video , thumbs up 👍👍
I don’t know Sky Theatric - when you leave Dublin and The Pale you find yourself in a different country still with its own cultural identity. Please God it will never die.
It's good to hear views about living in Ireland from residents of other cultutes/nationalities. Having lived in mainland Europe most of my life I appreciate a direct straightforward honest response. Simply saying its grand and not challenging or disagreeing when called for doesn't help anybody. The same as not challenging or calling out poor service in shops and ho restaurants
@@AMEditionYT Ur young,and I'm sure u have plenty of living to be done!But I can assure u,wherever u go in this world u will meet nice& not so nice.people! .Cultural differences, practices,expressions,manner's,so many things may vary,but in most country's a smile,a "Nod" of ur Head,a "Thumbs up" can carry the day!!. And as for u considering Irish or British people being very sensitive!.Well maybe in this particular "PC"Culture,speak and language, we find ourselves being swamped, but things may have changed? .But in my experience Irish ☘️ people were never considered "Shrinking Violets"but maybe in the last two decades a certain mindset and transformation has taken place?? .And I will add and advise u of this,I do think some people find it a little rude or at least disingenuous ,or maybe they feel it is lacking in gratitude,when any Foreigner decides to make a Video,(when they haven't been living in the country that long)about the very country which has opened it's doors and granted them a brand new opportunity and life experience!! ..Of course the Video should try and maintain it's integrity,but like it or not,the responses it receives,can easily depend on the Messenger or it's Producer,who will of course find themselves on the receiving end of the responses it provokes!. .ps..And I'm speaking as someone who doesn't live in Ireland,but whose parents are from, Cahirciveen,County Kerry!!...But I do hope as time goes by u scone more acclimatized to ur surroundings,which should happen!
I've lived in Ireland for the past 15 years, plus 10 years in the 70's and 80's. I've never heard of anyone bargaining in a store for a fridge or TV here.
Interesting to here someone's view from outside Ireland. It is common to be honest and straight forward when you become close friends. An Irish joke is that you can tell the friends in going away party as they are the ones who are saying "I hope they never come back". Where I come from being honest and straight forward is for those you trust and know. It is a weird custom. But once an Irish person starts missing with you are being honest you know you are friends 😂.
good points mate but I just smell rudeness all over this woman. not Irish being sensitive but many people will get offended for things like calling Ireland the Uk. it's like go call a Portuguese Spanish, calling a Korea Chinese. the worst part is she didn't sound apologizing at all. instead she's just explaining why that's normal for her to do so. when you go and live in another country it's common sense to learn some basics of the country
Actually, the "negatives," are not negative, in my opinion. "Too sensitive" and "having to be polite to everyone," and not being blunt is how I operate... I am an honest person, but I have found a way to be direct and polite. That sounds delightful.
I'm glad you pointed out that Irish people sugarcoat things. I'm Irish but live in Germany and have become much more direct when I talk to people. It avoids all the "pussy footing" around people. One good thing about seeing the grass from the other side
Thank you for sharing! 😊 How did you find your experience of becoming more direct? I really like the balance between being direct and taking in consideration people's feelings at the same time. 😊 I watched plenty of webinars and went to many training sessions to learn more about efficient communication. Found them very helpful!
@@AMEditionYT it was liberating! Lol! It just means that you know where you stand and the other person too. I'm not going to be impolite just because I want to be direct.
@@nroess9465 oh...Didn't mean to say anything about being impolite 🙈 there are no excuses for this. I know it's just adapting to a different way of communication 😊
@@AMEditionYToh I know you didn't mean anything by that. I just tried to say that by being direct it doesn't mean you can forget your manners. Sometimes when you'd hear someone being direct without considering the other person, you do wonder what happened their manners. But hey we're all different. If we were all the same this would be a very boring world to live in
@Leon Erin it can throw you a bit when you first hear it. You think they're very insulting but I've learned not to care what others think of me and then when they say something very direct it makes me laugh. Phoney "niceness" drives me mad. You can smell it a mile off
Good advice: if you immigrate to a different country it is a common curtesy to get to know it’s history and culture - this is the reference to your point about giving yourself more time to adapt . If you spent some time on studying the culture and history of Ireland before coming you will feel that you adapt better and quicker. This is also to do with the point you mentioned about people being insulted that you call Northern Ireland UK...the knowledge of culture and history would have helped you understand why...you said that you like studying and you spend a lot of time studying different things...it’s a shame you chose not to study about Ireland before going there...
Ann Marie. I made a couple of vlogs in Chisinau. Met some really nice people there and had a great time. Just found this channel and enjoying it. We're happy to have you here
Thanks Anna for clearing up the UK north of Ireland issue I was one of the people that left a comment in your video and I'm very happy you cleared that up 👍 I enjoy your channel
You say people are sensitive after you made your drawbacks to living in a country they are when your spreading misinformation about it. I agree with you on a few things. You said nothing happens outside Dublin you need to Travel around more outside Dublin go to a big city in a county before you Make a assumption like that. You say people don't look after there houses not the entire population there is some. Not all people who get social welfare from government don't want to work some people its temporarily till they find a job. It can be cheaper to rent outside Dublin. Do you your research next time before you post incorrect information.
Jaysus you're very sensitive. She's giving her own experience of living in the country. Everyone who lives here has different assumptions and experiences.
Leon Erin Irish people _are_ sensitive. By the same token we are, in general, particularly good at diplomacy. Diplomacy is a virtue that requires a natural sensitivity. There is a fine line between uttering objective critical thinking and being downright offensive. I've known some spectacularly rude people who tried to excuse their behaviour by claiming "I'm just telling the unvarnished truth" as if somehow that's always a virtue. It's not. There's a time for the unvarnished truth, a time for diplomatic truth, a time for keeping the truth to yourself ... and, in Ireland, a time for flinging the truth around in a good slagging session. This has nothing to do with wokeness. It has to do with knowing how to strike the right balance. Sensitivity is not a characteristic I think Ireland should lose. There's enough blunt speaking around the world. You'll find it in every trouble spot and warzone. We don't need to add to it. So, long live Irish sensitivity! 😁😁😁🇮🇪
Leon Erin I'm 100% in favour of the art of slagging. It's a great traditional Irish bonding method. There should be no place for gratuitous rudeness and no place for political correctness either. The middle road is always the best route. I repeat, I was not criticising Ana-Maria. Yes, Irish people always worry about how they are perceived abroad and so they should. That perception is our brand and we trade on our brand. If Irish football fans go around the world serenading foreign police women or changing tyres for elderly drivers and the following week there are two butters on the shelf in, say, France - one Irish Kerrygold and the other also a foreign import - which one do you think the French shopper will choose? Image _is_ important. There's a big difference between critical thinking and just whining like teenagers about everything or washing our dirty linen in public. If you keep announcing to the world that you're a piece of crap eventually the world will believe you ... and it _won't_ admire you for your critical thinking!
Leon Erin Picking up rubbish for the cameras is cringeworthy? So what. It worked. What I find really old and tiresome is people choosing to be angry all of the time; believing that they are in a position to criticise others because they think they are superior all of the time; and - most irritating of all - whining all of the time. The bulk of the world's population live tough lives and have to deal with really serious issues, none of which include feelings about cringeworthiness.
Hey Ana-Maria. I hope you dont mind but i would like to just give my opinion on the Irish been sensitive.😂🤷🏼♂️I honestly taught this was a skit title. I grew up in Ireland, moving to America at 20 to follow my dream of breeding horses in the American Midwest. (Yep, it came to pass but Catholic roulette gave us more PERFECT kids than perfect full bred Friesians🤣)Anyway, the level of sensitivity i found while driving all over Europe as a teen, from Uk, FR, Spain, Portugal, Germany, & all the eastern member states was next to none, from 96 - 00. Ireland today is at the level i found then, even in America. You said this is based on comments online, that ppl dnt have the balls to say it in public. 1st, may i suggest that trolls will argue bout that the world is flat, so nothing new here. 2nd, may i suggest that ppl in Ireland, this tiny Island don’t see you & think, “Oh look, its the lady from the internet. Lets confront her.” And this is for 2 reasons, they dont know u & we respect privacy in Ireland so ppl wont just roll up on ye for pointing out what you dont like🤦🏻♂️, but the main reason is that those small few sensitive ppl are typical of any city, country in the free world. Ana, after 2 years & 400K views, you got 2000+ comments & most are very respectfully disagreeing with almost all of what you said (Ireland is not Dublin) but they do it in the most respectful manner. Is it possible that you’re wrong? Let’s ask some other visitors like you: th-cam.com/video/pssNEDh0p5g/w-d-xo.html The only thing i disagree with is how he interprets what we dont like about America. We love the freedoms of states like TX & my homestate, Oklahoma, but we do not like how some presidents & congress men/women will call out our little island for “Global warming” while not mentioning places like China. And when the president did point this out 4 yrs ago, he was called racist. Am i wrong to say this makes no sense? Anyway, you’ll see what i mean. Enjoy Americans in Dublin🇮🇪🇺🇸🇺🇦👌🤠🔱🙏
It's so interesting to hear foreign people describe your own culture because they notice things we just take for granted lol I couldn't imagine not holding a door or saying thank you to people and yes definitely children are taught to say please and thank you but I thought everyone done this
I didn’t know you could ask for best price in a shop... and I’m Irish 😂 In Ireland if an Irish person visits your house you should ask them would they like a drink usually a cup of tea or coffee. If they say no you should ask them again and even then you should ask “are you sure?” - it’s just polite. =So you ask a person three times do they want a drink.= The reason for this is because you should make a person feel welcome in your home; and that you would treat anyone who comes to your home well. If you don’t it looks like you don’t want them to be in your house even if they are just visiting briefly; and that your not a nice person so we’ll stay away from you. Irish people find it very hard to tell you if your English is not perfect - this is because we are Irish and our language is not originally English so we feel we shouldn’t tell you how to speak it. Also English find it hard to understand Irish peoples way of speaking English... Irish people speak English but we think in Irish. You should insist that an Irish person tells you if you are speaking wrong. Usually older people will find it too hard to tell you your not speaking English correctly because they would feel bad or snobby or arrogant for correcting you. A lot of these unique Irish cultural ways are all because of Irish history and how we were treated by British. We would never like to treat another country in that way so we are extra nice to non-Irish.
I'm impressed about what you said: Irish people speak English but think in Irish...because I've talked to Irish who doesn't even know to say Hello in Irish 😅
@@hielinarodriguez725 say “what’s the story?” “How is she cutting” “how is she hangin” …to an English person and that won’t have a clue what your talking about. They all mean “hello”. The English forced Irish to speak English but the Irish way of thinking is still alive. Speak English in Ireland and we will have a 100 different ways of saying the same thing in English. “Fuck you” can also mean hello in Irish. However they all depend on the context you say these in and when to say it. “Go away” can also mean continue what your saying. An English person wouldn’t understand this. Dia dhuit is the Irish for hello and means God be with you - however Irish language is ancient and it’s probable we said may God smile upon you or something. Slainte also means hello or health to you. Irish humour is a classic example of Irish thinking.
1st...its nearly impossible to buy a "home" there..but thats true to any country nowadays. Second, all these guidelines you wrote are true for any culture/people
@@andreasmuller2437 don’t I know it - I can’t afford a mortgage here and I’ve lived here my whole life. This might be true of every other culture but we speak a language that isn’t the same as our culture. I mean Luxembourgish comes from French German languages - English too - but Irish doesn’t.
@@phylk4683 ??? French is a 'latin' language and does not belong to the group of languages, which are spoken in Germany, England, the Netherlands and Denmark.
I recently posted a similar video talking about all the things I wish I knew before moving to Dublin, Ireland from the United States! It was a definitely a learning curve but I love living here!
I don't know a whole lot about ireland other than that I really like the fact that people are polite and respectful to one another and that I may find some help for a rare eye condition I have called choroideremia. The only hope for me is stem cell therapy. Because of the eye disease,I'm completely blind in my right eye and what sight I have remaining in my left eye is like looking through a straw. Here in the u.s. there is no cure or treatment for at least 5-10 years from now. By then,I know it'll be too late for me. That's why I'm trying my best to find help. I feel in my heart that some where our there, there is help for me. But where is the big question. Finding help is so hard when you have no help or a clue where to look for help. If you know of any help, please let me know. THANK you and God bless you.🙏
I can't believe people don't say please and thank you in Moldova! No wonder you left there Anna Marie!Just kidding with you. I hope you find what you are looking for,you deserve success. All the best once again from New Jersey USA.You have great insight for someone so young . Happy St Patrick's Day!

Nice one buddy just discovered your channel really found this interesting as an Irish person from county Derry. Thank you for sharing look forward to seeing more of your uploads.
Irish culture is very similar to southern states in USA prob the only two places on the planet where people respect each other and humility and kindness is an important part of life.
Yeah, I agree. I’m from Dublin but live in ABQ NM, and people are very polite here in much of the same way, however the SW USA wins hands down in the food industry when it come to politeness that in Ireland.
Great video. Most people are sensitive. They just don't want to express it if they are not supposed to be. I guess Ireland allows for sensitivity. My husband knows how to say anything to someone and it will sound nice. I really have to learn lol.
I tried to influence a shop owner in America to adjust the price. He was giving me the impression he would but then my gut told me he won’t so I picked up a rock brought it to him and said this is within my budget I will buy this. I think my mom knew what I was up to. We don’t usually bargain in stores here. But I have tried it in a give an impression that’s what I want imply it don’t say it kinda way and once in a great while it works out and I get offered a cheaper price but it’s rare I’m not inspired to imply anything about the price most of the time
7:00 you have to consider people's feelings every where. Being from a certain aper of the world e.g. E Europe doesn't give you the right to be impolite or ignorant.
In Irish culture, having good manners, such a using please, and thank you shows that you are educated in the broadest sense, and respectful of others. Having lived in several Eastern European countries, words such as thank you, are often used minimally and if over used, can give the impression you are not sophisticated, which is the complete opposite to Irish culture. So having manners in Ireland shows sophistication, and where they are lacking can show some level of crudeness and a lack of respect for others. For this reason, for the Irish living in Eastern Europe, the difference can take some getting used to. Neither is wrong. They are just different.
You're a smart woman . You are correct to be critical of ireland or anywhere else . Best start from the truth and that may encourage us to improve . Thank you .
Nice video and thank you ,now my partner is latvian were together this 8 years yes ime Irish we had some fun meeting she had no english and for sure my latvian was zero but 8 years on happy days ,i still explain different words to her and she to me i have learned so much about her country and how they live and behave just like you when u came here we all learn about each other and what ticks, life is good when you love some one ,just to let you know ime 72 ans she is 56 she is my 1percent ime 99 percent and with out her i would not be 100 percent she makes me a whole man ,think she got a bad deal lol.cheers
@@theclumsyprepper true, I'm waiting for the weather to get better, so I can enjoy a ride on my motorcycle, i don't like riding in the rain, so i just use the car, but nothing beats when the sun is shining and u and your friends are riding
One pointer about your English, saying some have the 'balls' is considered lower or uneducated. Instead use what you mean, some have the 'courage'. This will come across as being more educated unless you're speaking to an uneducated audience. Otherwise your English is great. Your accent adds character. I enjoy visiting Ireland. People are nice, friendly, and honest. Very safe, little to no crime, clean, people are just more civilized as a whole than they are in many places in the U.S.
Funny, where I'm at opening doors for others gets you weird looks or a response I don't need you to open the door for me. But I keep doing it anyway and I always say please, thank you, How are you doing, You have a awesome day. It's nice to know that in Ireland those kind gestures are appreciated.
Respect goes along way. Thank You means a lot especially if you need help. In the States if you wait for a sale you can get a good price. Holding a door for the elderly is very kind. Learning the culture goes a long way. Good Video.
All of the manners stuff applies in Great Britain too - holding doors, saying please & thank you etc... except not so much in London, which has a lot of rude people.
A piece of advice: Always consider the context of a direct insult. Sometimes people insult each other for fun or to mess with each other. It's called a slagging Match or "Taking the p*ss"
In most places you would definitely by called out for calling the north british, assuming they would give you the time of day for the remark. May depend.
Interesting always nice to hear the views of a Foreigner,It's not the worst place place,but which country is perfect.exercise common sense and know not every one is to be Trusted.Again such people are world wide,but in general most Irish people are friendly and help full.Enjoy your visit.
When as a youngster we travelled the bus route from Milltown to Ranelagh after school we could actually be thrown to the floor due to centrifugal force at a sharp bend in the road. Great fun alright till one of the kids on the roads was killed biking home. Crazy disregard for the safety of all and l brought the same attitude to my driving on joining the BA.The danger here was we were driving bloodygreat tank transporters.While I was being trained in the skill of driving the heavies the officer I was assigned to was constantly ashen faced.He was only a young subaltern! Managed to live to my low eighties though so there you go. Time makes you sober up.
A lot of people regard the partition of ireland as a national tragedy and probably more nowadays just accept as the way it is ,so it is probably better not to mention that a part of the island is in the UK if don't have to,but the fact is that northern ireland is in the UK and so what you really need to avoid well not you really at this stage ,tourists and immigrants coming to ireland is saying that the republic in the UK which is incorrect and it really annoys us.
Hi Ana! let's put it another way!... a suggestion for another video!.. what way should Irish be if they go to Moldova!?!... and why do you think that (wars, communism, etc).. Irish ppl don't know a lot about Eastern Europe and its recent harsh history
Yeah I notices the sensitivity as a Slovak person in the UK and Ireland too...dont misunderstand I actually do like the way people treat each other with politiness and respect over there, its just...very different to what I am used to. People providing any services almost always start the converstaiton with what I call a buffer - a nice polite opening and often are very nice throughout the convo , and...it can actually take some time for them to get to the point. To provide a concrete example lets say you want a refund in Slovakia - the convo d many times go "Hi" "Hi! I need a refund" "why" "I bought the wrong size" "here is your money back "" thanks""bye" .And you can apply this to anything, a very clipped short conversation without any care for each other. To maybe provide also more context, in Slovakia u can ask the shop assistant of how you look e.g. in the oufit you are planning to buy..and they may quite honestly respond "not good, dont buy it"...And thats that. Nobody d really be shocked by that response. I cannot really imagine that happening in the UK or Ireland.
I don't know about that bargaining in shops bit, I work in a shop and you will be charged whatever the price is as that is my job, you may be able to bargain when buying a car or a home but do not try this in a shop as it will just annoy us and you will not be getting any discount
My advice would be to refer to Northern Ireland as the North as this will keep you right, either side of the border. If someone gives you hassle for referring to it in a certain way then they honestly aren't worth your time!
Technically Northern Ireland is part of the UK, however it is a sensitive subject as Unionists in Northern Ireland will say its part of the UK, whilst Republicans in the North and South of Ireland regard it as part of Ireland
The #RulingEnglish seized #Ireland, just as they did with #Wales and #Scotland, and created #GreatBritain. To ensure the domination of local Irish, they used #Plantations and #ForcedSettlements, just like #Israel in #Gaza. They also attempted to stamp out the #Gaelic language. The actions of the #Ruling #English were horrifying in the extreme. If I recall correctly, it was #Normans who thought 💭 like this.
@@davidvincent8929 The Normans were actually French and had conquered England and Wales some around 100 years before the invasion of Ireland. I’d also like to point out that the British (mainly Scots and Irish protestents) were sent to colonise by James the 1st who was infact Scottish and unified the Kingdoms of England and Scotland through taking the throne rather than conquest. Yes the treatment of the Irish has been horrendous but there are still those in Northern Ireland who claim it is British and those who claim it is part of Ireland.
It's all the Island of Ireland! Other names are Ulster, the North but the safest way to name the 6 counties currantly :D part of the UK is Northern Ireland.
Interesting video overall. But it isn't really a case of people in Ireland being sensitive or oversensitive. It is just that it can seem this way. Having basic consideration for others is the social norm in most societies. Nothing special really. However, in most places in the former Soviet Union, the situation is very different. Society was atomised by decades of corrupt misrule, the erosion of tradition, and the eradication of large swathes of the population. The result is that even today, three decades after the collapse of the USSR, social fabric remains torn. People in general do not care about anyone else, and the state certainly doesn't. In many ways, this is a survival mechanism. Understandable. But the thuggish and downright cretinish behaviour that is the norm there shouldn't be used as a measure of society outside. Life in Moldova, the Ukraine and Russia is severely warped. Not so in Ireland or most places in Western Europe. And the curt attitude and abysmal lack of consideration for others, even for strangers on the street, will not go down well at all with Irish people. Some may criticise you for such behaviour. But do not mistake that for being sensitive. It isn't.
This is the first video I watched of yours. I went back to watch the " drawbacks" video and I thought it was ok. It was not insulting. Yes Irish people are easily offended and feel insulted if they are seen in a slightly negative light. They feel personally attacked. Lol. We can anything negative about ourselves but we will not accept judgement from a 'foreigner' al all.." it raises out blood pressure! " when you say double sink you should have said double taps.
I'm sure most people are sensitive to criticisms from 'foreigners'! The Irish havent monopolized this reaction! I wish we Americans could be MORE relaxed about taking criticisms, but we are not.
@@inconnu4961 I'd say you're right. We're all the same! :D what we have to understand here is that it's one person's experience and it's a limited experience. I've just checked my house for mold , just to be sure :D
Great video, very interesting insight into Ireland from someone who moved here. You should do a video on the foods of Ireland, including Crisp sandwiches 🥪 😁
Every video I see about Ireland makes me realize that the Midwest in the US is very similar culture-wise. Of course, there are some difference but there are some similarities.
Irish people are really in this comment section explaining the concept of poverty and oppression to someone from the former Soviet Union. You guys are precious. 😂
I have seen videos about France where the negative aspects of moving there are discussed. This type of video contains important information that people need to know. I saw your video about Ireland and I did not think it was insulting. I'm an American so I saw it through the lens of my culture.
That really would make the most sense, but in this hyper sensitive climate we live in, one never can be certain. We all need to relax and lighten up a bit. Not sure if this will happen, though.
This is very true definitely about saying please and thank you my mum and dad always ask me if i said please and thank you😊And yea it’s kinda natural habit to hold the door open for people 🚪:) Also 1 thing I forgot is that if u have aunties uncles great aunts granny’s grandpas what ever sometimes if u are lucky enough they will give u some money🥰Even if it isn’t a special occasion!!!🤩. (P.S I am sorry if I sound like I’m bragging I’m just saying some facts that might be true to some people and not true to others❤️💖)
Hey there. Welcome to Ireland :) Just a thought. If you are a little insecure or concerned about filming outside in public, and you intend to be doing more videos. It might help you a great amount, if you watch "auditor" videos on youtube. These are the people who go around police stations and industrial businesses and film from the public path. They are activists who stand up for filming in public and to keep our public rights alive. Watch and listen to them very closely, and you will very quickly learn what you can and cannot do with filming, in public and even on other peoples private land. you will also learn from them how to deal with police, what rights you have and how not to get arrested when arguing with police. Knowledge brings confidence :)
I must admit when your video came up in my suggestions about “things I don’t like about Ireland” I was badly triggered but after watching your videos you’re a lovely soul and I do relate, I live in Holland I’ve got a similar scenario as yourself
Great English, I am from Kyrgyzstan but here everybody speaking in Russian language, so in this case for my for English pronunciation very clean than native speakers. I just watch your vlog for practice my English understanding)

Common courtesy isn't taught these days. Simple warm greetings whether in person, or on the phone, like "Good afternoon", etc. Simple "Thank you" and "Please". Courteous responses to questions, while looking at people in the eye. Opening the door, ESPECIALLY for ladies, and elderly people! It's all about proper upbringing, and breeding. Sadly, these things are minimized in homes, and in school.
The people treat each other very nicely and thats how society should be it mkes people feel happier
It will change with diversity
No they don't haha
It may seem that way but a lot of us have a very backwards way of saying fuck off in subtler ways
you cannot really ask for a "best price" in every shop but some shops will tell you they will match the price of competitors so if you lookup online what it costs in any other irish retailer then you can go to your nearest shop and say..."listen, this item costs this and that in shop xy, can you match that?". if you're lucky they will sell it even cheaper than it costs in the other shop.
Totally agree, but after working in Harvey Norman for a year, I've seen many things :D
@@AMEditionYT whats the best discount you've ever given in Harvey Norman's?
@@robotleaves i was not working directly in Harvey and had no access to making discounts or do anything with prices. I was just helping people out with specs and choosing the right product. But there were not big discounts. Guys could give 10 or 20 or sometimes up to 50 euro discounts on products that cost a few thousand euro. So nothing big
Got my fridge tenner cheaper than in the states before shipping. I'm the only one in my village with a fridge that has an ice machine yoke in it, and twas cheaper than my neighbour's fridge which is half the size. Yup Harvey Norman.
Sounds like my kind of people, looks like I'd fit well with the Irish. The Irish guy I met via skype from Dublin was super friendly. Being considerate of ones' feelings is a good trait I admire.
Very cool your channel. I did an exchange in Dublin for 6 months. I really liked your country and I miss so much Dublin. I am Brazilian and I really want to go back to Ireland.
I had a Brazilian friend who lived in Ireland for about 4 years, the guy worked about 3 jobs always working getting money, he returned to Brazil and opened his own restaurant and bought a house with the money he made now has a beautiful wife and 2 kids. He returned home about 6 years ago.
Ireland is not her country, is it not obvious from both her accent and her attitude?
Irish people are direct in a non direct way...it's part of the culture ..to mock oneself is common in Irish culture too...
Now that times have changed however due to tech, I think the characters we saw growing up will be few on the ground
Nice video , thumbs up 👍👍
I wonder will it be good or bad, and how does technology change it
I don’t know Sky Theatric - when you leave Dublin and The Pale you find yourself in a different country still with its own cultural identity.
Please God it will never die.
It's good to hear views about living in Ireland from residents of other cultutes/nationalities. Having lived in mainland Europe most of my life I appreciate a direct straightforward honest response. Simply saying its grand and not challenging or disagreeing when called for doesn't help anybody. The same as not challenging or calling out poor service in shops and ho restaurants
Hi Ana Maria, were can I send you an email?
I like this new style of recording videos outside because I can see a neighborhood of Dublin.
And great video Ana!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm happy you enjoyed this format 😊 great that you can see how everything looks like in usual neighbourhood 👍
@@AMEditionYT Ur young,and I'm sure u have plenty of living to be done!But I can assure u,wherever u go in this world u will meet nice& not so nice.people!
.Cultural differences, practices,expressions,manner's,so many things may vary,but in most country's a smile,a "Nod" of ur Head,a "Thumbs up" can carry the day!!.
And as for u considering Irish or British people being very sensitive!.Well maybe in this particular "PC"Culture,speak and language, we find ourselves being swamped, but things may have changed?
.But in my experience Irish ☘️ people were never considered "Shrinking Violets"but maybe in the last two decades a certain mindset and transformation has taken place??
.And I will add and advise u of this,I do think some people find it a little rude or at least disingenuous ,or maybe they feel it is lacking in gratitude,when any Foreigner decides to make a Video,(when they haven't been living in the country that long)about the very country which has opened it's doors and granted them a brand new opportunity and life experience!!
..Of course the Video should try and maintain it's integrity,but like it or not,the responses it receives,can easily depend on the Messenger or it's Producer,who will of course find themselves on the receiving end of the responses it provokes!.
.ps..And I'm speaking as someone who doesn't live in Ireland,but whose parents are from, Cahirciveen,County Kerry!!...But I do hope as time goes by u scone more acclimatized to ur surroundings,which should happen!
I've lived in Ireland for the past 15 years, plus 10 years in the 70's and 80's. I've never heard of anyone bargaining in a store for a fridge or TV here.
I am Irish and always ask for the best price for cash for large or expensive good, I will haggle when I buy second hand goods.
I haggled for my mums gravestone
Interesting to here someone's view from outside Ireland. It is common to be honest and straight forward when you become close friends. An Irish joke is that you can tell the friends in going away party as they are the ones who are saying "I hope they never come back". Where I come from being honest and straight forward is for those you trust and know. It is a weird custom. But once an Irish person starts missing with you are being honest you know you are friends 😂.
good points mate but I just smell rudeness all over this woman. not Irish being sensitive but many people will get offended for things like calling Ireland the Uk. it's like go call a Portuguese Spanish, calling a Korea Chinese. the worst part is she didn't sound apologizing at all. instead she's just explaining why that's normal for her to do so. when you go and live in another country it's common sense to learn some basics of the country
Where are you from, Cillian?
Actually, the "negatives," are not negative, in my opinion. "Too sensitive" and "having to be polite to everyone," and not being blunt is how I operate... I am an honest person, but I have found a way to be direct and polite. That sounds delightful.
The irish culture are so warm and kind
You've never read the comments section of thejournal.ie, have you! Lol That''ll soon put paid go that notion!!:D
@@Marie.b lol
Irish people are "friendly"..To people who look just like them....
@@topmodelmissy3355 I am so sorry if someone did something horrible to you, or anyone here
LOL not really at all
I'm glad you pointed out that Irish people sugarcoat things. I'm Irish but live in Germany and have become much more direct when I talk to people. It avoids all the "pussy footing" around people. One good thing about seeing the grass from the other side
Thank you for sharing! 😊
How did you find your experience of becoming more direct?
I really like the balance between being direct and taking in consideration people's feelings at the same time. 😊 I watched plenty of webinars and went to many training sessions to learn more about efficient communication. Found them very helpful!
@@AMEditionYT it was liberating! Lol! It just means that you know where you stand and the other person too. I'm not going to be impolite just because I want to be direct.
@@nroess9465 oh...Didn't mean to say anything about being impolite 🙈 there are no excuses for this.
I know it's just adapting to a different way of communication 😊
@@AMEditionYToh I know you didn't mean anything by that. I just tried to say that by being direct it doesn't mean you can forget your manners. Sometimes when you'd hear someone being direct without considering the other person, you do wonder what happened their manners. But hey we're all different. If we were all the same this would be a very boring world to live in
@Leon Erin it can throw you a bit when you first hear it. You think they're very insulting but I've learned not to care what others think of me and then when they say something very direct it makes me laugh. Phoney "niceness" drives me mad. You can smell it a mile off
Good advice: if you immigrate to a different country it is a common curtesy to get to know it’s history and culture - this is the reference to your point about giving yourself more time to adapt . If you spent some time on studying the culture and history of Ireland before coming you will feel that you adapt better and quicker. This is also to do with the point you mentioned about people being insulted that you call Northern Ireland UK...the knowledge of culture and history would have helped you understand why...you said that you like studying and you spend a lot of time studying different things...it’s a shame you chose not to study about Ireland before going there...
Ann Marie. I made a couple of vlogs in Chisinau. Met some really nice people there and had a great time. Just found this channel and enjoying it. We're happy to have you here
Thanks Anna for clearing up the UK north of Ireland issue I was one of the people that left a comment in your video and I'm very happy you cleared that up 👍 I enjoy your channel
You say people are sensitive after you made your drawbacks to living in a country they are when your spreading misinformation about it.
I agree with you on a few things.
You said nothing happens outside Dublin you need to Travel around more outside Dublin go to a big city in a county before you Make a assumption like that. You say people don't look after there houses not the entire population there is some. Not all people who get social welfare from government don't want to work some people its temporarily till they find a job. It can be cheaper to rent outside Dublin. Do you your research next time before you post incorrect information.
Jaysus you're very sensitive. She's giving her own experience of living in the country. Everyone who lives here has different assumptions and experiences.
Leon Erin Irish people _are_ sensitive. By the same token we are, in general, particularly good at diplomacy. Diplomacy is a virtue that requires a natural sensitivity.
There is a fine line between uttering objective critical thinking and being downright offensive. I've known some spectacularly rude people who tried to excuse their behaviour by claiming "I'm just telling the unvarnished truth" as if somehow that's always a virtue. It's not.
There's a time for the unvarnished truth, a time for diplomatic truth, a time for keeping the truth to yourself ... and, in Ireland, a time for flinging the truth around in a good slagging session. This has nothing to do with wokeness. It has to do with knowing how to strike the right balance.
Sensitivity is not a characteristic I think Ireland should lose. There's enough blunt speaking around the world. You'll find it in every trouble spot and warzone. We don't need to add to it. So, long live Irish sensitivity! 😁😁😁🇮🇪
Leon Erin By the way, my post was in response to yours and not intended as a criticism of Ana-Maria.
Leon Erin I'm 100% in favour of the art of slagging. It's a great traditional Irish bonding method. There should be no place for gratuitous rudeness and no place for political correctness either. The middle road is always the best route.
I repeat, I was not criticising Ana-Maria.
Yes, Irish people always worry about how they are perceived abroad and so they should. That perception is our brand and we trade on our brand. If Irish football fans go around the world serenading foreign police women or changing tyres for elderly drivers and the following week there are two butters on the shelf in, say, France - one Irish Kerrygold and the other also a foreign import - which one do you think the French shopper will choose? Image _is_ important.
There's a big difference between critical thinking and just whining like teenagers about everything or washing our dirty linen in public. If you keep announcing to the world that you're a piece of crap eventually the world will believe you ... and it _won't_ admire you for your critical thinking!
Leon Erin Picking up rubbish for the cameras is cringeworthy? So what. It worked. What I find really old and tiresome is people choosing to be angry all of the time; believing that they are in a position to criticise others because they think they are superior all of the time; and - most irritating of all - whining all of the time. The bulk of the world's population live tough lives and have to deal with really serious issues, none of which include feelings about cringeworthiness.
Hey Ana-Maria. I hope you dont mind but i would like to just give my opinion on the Irish been sensitive.😂🤷🏼♂️I honestly taught this was a skit title. I grew up in Ireland, moving to America at 20 to follow my dream of breeding horses in the American Midwest. (Yep, it came to pass but Catholic roulette gave us more PERFECT kids than perfect full bred Friesians🤣)Anyway, the level of sensitivity i found while driving all over Europe as a teen, from Uk, FR, Spain, Portugal, Germany, & all the eastern member states was next to none, from 96 - 00. Ireland today is at the level i found then, even in America. You said this is based on comments online, that ppl dnt have the balls to say it in public. 1st, may i suggest that trolls will argue bout that the world is flat, so nothing new here. 2nd, may i suggest that ppl in Ireland, this tiny Island don’t see you & think, “Oh look, its the lady from the internet. Lets confront her.” And this is for 2 reasons, they dont know u & we respect privacy in Ireland so ppl wont just roll up on ye for pointing out what you dont like🤦🏻♂️, but the main reason is that those small few sensitive ppl are typical of any city, country in the free world. Ana, after 2 years & 400K views, you got 2000+ comments & most are very respectfully disagreeing with almost all of what you said (Ireland is not Dublin) but they do it in the most respectful manner. Is it possible that you’re wrong? Let’s ask some other visitors like you: th-cam.com/video/pssNEDh0p5g/w-d-xo.html The only thing i disagree with is how he interprets what we dont like about America. We love the freedoms of states like TX & my homestate, Oklahoma, but we do not like how some presidents & congress men/women will call out our little island for “Global warming” while not mentioning places like China. And when the president did point this out 4 yrs ago, he was called racist. Am i wrong to say this makes no sense? Anyway, you’ll see what i mean. Enjoy Americans in Dublin🇮🇪🇺🇸🇺🇦👌🤠🔱🙏
Well said 👍🏻 - I get fed up having to explain Ireland Irish and the differences between us and UK and our histories.
It's so interesting to hear foreign people describe your own culture because they notice things we just take for granted lol
I couldn't imagine not holding a door or saying thank you to people and yes definitely children are taught to say please and thank you but I thought everyone done this
I’m Italian and it’s the same for me
In Germany that doesn’t exist 😂
I didn’t know you could ask for best price in a shop... and I’m Irish 😂
In Ireland if an Irish person visits your house you should ask them would they like a drink usually a cup of tea or coffee. If they say no you should ask them again and even then you should ask “are you sure?” - it’s just polite.
=So you ask a person three times do they want a drink.=
The reason for this is because you should make a person feel welcome in your home; and that you would treat anyone who comes to your home well. If you don’t it looks like you don’t want them to be in your house even if they are just visiting briefly; and that your not a nice person so we’ll stay away from you.
Irish people find it very hard to tell you if your English is not perfect - this is because we are Irish and our language is not originally English so we feel we shouldn’t tell you how to speak it.
Also English find it hard to understand Irish peoples way of speaking English... Irish people speak English but we think in Irish.
You should insist that an Irish person tells you if you are speaking wrong. Usually older people will find it too hard to tell you your not speaking English correctly because they would feel bad or snobby or arrogant for correcting you.
A lot of these unique Irish cultural ways are all because of Irish history and how we were treated by British. We would never like to treat another country in that way so we are extra nice to non-Irish.
I'm impressed about what you said: Irish people speak English but think in Irish...because I've talked to Irish who doesn't even know to say Hello in Irish 😅
@@hielinarodriguez725
say “what’s the story?”
“How is she cutting”
“how is she hangin”
…to an English person and that won’t have a clue what your talking about. They all mean “hello”.
The English forced Irish to speak English but the Irish way of thinking is still alive. Speak English in Ireland and we will have a 100 different ways of saying the same thing in English. “Fuck you” can also mean hello in Irish. However they all depend on the context you say these in and when to say it. “Go away” can also mean continue what your saying. An English person wouldn’t understand this.
Dia dhuit is the Irish for hello and means God be with you - however Irish language is ancient and it’s probable we said may God smile upon you or something.
Slainte also means hello or health to you.
Irish humour is a classic example of Irish thinking.
1st...its nearly impossible to buy a "home" there..but thats true to any country nowadays.
Second, all these guidelines you wrote are true for any culture/people
@@andreasmuller2437 don’t I know it - I can’t afford a mortgage here and I’ve lived here my whole life.
This might be true of every other culture but we speak a language that isn’t the same as our culture. I mean Luxembourgish comes from French German languages - English too - but Irish doesn’t.
@@phylk4683 ??? French is a 'latin' language and does not belong to the group of languages, which are spoken in Germany, England, the Netherlands and Denmark.
I'm irish and I feel what you say is a very accurate description of ireland!
I recently posted a similar video talking about all the things I wish I knew before moving to Dublin, Ireland from the United States! It was a definitely a learning curve but I love living here!
I don't know a whole lot about ireland other than that I really like the fact that people are polite and respectful to one another and that I may find some help for a rare eye condition I have called choroideremia. The only hope for me is stem cell therapy. Because of the eye disease,I'm completely blind in my right eye and what sight I have remaining in my left eye is like looking through a straw. Here in the u.s. there is no cure or treatment for at least 5-10 years from now. By then,I know it'll be too late for me. That's why I'm trying my best to find help. I feel in my heart that some where our there, there is help for me. But where is the big question. Finding help is so hard when you have no help or a clue where to look for help. If you know of any help, please let me know. THANK you and God bless you.🙏
I have no doubt you will be fine.

Irish culture is very similar to southern states in USA prob the only two places on the planet where people respect each other and humility and kindness is an important part of life.
There are alot of differences tbf but there are big similarities in some places
Yeah, I agree. I’m from Dublin but live in ABQ NM, and people are very polite here in much of the same way, however the SW USA wins hands down in the food industry when it come to politeness that in Ireland.
@Z.K. No
It is a myth that southern states in the US are friendly. If they ever seem friendly they are usually looking for a way to stab you in the back.
Great video. Most people are sensitive. They just don't want to express it if they are not supposed to be. I guess Ireland allows for sensitivity.
My husband knows how to say anything to someone and it will sound nice. I really have to learn lol.
I tried to influence a shop owner in America to adjust the price. He was giving me the impression he would but then my gut told me he won’t so I picked up a rock brought it to him and said this is within my budget I will buy this. I think my mom knew what I was up to. We don’t usually bargain in stores here. But I have tried it in a give an impression that’s what I want imply it don’t say it kinda way and once in a great while it works out and I get offered a cheaper price but it’s rare I’m not inspired to imply anything about the price most of the time

In Irish culture, having good manners, such a using please, and thank you shows that you are educated in the broadest sense, and respectful of others. Having lived in several Eastern European countries, words such as thank you, are often used minimally and if over used, can give the impression you are not sophisticated, which is the complete opposite to Irish culture. So having manners in Ireland shows sophistication, and where they are lacking can show some level of crudeness and a lack of respect for others. For this reason, for the Irish living in Eastern Europe, the difference can take some getting used to. Neither is wrong. They are just different.
In Serbia it's good manners too if you say please and thank you
You're a smart woman . You are correct to be critical of ireland or anywhere else . Best start from the truth and that may encourage us to improve . Thank you .

The Sun is out everyday in Ireland 🇮🇪
The problem is the rain clouds are blocking it!
One pointer about your English, saying some have the 'balls' is considered lower or uneducated. Instead use what you mean, some have the 'courage'. This will come across as being more educated unless you're speaking to an uneducated audience. Otherwise your English is great. Your accent adds character. I enjoy visiting Ireland. People are nice, friendly, and honest. Very safe, little to no crime, clean, people are just more civilized as a whole than they are in many places in the U.S.
Funny, where I'm at opening doors for others gets you weird looks or a response I don't need you to open the door for me. But I keep doing it anyway and I always say please, thank you, How are you doing, You have a awesome day. It's nice to know that in Ireland those kind gestures are appreciated.
First video that i can see the sun exists there too! :) keep it up!
:D yeah! The weather finally improves a bit. It's still very chill but much more sun
Respect goes along way. Thank You means a lot especially if you need help. In the States if you wait for a sale you can get a good price. Holding a door for the elderly is very kind. Learning the culture goes a long way. Good Video.
I moved here from Sydney 5 yrs ago for uni - you're so right, people are really sensitive here, very different to back home!
Hope you're still enjoying Ireland
Great information. That's very positivity all around you 👍👌🙂!
All of the manners stuff applies in Great Britain too - holding doors, saying please & thank you etc... except not so much in London, which has a lot of rude people.
A piece of advice: Always consider the context of a direct insult. Sometimes people insult each other for fun or to mess with each other. It's called a slagging Match or "Taking the p*ss"
You seem like a good person: kind and humble. I'm sure the locals like you. You're also very attractive, and that's not such a bad attribute either!
In most places you would definitely by called out for calling the north british, assuming they would give you the time of day for the remark.
May depend.
And north of the border (depending on where you are), you will definately be called out for calling it Ireland and not 'Northern Ireland'

A lot of people regard the partition of ireland as a national tragedy and probably more nowadays just accept as the way it is ,so it is probably better not to mention that a part of the island is in the UK if don't have to,but the fact is that northern ireland is in the UK and so what you really need to avoid well not you really at this stage ,tourists and immigrants coming to ireland is saying that the republic in the UK which is incorrect and it really annoys us.
Hi Ana! let's put it another way!... a suggestion for another video!.. what way should Irish be if they go to Moldova!?!... and why do you think that (wars, communism, etc).. Irish ppl don't know a lot about Eastern Europe and its recent harsh history
Yeah I notices the sensitivity as a Slovak person in the UK and Ireland too...dont misunderstand I actually do like the way people treat each other with politiness and respect over there, its just...very different to what I am used to. People providing any services almost always start the converstaiton with what I call a buffer - a nice polite opening and often are very nice throughout the convo , and...it can actually take some time for them to get to the point. To provide a concrete example lets say you want a refund in Slovakia - the convo d many times go "Hi" "Hi! I need a refund" "why" "I bought the wrong size" "here is your money back "" thanks""bye" .And you can apply this to anything, a very clipped short conversation without any care for each other. To maybe provide also more context, in Slovakia u can ask the shop assistant of how you look e.g. in the oufit you are planning to buy..and they may quite honestly respond "not good, dont buy it"...And thats that. Nobody d really be shocked by that response. I cannot really imagine that happening in the UK or Ireland.
What shop can you bargain. I’m Irish and I never heard of that.!
Yes I was just saying it's not exactly normal here! 😉
....car showrooms........price check in white furniture or white goods and electrical shops (Harvey Norman's, argos)
Quinnsworth
I don't know about that bargaining in shops bit, I work in a shop and you will be charged whatever the price is as that is my job, you may be able to bargain when buying a car or a home but do not try this in a shop as it will just annoy us and you will not be getting any discount
Nice to learn a bit about Moldovan culture too. 👍👍
My advice would be to refer to Northern Ireland as the North as this will keep you right, either side of the border. If someone gives you hassle for referring to it in a certain way then they honestly aren't worth your time!
To bargain in shops it would be on very large items like furniture/ cars etc
3:38 we have a similar thing in the US it's not bargaining it's called a coupon
Tallaght hills are looking well 😎.

Technically Northern Ireland is part of the UK, however it is a sensitive subject as Unionists in Northern Ireland will say its part of the UK, whilst Republicans in the North and South of Ireland regard it as part of Ireland
Thanks for explaining this ;)
The #RulingEnglish seized #Ireland, just as they did with #Wales and #Scotland, and created #GreatBritain. To ensure the domination of local Irish, they used #Plantations and #ForcedSettlements, just like #Israel in #Gaza. They also attempted to stamp out the #Gaelic language. The actions of the #Ruling #English were horrifying in the extreme. If I recall correctly, it was #Normans who thought 💭 like this.
@@davidvincent8929 The Normans were actually French and had conquered England and Wales some around 100 years before the invasion of Ireland.
I’d also like to point out that the British (mainly Scots and Irish protestents) were sent to colonise by James the 1st who was infact Scottish and unified the Kingdoms of England and Scotland through taking the throne rather than conquest.
Yes the treatment of the Irish has been horrendous but there are still those in Northern Ireland who claim it is British and those who claim it is part of Ireland.
It's all the Island of Ireland! Other names are Ulster, the North but the safest way to name the 6 counties currantly :D part of the UK is Northern Ireland.
Tom Halle I agree. Just one small point, Tom. There is no such a place as 'South of Ireland'. The name of the country is Ireland.
Useful video, thank you!
All video I was trying to guess which part of Dublin you are recording your video)))
Interesting video overall. But it isn't really a case of people in Ireland being sensitive or oversensitive. It is just that it can seem this way. Having basic consideration for others is the social norm in most societies. Nothing special really.
However, in most places in the former Soviet Union, the situation is very different. Society was atomised by decades of corrupt misrule, the erosion of tradition, and the eradication of large swathes of the population. The result is that even today, three decades after the collapse of the USSR, social fabric remains torn. People in general do not care about anyone else, and the state certainly doesn't. In many ways, this is a survival mechanism. Understandable.
But the thuggish and downright cretinish behaviour that is the norm there shouldn't be used as a measure of society outside. Life in Moldova, the Ukraine and Russia is severely warped. Not so in Ireland or most places in Western Europe. And the curt attitude and abysmal lack of consideration for others, even for strangers on the street, will not go down well at all with Irish people. Some may criticise you for such behaviour. But do not mistake that for being sensitive. It isn't.
This is the first video I watched of yours. I went back to watch the " drawbacks" video and I thought it was ok. It was not insulting. Yes Irish people are easily offended and feel insulted if they are seen in a slightly negative light. They feel personally attacked. Lol. We can anything negative about ourselves but we will not accept judgement from a 'foreigner' al all.." it raises out blood pressure! " when you say double sink you should have said double taps.
I'm sure most people are sensitive to criticisms from 'foreigners'! The Irish havent monopolized this reaction! I wish we Americans could be MORE relaxed about taking criticisms, but we are not.
@@inconnu4961 I'd say you're right. We're all the same! :D what we have to understand here is that it's one person's experience and it's a limited experience. I've just checked my house for mold , just to be sure :D
Hi. May I know the place where saying Hi and Thank you implied the person from a lower level in society..? Am curious..
Great video, very interesting insight into Ireland from someone who moved here. You should do a video on the foods of Ireland, including Crisp sandwiches 🥪 😁
Which area is this you are filming? it is very attactive.
This is Dublin 24 :) with sun everything looks much better!
It's been a long time since I've been to Ireland
Welcome to Ireland, I hope you like it here
Great video!!! What neighborhood were you filming in? It’s beautiful
Every video I see about Ireland makes me realize that the Midwest in the US is very similar culture-wise. Of course, there are some difference but there are some similarities.
Irish people are really in this comment section explaining the concept of poverty and oppression to someone from the former Soviet Union. You guys are precious. 😂
Thank you for your time and for watching this video 😊
Bargaining in Spar ? ... "Will you take 5 cents for this bag of Tayto ?" :-D
Lol!
Dunno where she got sensitive n bargaining from??
I have seen videos about France where the negative aspects of moving there are discussed. This type of video contains important information that people need to know. I saw your video about Ireland and I did not think it was insulting. I'm an American so I saw it through the lens of my culture.
Thanks for sharing Robert! :) Really appreciate it. Makes me feel better
That really would make the most sense, but in this hyper sensitive climate we live in, one never can be certain. We all need to relax and lighten up a bit. Not sure if this will happen, though.
"the culture in Ireland is amazing"
watch that change through multi culturism
Ireland has always had different cultures you tit
@@SwampRattler08 You mean Norse and Norman culture?
@@SwampRattler08 bye bye to you Yeh koward tit..
This is very true definitely about saying please and thank you my mum and dad always ask me if i said please and thank you😊And yea it’s kinda natural habit to hold the door open for people 🚪:)
Also 1 thing I forgot is that if u have aunties uncles great aunts granny’s grandpas what ever sometimes if u are lucky enough they will give u some money🥰Even if it isn’t a special occasion!!!🤩. (P.S I am sorry if I sound like I’m bragging I’m just saying some facts that might be true to some people and not true to others❤️💖)
Your thumbnail says "People are too sensitive" but you have your comments blocked in one of your videos explaining the downsides of living in Ireland
Hey there. Welcome to Ireland :)
Just a thought. If you are a little insecure or concerned about filming outside in public, and you intend to be doing more videos. It might help you a great amount, if you watch "auditor" videos on youtube. These are the people who go around police stations and industrial businesses and film from the public path. They are activists who stand up for filming in public and to keep our public rights alive.
Watch and listen to them very closely, and you will very quickly learn what you can and cannot do with filming, in public and even on other peoples private land. you will also learn from them how to deal with police, what rights you have and how not to get arrested when arguing with police.
Knowledge brings confidence :)
oops this was 3 years ago.. haha!
I must admit when your video came up in my suggestions about “things I don’t like about Ireland” I was badly triggered but after watching your videos you’re a lovely soul and I do relate, I live in Holland I’ve got a similar scenario as yourself
Thank you for this video. Thats too helpful.
Thanks for the comment. I'm happy I could help 😊
