In California it's a lot about putting on airs and we're always right. So I think he feels he has to totally become Irish overnight. Of course that's just one small part of the US if you every really get to travel here you'll find each state is almost like a separate country.
Hi, i am English ( ex Birmingham ) we moved to Flemish-speaking Belgium, compatible with Dutch when I was 12 or so, I joined a football club, went to school and learned the language, I was open-minded like you, I am now 63 and have quite a few friends here around Antwerp, as soon has you’ ve picked up the local Lingo you.’’re alright. I have many friends because of my maskering the language, but strangely enough I kept my Brummie accent....
He's from California they have a lot of "feelings" from there I'm from southern US y'all would much rather have us in Ireland hunting fishing and lots of 🍺
Im and irish student studying in dublin. I was born and raised in dublin . I work part time as a waiter in a hotel that has lots of American guests. I've three main tips for Americans coming to ireland. Firstly humility is important in irish culture. Its important to not think the worlds revolving around you Secondly slagging (mocking/ poking fun) of yourself and others is a hugely important part of irish humor. Its important to not be easily offended or overly PC. Thirdly being genuine.
Charles Sweeney ,it must be genetic, I'm an American of Irish descent ,Mark Farrell Langford is my name. The 3 things you listed is the things i value.Don't think to much of my self,bustin balls we call it,and being real. Erin go Bragh brother!
DesertHigh No, it's because everyone has their own personality. That's not determined by what state you live in. There are a lot of airheads in California. He happens not to be one of them. The same could be said for every state.
DesertHigh Sorry if I offended you but I'm just opposed to ridiculously over-generalized generalizations. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. It was our job to do everything he speaks about - fit in, listen, learn, adapt, help. My training group of fellow volunteers had people from all over the country. There was no difference based on geography about how well a person did in the job. It was based on who they were as a person. And most of the people in my group did very well because, no matter where they came from, they came with the right attitude.
DesertHigh - The rest of the country is not homogeneous. lol I'm from the Upper Midwest and we're nothing like people on the east coast, or even those in the southeastern part of the US.
I love what you said about the importance of not coming with preconceived ideas and feeling like you've got everything sorted out, that your culture is the best culture and that you're bringing all the solutions with you. This really is the purpose of travelling, making us humble and opening our minds like we never thought we would.
It's really important to be sure. I also think that's one of the biggest downsides to the "travel" culture of our generation, where people just sort of trample around the world and not worry about what's happening in the places they're going. Understanding the world is more than just going there, it's about listening and asking questions and being invested.
100%. Travelling isn't just about seeing landmarks and looking ridiculous wandering around with selfie sticks. But I guess people just do what they want :D
While that makes perfect sense...nobody wants to hear foreigners who are sure they have everything figured out, including you, it's disingenuous to pretend this is just an "American" trait. After working in the tourist/hotel business for decades, I have learned that even though Europeans attribute this attitude to all Americans, they themselves often demonstrate this same attitude loudly and proudly. I love talking to foreign visitors, but I've been lectured, mocked, hectored and teased by French, Italian, German, English, Australian, and Irish people about "what's wrong with the USA.". I've heard things like "at least we don't allow our children to be gunned down in school" or "we're not racist like you Americans are" or the classic "Americans simply have no taste". I don't mind the actual criticism as much as I mind the hypocrisy of holding Americans to a different standard than they hold themselves to.
Fair enough. But you have to realise that we too have our arrogant loudmouths who are quick to criticise what they don't properly understand. I hate and fear the gun culture in the US. It's a reason I would not go there. But, I understand that the debate around it goes to the heart of what it is to be an American. As an outsider, I cannot hope to properly comprehend this. So, I shut up in the company of Americans if this topic arises. Tarring all with the same brush is just the thing you are complaining about yourself.
Just visited Ireland and loved it. Like you we are from California, USA. Loved the Irish people, the culture and the HISTORY of the country. We were in Dublin, Kilkenny, Cashel, Ballina, Enniscrone, drove the Wild Atlantic Way, and Belfast. I felt very comfortable in Ireland. Was completely at home there.
Tone is important when speaking to Irish people. When people ask you how you are, a typical Irish response it 'Ah, not too bad' but it is said in a positive way. A Spanish girl I work with took it to mean that we are always looking at things from a negative perspective. However, I recently overheard a conversation between an Irish woman and a Polish man and when asked how he was, he cheerily replied, 'not too bad thanks', and I thought, he gets it. Similarly, we swear a lot but sometimes it is lighthearted everyday talk and sometimes it is not.
Haha its probably common all over the world. I've seen Irish celebrities on chat shows and they often say that people from such a place are very like the Irish and someone else says the very same thing about some other country on the other side of the world so its dawned on me that we're all much the same no matter what part of the world we live in just members of the human race trying to make a living and wondering what's it all about.
The weather here isn’t that bad it’s not too cold and not too hot. Ireland and England have some of the best weather for day to day living in the world.
A joke i heard from my Irish relatives from the West: If you see two dark shapes in the distance and they move, they're crows. If they don't move, it's two Irishmen working.
I remember myself and my father out working one time and we were drenched wet carrying coats heavy with rain and Wellington's and I said to him no wonder the Irish are such good workers when we go abroad were so used of dragging our feet out of muck and carrying big heavy coats that when we get out of them no job is hard. He just laughed at the time but I heard him saying it to another neighbour a while after
Canadian here. Just got back from a trip there. Loved it. My wife just recieved her Irish citizenship by descent. In before our first born so we can pass it on. May move one day!
Your kid can only get citizenship in Ireland if her parent or grandparent was born in Ireland. Your wife will never be considered an Irish woman. Just letting you know.
ciara murphy thanks, her great gran parent was Irish, she’s asking her grandparent and subsequently her mother to apply first. Bit of a stretch but we’ll see! Thanks for reply :)
You sound like a lovely chap. Hope you enjoy your stay in Ireland and we treat you well :) Don't forget to visit West Cork, Kerry and Donegal! stunningly beautiful scenery there.
greenknitter Hey thanks very much! I've spent a little bit of time in each of those but definitely not enough, would love to get out there again soon 😊
Hah ok. I think the millions of tourists to those places every year would beg to differ, but of course Galway and Mayo are well worth seeing. I love Galway city myself.
Bob Scott- Perhaps if you could persuade her to come for a holiday first,you never know sure she might fall in love with the place?? Ye'd be welcome anyway!
@@timlinator Ah, yes work is always a sticking point-plus the weather ,lol,though I'm boiling today from doing the dinner and we've no heating on at all, t'is like the tropics!!!
@@notamused3715 Well I find the weather in Ireland better than New York but not quite as nice as California. I'm not real hung up on the weather nor is she. I think the job issue is the bigger point. Mine is not a problem, I work for a tech company that has offices in Ireland allows me to work remotely. She would have to find a job there.
@@notamused3715 We're starting to talk about children and neither one of us wants to send them to school where they could get shot. Sick gun culture here.
I'm an Irishman from Newry living in San Mateo, California. This video really offered me a fresh perspective on being an immigrant in another country. I've experienced a lot of culture shock, more than I had anticipated. I thought "I grew up watching American TV, I follow American sports, I should fit right in, right?" While this hasn't been completely the case, over time I have come to appreciate that "hey, my way might not always be the right way", not to let go of my understanding of the world but to allow myself the space to appreciate where other people are coming from. Anyway, I appreciated your video!
really interesting to hear your perception of our little island. humbled by your kind words. I suppose you could say "I appreciate you" lol 😊 great vid Cory 😊
Interesting video,, funnily enough i was speaking with an american yesterday whos now living in this part of the world and having done so now for a few years , his opinion of "america" has changed. He told me "we arnt the greatest country in the world", and he feels americans are very insular and know little of the "outside world" and that the world doesnt revolve around the US.
As an American who has lived abroad including Europe and Australia I agree. US is not the greatest not even close. I live in San Francisco which I think is the best US city but would love to move back to Europe if I could get my spouse to agree. My father is from Limerick so I am an Irish/EU citizen and don't a visa. Just need to convince my spouse.
i’d love to move to Ireland one day. though i’m only 16 i already have goals to move there. your description in this video assured me that i will be fine. may the road rise up to meet you
My wife and I visited Ireland a couple years ago and have since decided that we would like to relocate there one day, maybe retirement since neither of us have a career path that would warrant it until then. Growing up as a military brat and traveling as an adult, I've been lucky enough to visit a good fair share of countries but no country made an impact on me the way Ireland did. The country is beautiful and the people are lovely. We both felt at peace there and would love the chance to experience Irish life firsthand long-term. Thanks for the insight that you guys have given us. Look forward for more updates. Slainte.
I have a few friends who came from the States originally and now live here in Eire and I must say, they're some of the most genuine people I know. Glad you're enjoying your time here. We can be a bit closed off and negative as a people go but I hope you can see past this and give us a chance.
After spending a few months in England I just found Ireland so vibrant and refreshing. England felt empty? No character where as Ireland exudes magical character ( simply wonderful )
Your such a nice dude! was expecting some hate as I live n Ireland myself and typically we get a lot of hate from outsiders and your one of the nicest Americans I have seen so far, not saying Americans are mean at all! just what iv'e experienced so far well done dude!
I love when people come here and are interested in getting to know our culture. I love when people ask questions about it and it's great to learn about other their cultures too. I've met so many interesting people since I moved to the city as people who move to Ireland tend to stay in the cities.
I love Ireland. The people, the energy, the natural beauty. There are good and bad things in every country but Ireland will always have a place in my heart.
Jaysus man, you are well sound and down to earth. I hope that your stay here has continued to be good and you and your family have enjoyed every second!
I've been seriously considering relocating to Ireland from NYC.. Having ancestry from both Ireland and France (rather recently) and being quite fed up with how our Country's gone berserk politically and culturally; I'm looking to gaining the courage, as my ancestors did, to starting a new life in a land foreign from what I know; all for the sake of having a better sense of self and community!
Lynda L I'm with you. This country is getting really old and I'm over it and done. I'm moving to Ireland after I become a famous actress in Hollywood and not have to work for the rest of my life.
Ya join us over here. Just one piece of advice I'll give is leave your feelings at home. In Ireland we show affection by mocking each other endlessly. You'll soon get used to it and realise it means some ones likes you as a person. . They don't mean to actually offend you but if you said this stuff in America people would probably more times than not be offended.. And a lot of the time we mean the complete opposite of what we say and there's a huge amount of sarcasm in our speech. It takes times getting used to like he said it's like a new English but there's a kind of charm about it. On the plus side it's extremely easy to make new friends and get into new friend circles.
Us irish aren't what the english media make us out to be, what you might see of the news against us is made 100 times worse by english media... Have a holiday here first adn see for yourself how we are
Cory, could you please share a video on exactly how you moved to Ireland, the steps you took, how long it took, papers and forms needed, banking, buying a home, healthcare, etc. I'm considering my options for the future. Thank you.
i work in an irish gift shop and some americans are so lovely! overall some things that get on our nerves are 1) when you group us as part of britain 2) when you say pounds instead of euro’s 3) when you ask for a pronunciation and then say it completely differently ( celtic is pronounced KELL TICK ) 4) when you guarantee that you are irish even though you were born and raised in america to two american parents and this is the first time you have been in ireland 5) don’t complain about the rain, you haven’t had to deal with it as long as we have
ella flynn Americans like their ethnic backgrounds and many of them are interested in their "roots". Embrace it rather than dismiss it. Sometimes in America they may have married among their own communities over several generations -Irish to Irish,Italians to Italians or whatever.
hey corey i know how you feel. except the opposite. i went over to orange county the first time and then to san diego. im an irish woman. there were so many americanisms i didnt understand and made quite a few ignorant cultural boo boos, welcome to Ireland
remember that Americans are isolated from worldly cultures ***most of the time*** and can be ignorant to how languages and culture works outside of continental US, not dis just stating.. try easing them into your reality.. :) love you!
btw orange country especially is exempt from cultures outside of US, currently live in SOCO, (southern orange county California) and i can attest to the taboo of foreign culture, www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/orangecountycalifornia/PST045216 at time of post 72%white and 30% foreign population minus the borne persons in country. so even though most irish are white understand that they are in the category of foreign. : love you and keep doin you!
hahah, "You Okay?" or "Are you alright?" is a strange thing to hear when you get to a cashier unless you're in Ireland. As someone that worked in retail, I was not expecting that greeting at all and was like, "ah bummer, thats twice now.... Do I look upset or tired or something?" on my first couple visits to Irish shops.
Similar to my confusion when I asked for a chicken fillet baguette.. and kept messing it up... I once asked for a "Chicken Fillay Baguay" Yeah, people fell about the place cracking up! And my coworker just shook his head.
I worked in one place where you would not have been allowed to use "overly familiar" or contractions of words. Even had one specific instance of , "Do not use 'Buddy' when speaking to people." As it could be taken offensively. Some people took a lot of offense to, "Let me know if you need a hand with anything buddy." (Depending on demographic)
I love Ireland and want to return and wish I could live on the Emerald Isle. So interesting the Irish immigrated to the United States and now more and more Americans are immigrating to Ireland. I understand.
Cory Miller it was a very respectful video. It was nice hearing positive things about us. You gonna get your hands dirty and cover the darker side of country. I think we can take it. I know this will put you out of your comfort zone but a fresh perspective is a great advantage and we have the ol 'Forrest from the trees' issue. Perhaps at least make the video while your thoughts are fresh and honest and post it years from now when your old and give less of a shit about people's opinion of you. Good luck on your journey!
Love vacationing in Ireland! The people the people make Ireland a great place... The taxi drivers were some of my best experience all over Ireland... I recommend taking taxis and talk to them, they are a knowledge of wealth and make you feel welcomed!!!
thank you for this video. my dream is to move to Ireland and stay for the rest of my life. still a few years off but this just makes me want to do it more. scary but i cant wait. thank you
You're not the only one. I still have 2 years until I can move to Ireland but I can't wait. I wanted to move to an English speaking country since I was like 10.
Oonagh Mcalinden I’d agree but the people r very special we are very friendly and have time for people. A lot of other places don’t want to know anything about u. Imo
I find it so strange how people from other countries see Ireland compared to Irish people. In general we all just give out about things because we take the positives as just being there and we dont really notice them and we only tend to see the negatives of the country but people from other countries find it all so amazing and beautiful and it just hits me in a weird way. I guess it's just a case of the grass is always greener. I'm sure it happens with every country because i suppose it's probably human nature to be curious about other places. By the way you guys are very welcome to Ireland, you seem like a really genuine kind person and its nice to see that nowadays. I wish you and your family all the best for you guys' future together living here and I hope you always find it nice here (apart from the weather XD We can forgive you if you don't like that. It kinda comes with the territory) anyway have a nice day.
Awesome! I'm from Texas, my husband is from Dublin. He just got his green card and loves living here. We met a guy here from Cork who came to the U.S. and had married a Texas girl. What is it about Irish guys and Texas girls? Lol
Such a lovely video to watch. I know you uploaded this ages ago but I do hope things are still going good for you :) So cute hearing Dublin being called the east coast, I know we're in the East but I've still never heard of it being called this before :)
Thanks Corey. I'm also an original Californian living in Ireland. I agree with the culture shock. When I first got here, the first thing I noticed was how old everything is. I learned not to say, "I need a ride." LOL. It took about 4 years to feel that it's home. Thanks for posting such a nice video.
Fair play man! I hope your experience of living in Ireland continues to be a positive one! You seem like the kind of person who will do well wherever you go because you have a very positive attitude.
I agree, as an American moving to Ireland, that I vastly under-estimated the cultural learning that I would need to do because it was an English-speaking country I was moving to. I knew that it would be different, but I find that the Irish are very indirect communicators, which was a major adjustment for me.
Nice to hear you are enjoying Ireland, I appreciate you caring about our culture and just want to not to worry about having to please everyone. Hope you have a good time here.
Your attitude is lovely. It's easy for us as Irish people to get frustrated with some American tourists who come with a terrible attitude. But at the same time, maybe those people just haven't been lucky enough to have experienced many different cultures outside their own country (or sometimes State!), and hopefully Ireland can get them to change that. Enjoy the rest o your time in Dublin. P.S the wings in Tribeca in Ranelagh are the tits.
They’re jet lagged and having to move around and stuff needing caffeine. Ireland is an entirely different frequency lol. When I went it took about a week to sort of start feeling it. America has a charge to it and Ireland is more zen when you finally sync with it I think. Rats are always uncomfortable at first when you let them out of the cage. Hope you are well.
im irish and its great hearing you say ireland .just ireland not the republic of ireland like some people say. I like your country America ireland is a depressing country at times like when its raines but when the sun is out it looks positive .
Fairies across the mersey! If only they could be kinder to Mancs. (sigh...). Still, that IS the best way to encounter people worldwide unless/until they demonstrate they aren't worth it. Respectful people, like yourself, Cory, should be welcome anywhere......
I love your spirit. Your perspective, is right on. I hope you will like living in Ireland. I am from Ireland and live in Colorado. Fortunately the economy is better there now than it was in the 80’s. The people have a better and higher standard of living than ever before, best of luck to you.
Hello,Corey. Well you seem to have fitted in quite well, so far. We are an inquisitive lot. Sometimes because we are jut being nosey or, asking an indirect question. The story goes that, if you ask an Irishman where the nearest, Post office is. He/She, might answer with a question, like " Is it a stamp you want ? " This question is usually asked, to let you that there is an alternative to a post office. A stamp could be purchased in the near by corner shop, rather than going to a post office for same. " Just to save you bother." As we might say. I hope that you are fully established in Ireland by now. Keep your accent, it makes a change from the local one.
You are experiencing what it's like to know a little more about the world than your childhood bubble. I experienced this in London and also gained a lot of positives. The people were great and I did gain an appreciation of how I behaved and sounded. Lovely vid.
I was told it's very hard for an American to just up n move to Ireland. Is it pretty easy? Cuz I wanna move there. Permanently too. Not just a visit. Where do I even begin? I was told Americans can only stay temporary. That they really don't want us permanently. I'm very interested in Galway.! 😘
I'm not sure who told you Americans can only stay in Ireland temporarily but I can say as and Irish citizen, that is not true. It depends on what kind of life you want to live here Dublin is fast cause if the city. Galway is a beautiful place. Céad milé failté.
useacondompeople galway is very nice but maybe places like Ballina in mayo very nice or Athlone. Athlone and Ballina have similar populations about 20,000 - 30,000 Ballina is in North Mayo and Athlone is in westmeath in middle of Ireland very nice towns, but if your interested in big cities you could consider place like Cork, Limerick, Galway, waterford and Dublin, Dublin is capital of Ireland with a population of 1,100,000 people and Galway the place that your interested in has about 100,000 people and it's only temporary if you are going college here something like that
Jeez Elaine, if you are going to use the 'cúpla focail', at least google it and get it right: it's "míle fáilte", not "milé failté"! What are ye at in the border counties?
Welcome to Ireland, most important thing to do, is get out of Dublin and explore what Ireland has to offer.. Ireland is The Island of Ireland, not life in Dublin.. Enjoy..
I think you are already a bit Irish. I am Irish and live in the Netherlands. Much of what you say I experienced here. Basically I haven't changed. Living in the Netherlands hasn't been easy as it is an individual society. You have a great chance in Ireland to feel at home and I do detect your love for Ireland and the people has begon. That's all you need. Enjoy life there. I hope to return to Ireland in a few months time.
I didn’t expect to like this video lmao I normally get quite territorial you could say about being Irish. Like I hate when people are like I’m 1/65 Irish, but this video was so wholesome and not annoying, I loved this lol
Thanks Merz, I appreciate that :) Lots of people with strong opinions in these comments so it's nice to hear some positive feedback once in a while 😂 Cheers!
I found your video whilst researching the prospect of moving to Ireland as an Expat, and I found it to be helpful. Especially for those who have never lived overseas. We get trapped in this mental stigma as Americans of how things "should be done". And you absolutely nailed it; be open to new experiences. I lived in Italy for 2 years and visited other countries in the surrounding areas. You learn to just, ride the wave if you will. See how they do things. Get rid of the notion that things will be just like the states. Italians don't eat dinner at 5 or 6 pm, they eat at like 8 or 9 sometimes. I was also able to visit Ireland for a week and just heartbroken when I left. I miss the views, the food, and the people. Never have I felt more welcome anywhere than my time there. I am hoping to start a transition over there within the next year or two. I hope your time there has been a great experience.
I was looking for Brazilians living in Ireland, and i found this video, i liked it very much, really nice, the background music is very relaxing too... :)
It's so nice to hear an American who's actually kind and informed when taking about Ireland. Something that's really refreshing to hear an American actually know Ireland.
I'm jealous. My father is from Limerick so I am citizen and could move there. Would love to. I've been there a number of times and always loved it. Great friendly people including my relations there. I've done some extended work holidays there and other European cities as a software engineer I can work remotely for up to three months at a time.
I hadn't noticed the ,"you alright?" thing in Ireland, although I've heard it often in England. A lot of Irish phrasing seems to come from England. "Different to" rather than "different from," etc. I know the one sure way to infuriate certain Irish people, as someone with an American accent, is to announce how Irish you are. Claiming to be one quarter Irish or half Irish really sets them off. I always let them rant before pointing out that I'm an Irish citizen, therefore "technically" as Irish as they are.
I'm also an Irish citizen too because of my dads birth there and grateful for the rights of an EU citizen that gives me but I wouldn't say I am just as Irish, technically I guess means legally which is technically accurate with the Irish government but not really in experience. As a tech professional I have lived and worked in Ireland's tech economy which has strong ties to Silicon Valley, California. I have close friends, family and colleagues there and lived there but not as Irish as someone who was born and bred there.
@@timlinator Yes youre a citizen because of someone elses birth. ''Not as Irish as someone born and bred here'. Exactly! Not Irish at all. When youre abroad, no one hears your accent and asks where in Ireland youre from or says 'oh youre Irish'. They ask where in the US are you from. Thats because you arent Irish. You have an Irish dad. Huge difference in being Irish and having Irish citizenship.
Of course there are jobs outside of the capital, it just depends what line of work you're in whether you can find a job or not. Or you could be self employed. If you feel like a social outcast what efforts do you make to interact with people? no matter where you live in the country you can always find one person who doesn't fit the GAA loving or sports mad person who spends their weekends in the pub. You just have to find them. The last bit I agree with though. We vote the same people in expecting different results :/
Dia duit Cory. I hope your family and you have settled well by now. For what it's worth I think your attitude is great and your assessment too. if your ever in the north of Ireland I'll have a pint waiting for you.
Very good! I'm Brazilian and I had ever visit Dublin for few days and I loved. In the next year I going to study in Dublin for one or two years and It is really good to listen you say good things about the country. If you don't mind me asking, do your daughters like to live in Ireland? Bye!
Lad stop worrying yourself. You're welcome here; just go out and enjoy it.
Doing my best :)
In California it's a lot about putting on airs and we're always right. So I think he feels he has to totally become Irish overnight. Of course that's just one small part of the US if you every really get to travel here you'll find each state is almost like a separate country.

Being genuine.... What a joke you're one of the most fake people in the world you're not that different than Americans stop kidding yourself.

Erin go Bragh brother!
My political spectrum is more right than you and about 3 boxes up from the Center just noticed that 😂😂
Pro Tip: If an Irish person insults you, insult yourself and he'll be your best friend
That won't be so hard considering the catalog of self deprecating insults for Americans like myself is larger than the Bible lol
You come across as an open minded individual and I wish you all the best for your time in Ireland.
kobathedread Thank you very much 😊 I certainly try to be.
You are so unlike my perception of an American. Your good manners are a credit to your nation.
Cheers Nick, I really appreciate that, thanks for your kind words :)
DesertHigh No, it's because everyone has their own personality. That's not determined by what state you live in. There are a lot of airheads in California. He happens not to be one of them. The same could be said for every state.
DesertHigh Sorry if I offended you but I'm just opposed to ridiculously over-generalized generalizations. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. It was our job to do everything he speaks about - fit in, listen, learn, adapt, help. My training group of fellow volunteers had people from all over the country. There was no difference based on geography about how well a person did in the job. It was based on who they were as a person. And most of the people in my group did very well because, no matter where they came from, they came with the right attitude.
Nick Caffrey - Do you assume all Americans are the same?
DesertHigh - The rest of the country is not homogeneous. lol I'm from the Upper Midwest and we're nothing like people on the east coast, or even those in the southeastern part of the US.

It's really important to be sure. I also think that's one of the biggest downsides to the "travel" culture of our generation, where people just sort of trample around the world and not worry about what's happening in the places they're going. Understanding the world is more than just going there, it's about listening and asking questions and being invested.

While that makes perfect sense...nobody wants to hear foreigners who are sure they have everything figured out, including you, it's disingenuous to pretend this is just an "American" trait. After working in the tourist/hotel business for decades, I have learned that even though Europeans attribute this attitude to all Americans, they themselves often demonstrate this same attitude loudly and proudly. I love talking to foreign visitors, but I've been lectured, mocked, hectored and teased by French, Italian, German, English, Australian, and Irish people about "what's wrong with the USA.". I've heard things like "at least we don't allow our children to be gunned down in school" or "we're not racist like you Americans are" or the classic "Americans simply have no taste". I don't mind the actual criticism as much as I mind the hypocrisy of holding Americans to a different standard than they hold themselves to.
Fair enough. But you have to realise that we too have our arrogant loudmouths who are quick to criticise what they don't properly understand.
I hate and fear the gun culture in the US. It's a reason I would not go there. But, I understand that the debate around it goes to the heart of what it is to be an American. As an outsider, I cannot hope to properly comprehend this. So, I shut up in the company of Americans if this topic arises.
Tarring all with the same brush is just the thing you are complaining about yourself.
Just visited Ireland and loved it. Like you we are from California, USA. Loved the Irish people, the culture and the HISTORY of the country. We were in Dublin, Kilkenny, Cashel, Ballina, Enniscrone, drove the Wild Atlantic Way, and Belfast. I felt very comfortable in Ireland. Was completely at home there.
Tone is important when speaking to Irish people. When people ask you how you are, a typical Irish response it 'Ah, not too bad' but it is said in a positive way. A Spanish girl I work with took it to mean that we are always looking at things from a negative perspective. However, I recently overheard a conversation between an Irish woman and a Polish man and when asked how he was, he cheerily replied, 'not too bad thanks', and I thought, he gets it. Similarly, we swear a lot but sometimes it is lighthearted everyday talk and sometimes it is not.
Sira Mea maybe that's where Americans got our habit of asking "how are you? Good." More simplified anyway.
Chinese does the same thing, with "ni hao" ("you good?") and "bu cuo" ("not bad").
@@Swenthorian in bettin PADDY POWERS..
That's also very common in the US Midwest/South. In more rural areas.
Haha its probably common all over the world. I've seen Irish celebrities on chat shows and they often say that people from such a place are very like the Irish and someone else says the very same thing about some other country on the other side of the world so its dawned on me that we're all much the same no matter what part of the world we live in just members of the human race trying to make a living and wondering what's it all about.
There's no "kind" about it bud, just being genuine gets you accepted 🖒
Yeah that's the key. Be yourself and be genuine. I think there's nothing more instantly off-putting to us than anyone having 'notions' hah.
Just be yourself and f**k the begrudgers any ways how are things now assuming u haven't gotten fed up with us and headed back to America
The Irish are solar powered. When they go abroad they're tremendous workers but with the weather here...
The weather here isn’t that bad it’s not too cold and not too hot. Ireland and England have some of the best weather for day to day living in the world.
A joke i heard from my Irish relatives from the West: If you see two dark shapes in the distance and they move, they're crows. If they don't move, it's two Irishmen working.
JimmieOakland: LMAO!
I love rain ahhh c:
I remember myself and my father out working one time and we were drenched wet carrying coats heavy with rain and Wellington's and I said to him no wonder the Irish are such good workers when we go abroad were so used of dragging our feet out of muck and carrying big heavy coats that when we get out of them no job is hard. He just laughed at the time but I heard him saying it to another neighbour a while after
Canadian here. Just got back from a trip there. Loved it. My wife just recieved her Irish citizenship by descent. In before our first born so we can pass it on. May move one day!
calgaryman2583 don’t
calgaryman2583 my girlfriend is from Minnesota, she’s applying through descent. Was it difficult? Thank you in advance :)
Your kid can only get citizenship in Ireland if her parent or grandparent was born in Ireland. Your wife will never be considered an Irish woman. Just letting you know.
ciara murphy thanks, her great gran parent was Irish, she’s asking her grandparent and subsequently her mother to apply first. Bit of a stretch but we’ll see! Thanks for reply :)
Its called the 'Granny rule' for a reason. Hopefully it will be scrapped next year. Irish passport is being degraded .
I think the fact that you want to understand and try to respect our country/culture is half the battle. I think that's all people expect.
I think people undervalue how far just a little bit of a respect goes when it comes to other cultures, for sure.
Nugget really enjoyed this video. You may have the first nugget of friendship.
Appreciated, Nugget.

Cute xD
Omg nugget here I brought you Irish nuggets 🇮🇪
NUGGET DO NOT BITE OFF YOUR ARM, WE WILL FREE YOU FROM THE FAKE NUGGET CAVE
You sound like a lovely chap. Hope you enjoy your stay in Ireland and we treat you well :) Don't forget to visit West Cork, Kerry and Donegal! stunningly beautiful scenery there.
greenknitter Hey thanks very much! I've spent a little bit of time in each of those but definitely not enough, would love to get out there again soon 😊
greenknitter you forgot mayo and galway fuck the other 3 no one cares about them
Hah ok. I think the millions of tourists to those places every year would beg to differ, but of course Galway and Mayo are well worth seeing. I love Galway city myself.
@@jackohaire1616 what?? Donegal is absolutely gorgeous ya numpty !!
Tracey Nesbitt. Not as beautiful as ashford castle and the scenery around Cong in the south of mayo
My father is from Ireland so I am a citizen and have been there many times. I loved it, if I could convince my spouse to move there we would.
Bob Scott- Perhaps if you could persuade her to come for a holiday first,you never know sure she might fall in love with the place?? Ye'd be welcome anyway!
@@notamused3715 We've been there a few times and she does love it but also loves here job and California.
@@timlinator Ah, yes work is always a sticking point-plus the weather ,lol,though I'm boiling today from doing the dinner and we've no heating on at all, t'is like the tropics!!!
@@notamused3715 Well I find the weather in Ireland better than New York but not quite as nice as California. I'm not real hung up on the weather nor is she. I think the job issue is the bigger point. Mine is not a problem, I work for a tech company that has offices in Ireland allows me to work remotely. She would have to find a job there.
@@notamused3715 We're starting to talk about children and neither one of us wants to send them to school where they could get shot. Sick gun culture here.
I'm an Irishman from Newry living in San Mateo, California. This video really offered me a fresh perspective on being an immigrant in another country. I've experienced a lot of culture shock, more than I had anticipated. I thought "I grew up watching American TV, I follow American sports, I should fit right in, right?" While this hasn't been completely the case, over time I have come to appreciate that "hey, my way might not always be the right way", not to let go of my understanding of the world but to allow myself the space to appreciate where other people are coming from. Anyway, I appreciated your video!
Cheers! Say hi to California for me :)
Newry in Northern Ireland??
@@patricka1475 still Ireland

@Martin Mc Taggart Welcome! Out of curiosity, what have you found difficult to adjust to, and what was surprisingly easy?
We're a very open people, we love chatting, we love people. If you're open so are we. Welcome to this beautiful little island!
Thank you! We’re loving it here.
Glad to hear it! And thanks for your kind words about us...
really interesting to hear your perception of our little island. humbled by your kind words. I suppose you could say "I appreciate you" lol 😊 great vid Cory 😊
😆 I love it here, and I appreciate YOU! :)
startsrelax I'm Irish, it's fun.
Interesting video,, funnily enough i was speaking with an american yesterday whos now living in this part of the world and having done so now for a few years , his opinion of "america" has changed.
He told me "we arnt the greatest country in the world", and he feels americans are very insular and know little of the "outside world" and that the world doesnt revolve around the US.
As an American who has lived abroad including Europe and Australia I agree. US is not the greatest not even close. I live in San Francisco which I think is the best US city but would love to move back to Europe if I could get my spouse to agree. My father is from Limerick so I am an Irish/EU citizen and don't a visa. Just need to convince my spouse.
Bob Scott US is so bad why does everyone want to immigrant there.
i’d love to move to Ireland one day. though i’m only 16 i already have goals to move there. your description in this video assured me that i will be fine. may the road rise up to meet you
My wife and I visited Ireland a couple years ago and have since decided that we would like to relocate there one day, maybe retirement since neither of us have a career path that would warrant it until then. Growing up as a military brat and traveling as an adult, I've been lucky enough to visit a good fair share of countries but no country made an impact on me the way Ireland did. The country is beautiful and the people are lovely. We both felt at peace there and would love the chance to experience Irish life firsthand long-term. Thanks for the insight that you guys have given us. Look forward for more updates. Slainte.
Julian Martin do it you won't regret it 😊😊
martseabrook that's bullshit 1m Nigerians ??? Do you even live in here ?
Good luck with your dream Julian. We will be very glad to have you :)
martseabrook FRO you racist shite
pete 1 moronic racist 🙄🙄
I have a few friends who came from the States originally and now live here in Eire and I must say, they're some of the most genuine people I know.
Glad you're enjoying your time here. We can be a bit closed off and negative as a people go but I hope you can see past this and give us a chance.
Your probably the last person I should be saying this to Padraig but I'd say the same about some English friends I have who moved here
After spending a few months in England I just found Ireland so vibrant and refreshing. England felt empty? No character where as Ireland exudes magical character ( simply wonderful )
Good to hear this country is treating you alright Cory.
Cool vlogs...
Thank you Peter! Loving it here.
Your such a nice dude! was expecting some hate as I live n Ireland myself and typically we get a lot of hate from outsiders and your one of the nicest Americans I have seen so far, not saying Americans are mean at all! just what iv'e experienced so far well done dude!
That's a strange comment. I'm Irish and have never experienced any hate from outsiders. Maybe you need to change your ways.
I love when people come here and are interested in getting to know our culture. I love when people ask questions about it and it's great to learn about other their cultures too. I've met so many interesting people since I moved to the city as people who move to Ireland tend to stay in the cities.
I love Ireland. The people, the energy, the natural beauty. There are good and bad things in every country but Ireland will always have a place in my heart.
I’ve walked the grand canal twice as a visitor from the USA. Irish people are genuine, kind, and it was an honor to walk among them.
There may be a stone structure along the grand canyon similar to the Giant's causeway in Northern Ireland.
Jaysus man, you are well sound and down to earth. I hope that your stay here has continued to be good and you and your family have enjoyed every second!
I've been seriously considering relocating to Ireland from NYC.. Having ancestry from both Ireland and France (rather recently) and being quite fed up with how our Country's gone berserk politically and culturally; I'm looking to gaining the courage, as my ancestors did, to starting a new life in a land foreign from what I know; all for the sake of having a better sense of self and community!
Lynda L I'm with you. This country is getting really old and I'm over it and done. I'm moving to Ireland after I become a famous actress in Hollywood and not have to work for the rest of my life.
Lita Coppola, you don't need fame & fortune to relocate. I'd suggest visiting Ireland first; before coming up with such "fantastic" conclusions!..
Lynda what would you do if you came to Ireland , where would u go ? do u know anything about Ireland (serious question )
Ya join us over here.
Just one piece of advice I'll give is leave your feelings at home. In Ireland we show affection by mocking each other endlessly. You'll soon get used to it and realise it means some ones likes you as a person. . They don't mean to actually offend you but if you said this stuff in America people would probably more times than not be offended..
And a lot of the time we mean the complete opposite of what we say and there's a huge amount of sarcasm in our speech.
It takes times getting used to like he said it's like a new English but there's a kind of charm about it.
On the plus side it's extremely easy to make new friends and get into new friend circles.
Us irish aren't what the english media make us out to be, what you might see of the news against us is made 100 times worse by english media... Have a holiday here first adn see for yourself how we are
Cory, could you please share a video on exactly how you moved to Ireland, the steps you took, how long it took, papers and forms needed, banking, buying a home, healthcare, etc. I'm considering my options for the future. Thank you.
'Listening is the essence of respect' ; and democracy. Cheers, Cory.
i work in an irish gift shop and some americans are so lovely! overall some things that get on our nerves are
1) when you group us as part of britain
2) when you say pounds instead of euro’s
3) when you ask for a pronunciation and then say it completely differently ( celtic is pronounced KELL TICK )
4) when you guarantee that you are irish even though you were born and raised in america to two american parents and this is the first time you have been in ireland
5) don’t complain about the rain, you haven’t had to deal with it as long as we have
ella flynn
Americans like their ethnic backgrounds and many of them are interested in their "roots". Embrace it rather than dismiss it.
Sometimes in America they may have married among their own communities over several generations -Irish to Irish,Italians to Italians or whatever.
It's awesome to have a guy like you live on our little island, and we love having you here
Thanks Paul! Enjoying being here 😊
I love how real and genuine you are
Being Irish this was super interesting particular the "are you okay" thing I never thought about that before and how it has two meanings here really
Very well said Cory, you are warmly welcomed.
hey corey i know how you feel. except the opposite. i went over to orange county the first time and then to san diego. im an irish woman. there were so many americanisms i didnt understand and made quite a few ignorant cultural boo boos, welcome to Ireland
When I read orange county I thought Northern Ireland xD
sean mc cann lol. SAME 😂😂
remember that Americans are isolated from worldly cultures ***most of the time*** and can be ignorant to how languages and culture works outside of continental US, not dis just stating.. try easing them into your reality.. :) love you!
btw orange country especially is exempt from cultures outside of US, currently live in SOCO, (southern orange county California) and i can attest to the taboo of foreign culture, www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/orangecountycalifornia/PST045216
at time of post 72%white and 30% foreign population minus the borne persons in country. so even though most irish are white understand that they are in the category of foreign. : love you and keep doin you!
What cultural boo boos did you make? If you don't mind sharing. Thanks
hahah, "You Okay?" or "Are you alright?" is a strange thing to hear when you get to a cashier unless you're in Ireland. As someone that worked in retail, I was not expecting that greeting at all and was like, "ah bummer, thats twice now.... Do I look upset or tired or something?" on my first couple visits to Irish shops.
I had a few similar experiences, and fortunately had someone explain to me early on that that's what is the normal thing to say.
Similar to my confusion when I asked for a chicken fillet baguette.. and kept messing it up...
I once asked for a "Chicken Fillay Baguay" Yeah, people fell about the place cracking up! And my coworker just shook his head.
Busters Garage: Of course, an American greeting is "How ya doin'?" When the asker really doesn't care to know....
I worked in one place where you would not have been allowed to use "overly familiar" or contractions of words. Even had one specific instance of , "Do not use 'Buddy' when speaking to people." As it could be taken offensively. Some people took a lot of offense to, "Let me know if you need a hand with anything buddy." (Depending on demographic)
That bothered my wife immensely when she moved to the US from Austria.

I love Ireland and want to return and wish I could live on the Emerald Isle. So interesting the Irish immigrated to the United States and now more and more Americans are immigrating to Ireland. I understand.
Somebody get that dude a pint!
Oisin Lally I fully support this idea.
Cory Miller it was a very respectful video. It was nice hearing positive things about us. You gonna get your hands dirty and cover the darker side of country. I think we can take it. I know this will put you out of your comfort zone but a fresh perspective is a great advantage and we have the ol 'Forrest from the trees' issue. Perhaps at least make the video while your thoughts are fresh and honest and post it years from now when your old and give less of a shit about people's opinion of you.
Good luck on your journey!
I’ll definitely keep that in mind ;) Thanks!

Thanks for this. Moving to Dublin in January. Very excited. What you say really resonates with my brief experience there.
I find it so strange how people from other countries see Ireland compared to Irish people. In general we all just give out about things because we take the positives as just being there and we dont really notice them and we only tend to see the negatives of the country but people from other countries find it all so amazing and beautiful and it just hits me in a weird way. I guess it's just a case of the grass is always greener. I'm sure it happens with every country because i suppose it's probably human nature to be curious about other places. By the way you guys are very welcome to Ireland, you seem like a really genuine kind person and its nice to see that nowadays. I wish you and your family all the best for you guys' future together living here and I hope you always find it nice here (apart from the weather XD We can forgive you if you don't like that. It kinda comes with the territory) anyway have a nice day.
What a thoughtful post. Great information. Thank you so much! I look forward to experiencing this one day as well. My best to you.
This was great Cory, as I've told you before I'm moving back to Ireland next year with my wife from Texas so this had a lot of great information
For sure!
Awesome! I'm from Texas, my husband is from Dublin. He just got his green card and loves living here. We met a guy here from Cork who came to the U.S. and had married a Texas girl. What is it about Irish guys and Texas girls? Lol

Very well said. I'm an American going to Ireland for the first time later this month and I found your video extremely helpful. Cheers mate, subbed.
These are so good. I love this format!
Thanks Ben! Really enjoying making these ones.
Such a lovely video to watch. I know you uploaded this ages ago but I do hope things are still going good for you :) So cute hearing Dublin being called the east coast, I know we're in the East but I've still never heard of it being called this before :)
Thanks Corey. I'm also an original Californian living in Ireland. I agree with the culture shock. When I first got here, the first thing I noticed was how old everything is. I learned not to say, "I need a ride." LOL. It took about 4 years to feel that it's home. Thanks for posting such a nice video.
Oh man, the amount of times I've said that and gotten looks 😆
"I need a ride" oh lolol I can just imagine the response to that! I presume you ask for either a lift or a spin these days then?
And when in Australia never have a root in your sock drawer.
Just root for the team.
Fair play man! I hope your experience of living in Ireland continues to be a positive one! You seem like the kind of person who will do well wherever you go because you have a very positive attitude.
Thank you! We're having a good time here :)
I agree, as an American moving to Ireland, that I vastly under-estimated the cultural learning that I would need to do because it was an English-speaking country I was moving to. I knew that it would be different, but I find that the Irish are very indirect communicators, which was a major adjustment for me.
Lol not that indirect. If the don't like you. Believe me you will know
Nice to hear you are enjoying Ireland, I appreciate you caring about our culture and just want to not to worry about having to please everyone. Hope you have a good time here.

You come across as a nice guy, and thanks for the lovely compliments you have portrayed in your video about Ireland. All the best for your future!
Your attitude is lovely. It's easy for us as Irish people to get frustrated with some American tourists who come with a terrible attitude. But at the same time, maybe those people just haven't been lucky enough to have experienced many different cultures outside their own country (or sometimes State!), and hopefully Ireland can get them to change that. Enjoy the rest o your time in Dublin. P.S the wings in Tribeca in Ranelagh are the tits.
They’re jet lagged and having to move around and stuff needing caffeine. Ireland is an entirely different frequency lol. When I went it took about a week to sort of start feeling it. America has a charge to it and Ireland is more zen when you finally sync with it I think. Rats are always uncomfortable at first when you let them out of the cage. Hope you are well.
Glad to have you here son. Welcome to the Island.

I hope you will like living in Ireland. I am from Ireland and live in Colorado. Fortunately the economy is better there now than it was in the 80’s. The people have a better and higher standard of living than ever before, best of luck to you.
Hello,Corey. Well you seem to have fitted in quite well, so far. We are an inquisitive lot. Sometimes because we are jut being nosey or, asking an indirect question. The story goes that, if you ask an Irishman where the nearest, Post office is.
He/She, might answer with a question, like " Is it a stamp you want ? "
This question is usually asked, to let you that there is an alternative to a post office. A stamp could be purchased in the near by corner shop, rather than going to a post office for same. " Just to save you bother." As we might say.
I hope that you are fully established in Ireland by now. Keep your accent, it makes a change from the local one.
Nice guy. And great advice for anyone experiencing another culture. Glad you are enjoying your experience in Ireland.
Ah you'll be grand nice having you here lol I'm from Dublin by the way

Thanks David!
I was told it's very hard for an American to just up n move to Ireland. Is it pretty easy? Cuz I wanna move there. Permanently too. Not just a visit. Where do I even begin? I was told Americans can only stay temporary. That they really don't want us permanently. I'm very interested in Galway.! 😘
Check out www.inis.gov.ie, they've got all the information on available visas. It's not impossible, but definitely not easy. Good luck! :)
I'm not sure who told you Americans can only stay in Ireland temporarily but I can say as and Irish citizen, that is not true. It depends on what kind of life you want to live here Dublin is fast cause if the city. Galway is a beautiful place. Céad milé failté.
useacondompeople galway is very nice but maybe places like Ballina in mayo very nice or Athlone. Athlone and Ballina have similar populations about 20,000 - 30,000 Ballina is in North Mayo and Athlone is in westmeath in middle of Ireland very nice towns, but if your interested in big cities you could consider place like Cork, Limerick, Galway, waterford and Dublin, Dublin is capital of Ireland with a population of 1,100,000 people and Galway the place that your interested in has about 100,000 people and it's only temporary if you are going college here something like that
Its harder for Americans than it is for Europeans. It's possible though. I want to move there too but I guess I'm lucky. I live in Slovakia.
Jeez Elaine, if you are going to use the 'cúpla focail', at least google it and get it right: it's "míle fáilte", not "milé failté"!
What are ye at in the border counties?
Hi Cory, glad to hear your experience in Eire is positive - we all need to share the smile, love & friendship xx
Welcome to our beautiful country
Thank you! Love it here.
well spoken and beautiful, brother!
Welcome to Ireland, most important thing to do, is get out of Dublin and explore what Ireland has to offer..
Ireland is The Island of Ireland, not life in Dublin..
Enjoy..
I think you are already a bit Irish. I am Irish and live in the Netherlands. Much of what you say I experienced here. Basically I haven't changed. Living in the Netherlands hasn't been easy as it is an individual society. You have a great chance in Ireland to feel at home and I do detect your love for Ireland and the people has begon. That's all you need. Enjoy life there. I hope to return to Ireland in a few months time.
I didn’t expect to like this video lmao I normally get quite territorial you could say about being Irish. Like I hate when people are like I’m 1/65 Irish, but this video was so wholesome and not annoying, I loved this lol
Thanks Merz, I appreciate that :) Lots of people with strong opinions in these comments so it's nice to hear some positive feedback once in a while 😂 Cheers!
I found your video whilst researching the prospect of moving to Ireland as an Expat, and I found it to be helpful. Especially for those who have never lived overseas. We get trapped in this mental stigma as Americans of how things "should be done". And you absolutely nailed it; be open to new experiences. I lived in Italy for 2 years and visited other countries in the surrounding areas. You learn to just, ride the wave if you will. See how they do things. Get rid of the notion that things will be just like the states. Italians don't eat dinner at 5 or 6 pm, they eat at like 8 or 9 sometimes.
I was also able to visit Ireland for a week and just heartbroken when I left. I miss the views, the food, and the people. Never have I felt more welcome anywhere than my time there. I am hoping to start a transition over there within the next year or two.
I hope your time there has been a great experience.
I was looking for Brazilians living in Ireland, and i found this video, i liked it very much, really nice, the background music is very relaxing too... :)
Thanks for watching, Marcel, I appreciate you!
The beard and overall chill in this video has me sold. (SUBSCRIBED)
Alpha Male 😂😂😂 welcome! I appreciate you.
Welcome to Ireland bud.
Thank you very much!
Cory Miller did u ever come to Northern Ireland. The north coast is beautiful I love it there.
Loved your video. Hope you are enjoying your time in Ireland. Make sure to visit some of the countrysides in Ireland. Take care
The countryside is some of the best this island has to offer, for sure. Thanks for watching :)
It's happens to you because you are amazing person and your family, sorry for my English😜
Haha thanks very much!
Glad your having a good time. It’s great to see different nationalities interact in such a positive way.
It's so nice to hear an American who's actually kind and informed when taking about Ireland. Something that's really refreshing to hear an American actually know Ireland.
I'm jealous. My father is from Limerick so I am citizen and could move there. Would love to. I've been there a number of times and always loved it. Great friendly people including my relations there. I've done some extended work holidays there and other European cities as a software engineer I can work remotely for up to three months at a time.
I hadn't noticed the ,"you alright?" thing in Ireland, although I've heard it often in England. A lot of Irish phrasing seems to come from England. "Different to" rather than "different from," etc. I know the one sure way to infuriate certain Irish people, as someone with an American accent, is to announce how Irish you are. Claiming to be one quarter Irish or half Irish really sets them off. I always let them rant before pointing out that I'm an Irish citizen, therefore "technically" as Irish as they are.
I never experienced this. Funny how different personalities attract different reactions from the same people.
You might not have experienced it but I guarantee you that they were laughing at you if you said you were Irish.
I'm also an Irish citizen too because of my dads birth there and grateful for the rights of an EU citizen that gives me but I wouldn't say I am just as Irish, technically I guess means legally which is technically accurate with the Irish government but not really in experience. As a tech professional I have lived and worked in Ireland's tech economy which has strong ties to Silicon Valley, California. I have close friends, family and colleagues there and lived there but not as Irish as someone who was born and bred there.
@@timlinator Yes youre a citizen because of someone elses birth. ''Not as Irish as someone born and bred here'. Exactly! Not Irish at all. When youre abroad, no one hears your accent and asks where in Ireland youre from or says 'oh youre Irish'. They ask where in the US are you from. Thats because you arent Irish. You have an Irish dad. Huge difference in being Irish and having Irish citizenship.
@@Ciaradexy Eamon de Velara was born in New York to Irish mom. James Connolly born in Scotland.
This is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience.
without doubt Ireland is the best place to live on this planet
I've really enjoyed it here, I hope to be here a long time :)
Of course there are jobs outside of the capital, it just depends what line of work you're in whether you can find a job or not. Or you could be self employed. If you feel like a social outcast what efforts do you make to interact with people? no matter where you live in the country you can always find one person who doesn't fit the GAA loving or sports mad person who spends their weekends in the pub. You just have to find them. The last bit I agree with though. We vote the same people in expecting different results :/
It one of the best ones for sure. I want to move there since I'm 10. I will one day. I know I will. Cheers.
Please dont.
XD I’m from Northern Ireland I like it here a lot we r friendly people happy people. But the weather.........
Dia duit Cory. I hope your family and you have settled well by now. For what it's worth I think your attitude is great and your assessment too. if your ever in the north of Ireland I'll have a pint waiting for you.
I hope to take you up on that one day 💙
Very good!
I'm Brazilian and I had ever visit Dublin for few days and I loved.
In the next year I going to study in Dublin for one or two years and It is really good to listen you say good things about the country.
If you don't mind me asking, do your daughters like to live in Ireland?
Bye!
@Gibbon Fuck off with your EU.
