ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ม.ค. 2024
- Leaving Belfast didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped -- but once we got to Dublin, our fortunes slowly turned around, and we had a blast exploring the city! From tasting the freshest Guinness one can taste, to exploring a one-of-a-kind exhibit at the university, to holding a UFC championship belt, Ireland had plenty of memorable experiences to welcome us with!

THANKS FOR WATCHING! ♡
Loving the drama but most of all - your resilience! Keep up the good work. Love traveling with you.
Irish is mandatory in the Republic, so all Irish citizens know their national language to some degree, but you wouldnt likely hear it spoken in Dublin due to its tourist-driven cosmopolitan landscape, you'd hear it spoken in the westerly parts of the Irish isle. Similarly when you were in Edinburgh, you'd hear people speaking English with a Scottish accent, perhaps a little colloquial vernacular at best, but not much more. ......however outside of the Scottish capital you'd be hard pushed to hear much if at all any English spoken, with most lowlanders speaking Scots or one of the many dialects therein (such as Doric in Aberdeen or Weegie in Glasgow) while in the Western Isles of Scotland Scottish Gaelic is more commonly spoken. Incidentally the latter of the two aforementioned Scottish languages (Scottish Gaelic) is mutually intelligible -for the most part- with Irish, both being celtic languages; as opposed to Scots which is more closely related to other Germanic languages like Dutch, Flemish, Frisian and, most notably, English.
btw, the whole going to Dublin to drink Guiness is so passé for us more seasoned world travellers (Cheap shot i know, sorry not sorry lol). the real magic in Dublin begins and ends with the Abra-Kebabra fast food outlets. delicious.
That's me onto your third video, so far so good.
Thank you for showing the realities of travel. It's all WORTH it, but it is not always a walk in the park!
Chin up. More will go wrong, but those will end up being some of your favorite stories!
😊❤😊 This is so true. Over all of these years some of my very favorite travel tales are the things that have gone wrong. That heightened tension, you remember every second. 😊😊😊 My Rome Polizi trying to get from the boons of the city to the train station is an epic tale😊❤😅😅😅
Well, the language is actually on the rise among young people in particular. Technology is actually helping in bringing the language back back. Dublin actually has Gaeltacht events around the city. Interestingly enough after 100 years of being independent, the Irish are finally becoming less colonized in their thinking.
That’s super interesting (and also fortunate) that it’s trending upward after so much time.
@@qlctravels the main national identity marker was catholicism but as the country as become largely secular people are identifying more with the language
What a bummer it was so stressful leaving Belfast😬So happy that things got better! I am glad I get to go with you. The library looks awesome!
Well you have made me want to go and visit Dublin. Nice!
"What a rollercoaster adventure from Belfast to Dublin! 🌍🚗 Despite the hiccups, it sounds like Dublin welcomed you with open arms and unforgettable experiences. Tasting Guinness, exploring unique exhibits, and even getting hands-on with a UFC championship belt-talk about a journey filled with memories! Here's to the highs and lows of travel, and the incredible stories they create! 🍀🥳 #DublinAdventures #TravelTales #MemorableMoments"
I’ve just caught up on this whole series, they are great! I hope you enjoy your trip!xx
Thanks, Christie! 😊
Rockin the Edinburgh Jacket 👌
Sad to hear from the broken microphone, that would upset me as well. Something I noticed especially this episode is your camera work and editing is really good. Watching your journey is so much fun.
Happy new year btw 🎉😊
Happy New Year to you! 😄 And thank you so much for the kind words!
If you make it to Wales, all our signs are in welsh and English. Glad your trip ended up well.
The flicker on your video is probably your camera settings. Power in North America is distributed at 60 hertz and in Europe it’s at 50 hertz. You can change a setting in your camera which will eliminate flickering under artificial lights.
Just watched both your Ireland videos. I see you had a setback at the start but so glad i9t got better after that. Happy travels folks. Awesome videos!
Thanks for watching! 🙂
im from Scotland but my great great great nan was born in dublin.elizabeth m f forrest.
I so get being down as a consequence of things going wrong and carrying that with you, and potentially affecting other aspects of your day or trip overall, and needing to - as Taylor says - Shake it off. Music works for me, and maybe that's partly why you need the earplugs (?) - but what also helps is doing what you did, which was to confront it and express it and understand why it was there and how it was affecting you. That in itself helped you to overcome it, as well as of course the sights and sounds you enjoyed later on.
I can see that what you are doing is not just chronicling your trip for the sake of having a TH-cam following, but so you can look back on it and maybe show it to a family down the line. But whatever the reasons, it's all a really good watch, not just to see what you make of places I know and have been to, and even lived in, but of places I don't and haven't. So yes, make sure you enjoy yourselves and not allow the videos to be too much of a burden, but also know you did a great job making them and they are accessible, and you are both really good hosts.
But also, yeah, I hope to hear less about Harry Potter from now on. But I suppose that some sort of American exuberance was bound to show its face :P
We appreciate the kind words, and also your insight. You’re 100% correct: this series isn’t meant to be a polished, top-tier travel show, but merely us documenting our experiences traveling for the very first time (though we strive to make it entertaining for a broader audience, of course). We love that people are following along, and absolutely appreciate everyone who watches, though at times some of our international audience forgets we’re also speaking to Americans back home who don’t already know the things we’re pointing out, or who may never see any of the things we’re seeing (so while much of these videos may be two Americans doing touristy things, it’s all completely new to us and those back home who follow us). We won’t be able to please everyone, or go to all the places everyone has suggested (at least on this trip), but we’re so, SO happy you and others are enjoying the videos. We’ve had a few other down days since Dublin, but we took T Swift’s words of wisdom and did, indeed, Shake It Off each time.
Long story short: Thanks for watching and reaching out! 😊
(Oh, and yes, music helps tremendously. 🎶)
🇮🇪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇮🇪
If they are outside the pub - they are smoking!
Dublin used to be a wonderful vacation spot. Sadly, after visiting again recently, it’s now a super expensive and tourist rip-off spot. Sad to see. Great video as always.
right. but country side is still good old.
Hey guys, so sad to see you a bit down. Traveling like you do, with a tight schedule and also making the vlogs looks like hard work. Hope you are resting enough ❤️
Also: when were you here, as I’m seeing still some green trees?
Looking forward to the next episode in nature 😍
Thanks, Kim! 😊 We were in Ireland in early-mid November.
Hey been loving these videos caught up tonight. Hope you’re having an amazing trip. I was wondering if you guys could make itinerary of where you went/ how much everything costed including flights there and back??
Thanks, Cam! 😄 Once we're back home, we definitely plan to make some videos breaking down the trip as accurately as possible, including how much we spent, ways we could have saved money in hindsight, etc.
This series is so good of the Uk trip
I would respectfully ask you to edit that remark Dublin is capital of the Republic Of ireland therefore not in the Uk
@@gallowglass2630 not a chance
😊 having a good chat with a new friend over a pint will al ays brighten your mood❤
Trinity College Library REALLY is just so beautiful 😊😊😊
Hi, you may have left Scotland but if you don't mind we'll tag along on the expedition.
I've never been to Dublin but it, understandably, looks so much like a large English city it feels strange to me it's a place still to be explored. We'll finally do that this year and vlog it too I reckon.
The more the merrier! 😄 We got that same impression about Dublin visually. There was still plenty to see and do, but honestly, it wasn't until we took a day trip outside the city that Ireland TRULY spoke to us. We got the experience we missed our first go around in Scotland, but hope to get when we visit the Highlands in a few weeks.
Looking forward to Baz and Dad Do Dublin! 🇮🇪
Dublin is small in comparison to Glasgow did open top bus ride in both Belfast and Dublin and i nevr cared to get off at Guinness factory as feel Guiness tends to go right through their leprechaun pants :D ..Ive been to Belfast and nothing great about it either as all they tend to smile at is they say the Europa hotel across from Crown bar is the most bombed hotel in Europe and locals all like saying such with a smile on their faces :) not amusing id say .. In Scotland regards both Edinburgh and Glasgow . Edinburgh being prettiest city of them all with most history ..Glasgow being largest and most friendliest .
As for Perth in Scotland and Inverness although smaller are the prettiest of all within UK or Rep of Ireland .
Well, Baz and Dad do Emerald park 😉
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad And the Munchkins from Phudlin shall me awaiting
@@fishingstevie8830 Depends how you think of dublin the population of the city is 560 000 whereas the dublin county or region as it is called now is 1.5million
That brass ball at the university… I’m sure I saw it in Rome back in 2017😄
You’re right! We were just touring the Vatican a few weeks ago and spotted it.
I was hoping you were going to see some of James Joyce's Dublin and show us. A definite must do if you return. Gaelic is the language you called Irish and is on the UNESCO endangered language list as "threatened" having only 20 - 30,000 speakers. Not dissimilar to English in North America ;-)
I'm loving the videos - i will be in the UK in March so writing down some of your recommendations - except for the harry potter stuff - i cannot with that stuff hahaha
Lol fair enough 🧙♂️🪄 We hope you have an amazing trip! And thanks for watching 😊
good Luck.. have a safe trip
This video is about the republic of ireland.Its not just semantics idea it took us centuries to get out under the rug colonialism,its a mistake you can't make when you visit which you will be more than welcome however you have to know that ireland apart from a corner in the north is a separate country and respect it as such
@@gallowglass2630 I think you are reading a lot into a TH-cam comment. Also I said videos not video.
Have you guys shared your entire itinerary yet, or are you planning it as you go along?
It's been a mix of both. We have a general route of cities/countries, but we've made tweaks several times throughout the trip. Nothing as laid back as "let's go wherever, whenever," but also not as strict as everything being booked weeks or months in advance.
If you tried to smile you might be less streased
🤔
Not true to say that us irish can't speak our language at all,its a compulsory subject in school so people have a few phrases however probably only a quarter of million speak it fluently and only 70 000 outside the education system speak it every day.
Those people outside the pubs were probably smoking as its illegal to smoke indoors,which ireland was the first country in europe to ban indoor smoking in public areas.
Connor Mcgregor is not terribly popular though he has made statements recently that ordinary people supported but not the establishment of course.
Thanks for the clarification about the language. Another commenter pointed out the number of fluent speakers is trending upwards, so that’d be great to see it come back with the newer generations.
And yeah, our tour guide for our Wicklow day trip mentioned Conor’s lack of popularity in Ireland. Pretty shocking to have fallen so low in just a few years, when (I’m assuming) he was highly regarded by most of his nation at the start of his career.
why go to Temple Bar??????!!!
Put the camera down and chill out
