10 handy tips to keep in mind before going to Ireland
Return to previous page
  • Whistling and waving hands won't get you a cab in Ireland. Showing a bit of leg might. If you are a handsome woman, that is. If you are not, don't bother.
  • Ceol agusCraic means music and fun. You will not lose your teeth from enjoying Irish craic. Unless you get into a bar brawl.
  • If your Irish accent is anything like Tom Cruise's effort in 'Far and Away,' keep it to yourself.
  • Leprechauns, they don't really exist. Really, they don't.
  • Guinness is great. No contest. But you need a good constitution to drink a lot of it, or else you are going to need the next photo.
  • The Irish toilet. One flush is enough. And it will become your good friend if you spend two weeks drinking Guinness.
  • Attention Irish-Americans. Don't say you are Irish to the Irish. It rubs them up the wrong way.
  • Never say no to a cup of tea and a sandwich. Never, do you hear me!
  • The Irish curse a lot. Case in point.
  • This thing doesn't mean a lot to Irish people, so go with their flow when you are in the Emerald Isle.
