Hello Dublin
Dublin Dublin. Some say its not really Ireland. A multi diverse city that became home to a whole lot of immigrants. Last decade, Ireland experienced a massive economic boom and became home to many multi national companies. This created many jobs and so, europeans and elsewhere wonderers flew in for opportunities.
The city may had not been prepared for this massive boom. Transportation, housing, and inflation crisis are very well felt and do inflict worry-some challenges to those who decide to live in the city.
Ireland seems not to have been prepared for this sudden growth. As a new Economic hub, and as many say “the new rich”, the green country is adapting and trying to match the “standards” of a developed nation.
When you visit Dublin, while strolling and touristing you will live this diversity, but you will strongly experience the Irishness - through the stone wall Irish Pubs, live Irish music at O’Donoghues every weekend (unique), the traditional of Dublin’s oldest Pub The Bazen Head, some sips of Irish’s favorite Guinness beer, a walk along the Leffy river, and perhaps a green leprechaun hat as a souvenir …
Important notes: Ireland is European Union - so bring your euros. Dublin is expensive! - Beer average price is 6 euros. Transportation around 3 euros each way.
Places to visit and recommended: The Guinness Storehouse and Tour, Jamesson Distillery , The Epic Emigration Museum, Dublinia Vikings Museum, The Dublin Castle, Stephens Green, The Docs and the Phoenix Park (said to be the largest one in Dublin).
Last but definitely not least, I hope you are lucky to get a lovely, but rare, sunny day in Dublin - the sunsets from the Leffy river bridges are quite an experience! Happy Dublin Days!
