Don't ask anyone for a ride, in Ireland, it does not mean anything related to taking someone in a car from one place to another. (hint: its a sexual offer)
When they ask for a place with good crack, they just want to know where the party is at where they crack good jokes (not looking for drugs)
Chips are fries and they eat them with their forks.
Irish eat freakishly fast
I am glad I do not have a car, they drive on wrong side of the road and steer from opposite side of the car as we do
Off-Licenses are liquor stores and they are like every 3rd store along with hair/nail salons, pharmacys and pubs.
Don't take a taxi.
when asked, for example, if you want turkey or chicken, do NOT say "I'll take the chicken: or "I'll do the chicken". That (to the irish) means I want to have sex with the chicken.
Irish guys will openly make sexual comments towards you and try to touch you if you get close enough.
I have never seen so many pink houses, red or royal blue doors in my life.
If you are ready to go somewhere, you're kitted up. For example I got my scarf and jacket on, I'm 'kitted' up to go outside
They do not sell turkey here
Nor do they have crest whitening toothpaste
Light switches are opposite here- up is off, down is on?
If your shower is too hot and steamy- you will blow a fuse (I heard that, hasn't happened to me)
There are no plugs near mirrors- good luck to the girls trying to straighten and curl their hair- also no plug in the bathroom anywhere
If they say one thing, they mean the totally opposite.

They serve potatoes with everything
They had to search through allll of Ireland to find the only two attractive guys in Ireland to cast them in PS I Love You
Grocery stores suck- you have to pay for a cart, can not go out the in door without an alarm going off, you have to bring your own grocery bags, or purchase them at the checkout counter (that is for allll stores btw, even department stores) and you have to bag your own stuff, or awkwardly stack them in your hands if you did not get a bag.
Taylor you tell the best stories! Ireland will certainly remember you! Can't wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteOk add on to Irish people, all they do is freely stare at us like they can... They like to get really close and breath on you... even older guys it is really weird.
