Trip to the big smoke

I'm going to Dublin on Saturday to watch the some of the show jumping in the RDS, and it got me thinking.


Do city folk like the out of town peeps dropping up and annoying them for the day?
In ireland the big day is the big yearly farmer migration to Dublin to shop for christmas.

In Auckland the city gets hit with non city people when ever there is a long weekend.

Wondering those the same happen the mini cities of Cork and Galweh too.




the things that wander across my mind at 1am :/

I hate the way so many of them call it "the big smoke" actually.

Jeez, chill out. They are mini cities. They're not even classified as cities by the EU.

Yer, Galway is huge....
...

Anywho, Dublin is a nightmare for driving to anyone not used to it. I'd say the Dubs probably know the tourist season has started when people are driving into the wrong lanes and going into certain zones that are closed during rush-hour.

I don't know about Cork, but in fairness, you couldn't call Galway a proper city. It's more of a large town really.

Well, they are mini cities after all. No point fighting that bit

Not staying. Gonna do the farmer thing and watch some show jumping, do some shopping and catch up with a friend I haven't seen since the last time I was back
