    You could go to a boards beers or a ladies lounge meet up.

    I think it would be diffcult for an Irish person to meet another paddy in Dublin these days.

    Definitely go along to a boards event.

    As Wilburt says, this is a great site where you can make new friends.. I assume you are working here, can you not make friends through work??

    Welcome to Ireland.. :pac:

    Welcome to Ireland ahappygirl. I am here from the UK. Live here full time, and don't miss it or want to go back! We had 2 Korean students stay with us last year. The names were difficult to say, it was something like Wan Suk and Wan Chi, so we called them Number 1 and Number 2!

    Edit: Definitely go to a boards beers! (we are organising one soon aren't we? Hint Hint!)

    thanks for your kind ~^ㅇ^*
    i think living in here is wonderful except for traffic,weather problem...
    but I'm pretty good at acclimating myself to dublins's weather
    (i can' believe now is summer though ^ㅇ^)
    anyway,i'm here to study english..so whenever i go to school to study english i always meet friends from another countries. that's why i couldn't find irish friends...ㅠㅇㅠ

    There's nothing planned at the moment and it might be a couple of months before the next one as we had two big beers recently. There'll be notices posted on the site when the next one has been organised.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion

Welcome to Ireland btw and don't get put off by the dubs the rest of the country are lovely (nah dubs are great also), especially ole Daniel (Warning do not click on link unless you want to be bored out of your skull by dreary Donegal man singing to old ladies) :pac:

    Welcome to Ireland ahappygirl, think having Irish co-workers must help a lot as all my Asian co-workers have always been asking me if I knew how they could meet others from their home countries who were here. Guess they got sick of us Irish pretty quickly...:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Welcome along! ^_^

    You should go to the next boards beers when it's on, it's fun and a lot of irish people doing what we do best! ;)

    Answer is it's a pictogram emoticon, the girl is as yet unfamiliar to our usage of smilies and so is using the method she is familiar with to express herself.

    Hello Korean girl .Your climate is not so great either .I live now in Thailand and see many Koreans with very white skin come here on holiday in big groups .They all wear big hats as if they are afraid of the sun burning their white skin .
    Irish people can be friendly but many are insular and can not understand other cultures .Unless you go to the pub and get drunk you are not one of them .Hence i am glad i am out of Ireland .

    Every single one of them? Bit of a generalisation.

    Rubbish and again, generalisations. You don't have to get drunk if you go to a pub in Dublin. There are plenty of clubs, organisations and events that don't include getting drunk, you just have to get out there.

    i disagree with you on that !
    korea has such a nice weather.
    we have four seasons.
    but, because now is summer in korea It is over 30 degrees !!
    yes ! korea's summer season is boiling hot !
    but we have a very lovely weather at spring,autumn~
    and korean usually prefer white skin to dark skin but it depends on people.
    in my case, i think dark skin is better because it looks healthy!

    I have a similar problem. I think Asian girls are hot but I can never find any on nights out. It's kind of annoying, you see loads during the day but as soon as the sun goes down they're gone!

    Are they solar powered or what?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 300 ✭✭rockdrummer


    Yes how can you meet asian women?
