Thats true, we used to head off there in the early 90s and there would not be a soul about. Nice and peaceful.

Well, the women in the parade were probably dressed up in funny suits and did have their faces painted

Thank you! THANK YOU! Finally someone else! Galway was my shopping city when I was growing up because I lived 50 miles away. All my friends loved the place and went on to uni there. I have never, ever been able to see what the fuss is about the place. It feels like a town and has crap architecture for the most part, plus the shopping is mediocre even now, and was utterly terrible when I used to shop there as a teenager in the late 90s.

I love me some Dublin, and Cork is nice too.

hmmm this is a tough one


Ansterdam is probably the most over-rated pretty much an expensive sh!thole.

Paris is a bit of a sh!thole and the people generally arent up for the 'craic'.

Vegas is a tad over-rated too like for the money it costs.

Bangkok well over-rated - pretty much just one street

For me, it's probably Brisbane, it just felt souless.

Australia - a few decent thinsgs to see / do but they are about 3000km apart. South America, Bolivia for example has so much more to offer but just doesn't have the marketing budget! (Plus, no boorish people )

Never been, but I've heard that said a fair few times, about a number of the Australian cities.

You are 100% correct I could not agree more

Squirm

The south of Thailand. The islands etc. I thought Bangkok was a million times better than I had heard (once you left behind the Koh San Rd that is) and the islands were a million times less good. Especially when compared to other places I have visited. Perhaps if I had not travelled much prior to going there I would rate them higher. The amount of tourists and how generic they have all become was a tab depressing though.

Go past Cliffs of Moher until you get to an "s" in the road. Take the road down to the right and just park at the side of the road.
