Do you like Galway?

Seeing as we have a separate thread asking do you like Cork, Dublin and Limerick, thought I'd open one asking if you like Galway. I've only been there twice and I thought it was a nice spot but a bit over-rated.

I love Galway.... beautiful part of the country. My favourite place to getaway to bar the long drive!!!

An ephinany when I was 17. A wonderful city and a place where people seems to get friendly/nicer just by going there.

Now that I'm 23....full of crusties and Gael-Nazi's that are everywhere(but seem to shout a tad louder in Galway), who'd happily try re-animate Karl Marx in the NUIG science department.

Still lovely though. Salthill and the surrounding countryside on a great summers day though on a drive with friends is magical.

The people I met and made friends who shaped me into who I am in my formative years, I met in Galway. The place was the making of me.
So I can't thank it enough.

Cocky, smug and smelly. Galway thinks its it. (Cork knows its it but that's another thread)

I've seen this written in other threads on Boards.
I don't get it at all.
I've been here since September and love it.

Maybe I'm cocky, smug and smelly.
Oh...
