    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to the forums, and am happy to be here.

    I've been programming for a living for the past years and just recently left my job to travel in Europe.

    My first destination is Ireland, where I due to arrive this summer.

    I'd be happy to make friends with people here (:

    Cheers!

    haha such a warm welcome!

    Thanks!

    Say guys,

    How's the Hitech industry in Ireland?

    Is it thriving?

    I'm doing RT Embedded and was wondering how common it is in Ireland.

    It used to be Hitech, then they changed what and what Hitech is now seems weird and scary to me! And it'll happen to you!

    To be honest, not great. In fact I think I'm the only one that wears a pair of them.

    By RT embedded, I presume you're a journalist quivvering in a ditch beside some Pro-Russian Ukranian fighters, clutching a video camera.. no wonder you need a holiday.

    Oh! It's a tecchie yokiemajig? Know feck all about them - you'd want to head to Town for that sort of thing.

    Hi Aineoil

    I plan to visit Dublin first for a few days, and then explore Ireland's country side, which looks amazing in the photos!

    Where are you located in Ireland?

    Uh oh. Of all the Irish forums you could have stumbled across, I'm afraid you've hit the saloon.

    Still, good luck on your travels, it is a beautiful country to visit.

    Who is holding you hostage and have you seen any landmarks that might give a hint as to your location? I'll call the guards.

    Raise the alarm in the two Gardai threads - you have the choice of the corrupt ones or the starving ones!

    Irish people are for the most part friendly and you seem like a friendly person yourself so you'll have a grand time. The western coast is not to be missed - check out the Cliffs of Moher - they're fairly spectacular.
