tourist things to do

I have a 22yr old cousin coming over from the states for two weeks in October. What tourist thing should I bring her to? It is her first time outside of the states.

Show her some real Irish culture. Coppers on a sunday night.

Walk through Temple Bar, enjoy the ambience but don't drink there. There are plenty of pubs within a 2-3 minute walk that are similar but not rip offs in relativity.

The Greystones-Bray cliff walk is also a great way to spend a couple of hours, along with Killiney hill

A run across the Reeks in Kerry.

No idea if that suits, but you're not giving much away in the ol' location and interests thing!

I'd imagine a 22yr old amurican won't give a shíte about touristy things.

Give her the wifi code and she'll be fine in her room for the two weeks.

Get her to join Boards.

Im having a Boards Beers at my house that weekend. You can give her an invite...just her though, not you.

I'll have her back by Monday.

Better off bringing her places. I think I will bring her to London for a few days

You snubbed ideas because you are in the west but now you might take her to London.

This is why nobody on boards gives proper answers to anything.

Bring her to Mayo. That will get her to go back home.

If anyone posted "Bring her to London", in response to "What is there to do in Ireland", they'd have the piss ripped out of them.

As you're about to.

Boring. Would you not hike to Macchu Picchu? Or how about exploring Angkor Wat? Or Uluru?

Patagonia is nice this time of year

As I say for a few days. Not for her full trip

Aran Islands for a night and treat her to a Supermacs at some stage.

As its her first time outside of the states, she'll have to do Europe. Definitely Kraków, Rome, Ballinrobe and London. Wouldn't bother with Dublin.

Will she be looking for the shift? I'll be in Headford mid October if it's any good.

She's 22.

Send her off to Faint in Sligo.

Pack her off to Galway to get pissed and end up in Electric.

Abandon her in Westport with 50 quid and a tin whistle.

Ship her to Cork, with Google Translate.

March up to Belfast, and introduce her to Witherspoons.

It's not difficult.

Cute oul yank one. Arriving when the turf is mostly brought in. No fools them.

Get her weeding or something. Don't leave her idle.

WoollyRedHat · 04-09-2017 03:39PM

Go wheelbarrow racing around Eyre Square. Then for a bit of culture go and see a West End play.

cena · 04-09-2017 04:30PM

Would bringing her to a farm and milk a cow be a stupid idea.

Depends.

Is she from a city, or Bogville, Maryland?

Two years ago I worked in a place that would hire European students. Some sort of programme that I forget the name of. Anyways average persons age was 18 / 19. One of the first things they did was take the tour at the Guinness factory when they arrived here.

Not a bad option.

Think very carefully about your next answer.

No, that's not something dark...it's just that you're on 7,999 posts!
