    I recently renewed my passport online and it was very quick and painless. Impressed.

    SBSP, This is a dying art. Now everyone is stuck in their phones. If you tried talking to someone stuck in their phone they just tut and walk away. A community of loners will replace what we have now.

    Ireland should be proud of good bar-tenders. That can serve more than one pint and one customer at a time. This is also a dying art. Flabbergasted that this is not basic training. It was when I worked the bar game.

    You dont realise how good they are until you go abroad. Ordering a round of drinks in an english pub can be a painful experience.

    Not to mention the tiny measures of spirits.

    We're very green. I mean the colour of the countryside. I remember one sunny summers day being almost blinded by how green we are. It's just dazzling on a day like that. And that's a good thing btw, I'm not complaining :)

    We're a very friendly, welcoming country. There's some racism but in general we're very good and don't care where someones from so long as they are sound and don't badmouth cheese and onion crisps.
    I have foreign friends who are just amazed that when you go out for a night you end up talking to random strangers.

    Ordering rounds here confuses the crap out of foreigners sometimes. :D

    Death

    No one does death better than the Irish.

    People come along to support the family and show great community spirit.

    In London a person will die and only the very close family with attend the funeral.

    I love that about the Irish.

    Fair play to Ireland for having daylight savings.

    Foreign people over here are generally pleasant people to talk to and there is no real issues with crime or racism unlike our neighbors over the pond in England. Just reading the other day about 2 teenagers stabbed to death for no reason by other teenagers of African decent.... I am glad I do not have to worry about something like that over here.
