    New York City. Lived and worked in the big apple for five years and never seen what all the hype was about. Money was good that's about all it had going for it.

    Definetly DUBLIN
    DIRTY, pukes and other discusting stuff everywhere
    Stinking PUBS
    Narrow sidewalks with huge crowds
    Ripoff prices for everything
    Not much to see
    Shabby restaurant with shabbier kitchen and waiting staff
    Terrible weather
    Poor shopping
    Junkies and low lifes everywhere
    I never seen in my life such a poor variety of spirtis in the shops
    Women who lack of any taste, most of them fat with tones of make up and other discusting stuff on them ,plus extremely stuck up
    I did not see any positives

    Uhm... sounds like someone needs to plan their visits better in the future. Did you come during St. Patrick's Day celebration?

    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.
