I’ve lived in a few countries (USA, Lebanon, Scotland, Ireland) but I would say Irish people are by far the friendliest and best craic !! Although the weather can be dreary at times, there’s plenty of fun stuff to do after work or on weekends.

I come from Poland but have been living in Ireland for almost 20 years in Ireland (11 in Cork). Poland is larger country than Ireland (about 4 times with close to 10 times the population) so it is different. I think Irish people are friendly and easy-going. Sometimes things take a bit too long in Ireland to happen but on the other hand this creates more relaxed atmosphere. Dublin is a bit of an unusual city – the city centre is quite compact with big sprawling satellite villages and unusally for most European cities most people live in houses not apartment blocks (which is good). Such arrangement creates challenges regarding public transportation that is rather poor as for European standards. I am slos suprised that country and city with such rich history in science has no real science museum/exploratory space (did you know that George Bool lectured for few years at UCC in Cork, he was inventor of logic algebra that is the basis of operation for modern digital computers, he did it in XIX century). It is great that you can be on the beach and withing 30 mins in the mountains.

It is great City! Although the beauty I found in the suburb areas where you can see what Ireland is about (green, water, nature, and lots of winds :))
Irish people are so friendly, I’ve been helped by too many Irish people who were passing by and they don’t mind to engage in a friendly conversation where I find myself learning more from them compared to some friends whose I’ve known for years.
In my culture (Saudi Arabia) they say; knowing people is like trading in business ,, I experienced that in Dublin from day one!
