Irish people are just so great

If you asked me what I would miss the most from Ireland? Probably would not be a hard answer because... well wait? Isn't it obvious? THE PEOPLE.

I really don't understand how so many people can be so nice. It just is so weird to me. I mean, I honestly thought that we, Americans, were pretty polite and respectful. I mean, of course not everyone is because no one is perfect, but seriously. They are so nice and warming that it was almost uncomfortable.

Before I go any further, I probably should bring up the fact that most Europeans hate americans. I really don't know the reason, nor do I care much, but I do know that it is probably really true. When we asked my sister about her mini trips to Italy, Greece, France, and so on, she kept saying how rude the people were to her and her friends. It always depends where you are in the country, the city, and so on, because the experience is and could be different for every other person, but still. So as we stayed through the week, in Ireland, we never really came across anyone who we couldn't have a good conversation with. They were all just SO FRIENDLY.

For instance, we would be sitting in a regular, old pub, just relaxing and enjoying ourselves, and the man or woman by us would just turn around and start talking to us. Before we knew, we were talking for almost twenty minutes and the conversation just kept going and going and wouldn't stop. I can't get over the fact of how nice it all was!

It is all really simple, actually, if you really think about. If you are nice and friendly to a person, that one person will want to be nice right back and be just as friendly. It rubs off, ya know? Before you know it, everyone around you is being nice and friendly and it spreads everywhere. Thats how I felt the whole time I was there. I never had a need to be mean, I mean I don't anyways but their, especially, it was just calming. Calming, knowing these people were going to treat us with respect and so on.

Yep, so I love Irish people.

See! This guy just has "friendship" all over his face
