Here are a few things that I noted or observed while in Ireland:
1. They love Obama over there.
2. The "Recession" was a focus of conversation for everyone that we spoke to.
3. The Irish certainly LOVE their sports. They are SO passionate about them!
4. They are much "greener" there. I love the fact that they have on/off switches for every outlet. You even get charged at grocery stores if you need a plastic bag.
5. Parents take and active role in their children's education.
6. They are good at being prompt when starting, but seldom finish on time.
7. There is no "th" in their oral pronunciations.
8. Roundabouts, roundabouts, roundabouts
9. Tiny, tiny showers
10. Social, friendly people wherever you go!
