Almost Fearless: Getting Drunk on Dublin

  • Jet Set Life · 1 year ago
    Hey there,
    What a Jet Set Life you are leading! Great writing! I felt as if I was sharing a pint with you and could feel the rain hitting me. We have yet to make it to Dublin to shoot for Jet Set Life but based on your post we may be moving it up the ladder. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I, too, love a good accent. A girl from Dublin just started in my office - I could listen to her talk all day. A man with an accent is a dangerous thing indeed!!

    Christine, this post made me laugh and it broke my heart. I fell quickly and deeply in love with Dublin and with Dubliners... as did DP and the four high school boys on our school trip. Everyone was so lovely to us and we wandered around Dublin in a state of blissful shock. By God, they're charming!
    I can't believe that your time in Europe is almost over! Europe (Barcelona, in particular) has been good to us and we are going to stay a while longer.

    Ireland was my first trip abroad. I stayed with a host family in Dublin and loved it. The whole country has a special place in my heart.

    Even drunk your writing is exquisite. In a month or so I am going to have a week to kill in Europe. Your post has me revisiting my strong desire to visit Ireland.

    Justin.

    Ha! The draw of the Irish. Loved this post.

    Never been to Ireland but did live with my Irish aunt (from Belfast) for two years!.

    I live vicariously through you! Sounds like an amazing adventure...kudos to you for leaving the corporate world! I left too (don't miss the politics and egos one bit) and launched a women's site my inspiration lounge -- I have your feed on the See The World page to inspire other women to get out there and live life!

    Check it out when you have a moment!

    Hey there! I loved this post too. I am an italian guy and I moved to Ireland almost 5 years ago. To be honest, the irish accent gave me hard time when I first arrived and the annoying weather can still make me sad at times, but beyond this there's something about this city. It may be its human side, the people, the atmosphere, the guiness. I definitely don't know what it is tat makes you fall in love with the place. As I said, i have been living in ireland for 5 years now, but initially I only had come to stay for 3 months to improve my english :-) Funny, isn't it?

    Christine,
    Wow! I can't believe your time in Europe is almost up already! Sounds like you're going out with a bang, though :-)

    I am such a sucker for an accent. Especially in the UK and Ireland - I think it might be too dangerous for me to go there because I will instantly liquify into an adoring puddle of anglo/ireland- philia.

    I feel the same way every time I get ready to leave Europe.

    At least that feeling always makes us go back!
