What is Ireland like? Would you go there for work for two yrs if you could?

Question

I work construction and we have a big project in Ireland. I am just coming off a year project in Jamaica.

Answer 1

Assuming that you mean the Republic of Ireland and not Northern Ireland (part of Great Britain), I will try to answer.

Ireland is composed of cities but also vast areas of farms and incredibly beautiful country. I particularly love the south west coast. There is a lot of rain but the colors are like nothing you will ever see in the US. Most Irish people are friendly. Their food is more cosmopolitan than you might think - they rely on tourism so you won't have problems finding food that you enjoy. Driving on the left side of the road may be your biggest problem - that and narrow back roads with no street signs. Tourists who are used to driving on the right have lots of accidents. If you get a flat tire, some one will invariably stop to help you.

Working in another country will change the way you view the world. That's always a good thing. Two years has an end. Go for it.

Answer 2

Last time we were in Dublin it was a really happening city- lots of cool places and night life. Ireland is going through an economic boom. If you get bored and feel like taking small trips, you always have several awsome countries a stones throw away. The hospitality is really great..the food..not so much, but I'm sure you will have a great experience. Galway is also a great town. The best part will be the people you meet from all over...you never know where this experience will lead you in life..and rest assured it will be more interesting to add this adventure to your "have done" list. Totally go for it!!!

Answer 3

I have always wanted to go to Ireland, but haven't yet. As far as working there for two years, I would if I could get a computer related job or maybe a bartender, bouncer, or something. A little different on the jobs, but I'm interested in and could do them. It would be nice to visit though, and I would get to meet some of my Irish family while I'm there so I hope I can go some day.

Sláinte!

Answer 4

If I didn`t have a family, I`d do it in a heartbeat!!! As long as the pay was close to what I was making at home. Its a very beautiful country with some of the nicest people in the world. And there is plenty to do there!! You`re never more than 90 mile from the ocean, its got incredible golf courses. Course if you don`t like rain, I wouldn`t go.

Answer 5

Yes,Ireland is a great country to live in for a couple of years.I lived there for 13 years.You can use Ireland as a base for work and see other European countries when you get time off work.

Answer 6

I actually looked into going to school there for a year when I was in college. Couldn't afford the plane ticket, though. If you have the means, I would do it. You will miss out on some stuff at home. But you'll enjoy a new country/culture for a while. That would be a memory you would always have. I say go for it.

Answer 7

Yes I would, but it's because I love to travel and I've been there when I was a child. It's very green, and the people there are very friendly as I remember. I still know some people who lives there.
I would go if I were you especially if it's for 2 yrs because you can still come back if you don't like it. (go only if you live alone and don't leave your family behind unless they're ok with that).

Answer 8

I really liked Ireland when I was there. And it's silly to say there's nothing to do! I would absolutely jump at the chance to work there for 2 years.

Answer 9

YES! i have always wanted to visit Ireland. it is my most important life goal. i am Irish. i have heard that it is a beautiful country. i would go there for 5 yrs if i could. suggestion though if you go don't talk about religion or politics unless you want to get killed, or capped

Answer 10

Danm right I would, Dublin is a great place, and the west coast is beautiful, Donegal is magic..

if you like the countryside you will love it.
And Dubiln is a fun city...
