*bounces* I has booked a hostel in Dublin, I has booked a hostel in Dublin!

Now, dear f-list, what are the things to do/see in Dublin and Ireland? *bounce*

And, even more important, what are the tourist traps that are really not worth it?
*pokes at all teh offers on teh interwebs*

Well, I'm doing at least one sensible tour, there is an Irish Farm tour organised for us vets. There will be cows!



OH! And could you rec me movies to watch (listen to) to get used to understanding Irish English? Or even stuff on youtube...

*bounce bunce bounce*

Now I have just to find out whether there are any good concerts in Dublin while I am there... *wanders away on teh interwebs*

I think the accents you find in Dublin won't be too difficult, in contrast to some of the harsher Northern Irish ones which can be difficult even for other native English speakers. (But I'm speculating on the basis of people I know from those places, rather than having been there.) (Also, have you ever watched Father Ted? I'm not sure how much accent use it would be but it's very funny...)

Will check out Father Ted! Pacticing listening to English English is bound to help, most movies are some American mishmash.

Well, it's not English English either :)
