Irish girl from Cork telling us the cultural differences between NYC and Ireland IG:vivienne_sayers_

NYC is it's own unique entity. Once you get into the small towns, country places, heck even smaller cities like Savannah everyone becomes alot friendlier

[TheGreenEyeWitch]

In the south is where a lot of the Irish migrated and we still to this day adapted and carried out the small talk 😊

Visit the Midwest, you'll love it. We have a thing called the "Midwest goodbye", where you stand in the doorway chit chatting for another hour while you try to leave 🤣 NYC isn't known for being very friendly or talkative with strangers, but get out of the city and you might change your mind!

So so true so easy to make new friends here like one word and your becoming friends

Girl I moved to NYC and the Irish community is so big there. I never knew Irish people until NYC and I love them

[ClareB-zb]

I’m Irish and I went to the dentist and I had a chat with a old man for an hour he was the nicest guy ever so sweet and that’s so normal for Irish people

[malberto]

Some of the best conversations I've had has been with total strangers 🇮🇪

[monicastander]

[brookechesmore]

It’s only like that in NYC I’m from Iowa and we are all like that!!

[LizaFergison]

I missed Ireland for this reason. Irish people love to chat and enjoy it.

As a South African I can relate, we love to talk and dont even start on the weather, every one is an expert

My mother's side of the family is from Cork. I LOVE to sit and chit chat with total strangers. It drove my kids crazy when they were young. I have actually learned many a person's life story this way. We Irish are truly blessed 😊.

[retrobluemusic]

[michaelhughes]

Love your accent. The Republic of Cork.I am from the North. I could listen to your voice all day.

[SalK-LS]

That sounds like the opposite of Finland where small talk with strangers is usually kept to a minimum.

[annalacey]

Yes it's so true, when I make small talk to foreigners they think I'm flirting with them! I have to remind myself to shut up 😂😄🤔

[jessicaknights]

Move to the South East. It’s is considered rude not to small talk. My boss actually sat me down and counseled me on the fact that I was not doing it enough in Tennessee and it was making my coworkers uncomfortable.

My mom is Irish. Calls with her Irish friends generally run 2 to 3 hours. They love their tea because their vocal cords need it!
