We spent two weeks in Ireland and had the trip of a lifetime, we met the nicest people TO IRELAND !!!

Holding a door is just damn common courtesy. I have done it all my life. I’m an Irish/American and when I say, hi how are ya? I don’t really mean it!!

Great video Laura. As an American who has been there a few times, public transportation is easy and the train system will get you anywhere.

In the southern US we hold doors for people as well and you can always tell if someone isn’t from the south because they will let doors slam in your face or not say thank you when you hold the door

In Boston (USA) an 'off licence' is called a 'packie'.

People say "sorry" in place of "excuse me" or "pardon me".

Dalkey, Dun Laoghaire, Howth. Are fine examples, The Wicklow Mountains, Avoca, etc. Wonderful.All accessible from Dublin centre.

My partner is Irish, but I visited Ireland several times even before I met them. I am fascinated by how similar Norway and Ireland are. Though we don't say thank you when leaving the bus (I know we do in the UK and Ireland, though 😉)

Came here as a Dub to find out if l've heard of our 'unwritten rules'.😅 And yes l have, you're bang on with every one.🎉 So many things l wasn't aware were unique to us, but are.

BTW - Galway cathedral charged for toilets too. This is a very helpful video

Ireland is amazing, I've just been to Dublin and the surrounding area and It's really worth a visit ❤ I'd recommend buying the leap visitor card for public transportation

You should have explained why you have to put your hand out!! That is because multiple buses stop at a given stop and the bus driver needs to know that you want his bus.

All your videos have been super helpful in my travels to Ireland! Thank you!

Really Irish people are awesome, smiling face & paying respects.

I felt up Molly Malone…so did my wife. We ‘ve had nothing but good luck ever since. I think Molly liked it too.

If you do rent a car, get the FULL insurance. If you don't get in a scuff, the rental agency will be making sure you're blamed for one. No need for a car in Dublin City, but it's perfect to get one to travel to Galway, Killarney, Donegal, Cork. Your gold card's insurance likely won't suffice. Yes, you can rent automatic cars - usually a wee Nissan Micra. I'm not sure what the Irish love about manual shift, but I believe it's because most cars there have about half as much power as cars in North America, and manual shift lets you coax more out of them. I 'grew out of' manual shift years ago - especially as a city dweller, it's just extra work with diminished returns.
Homebase - Killarney: Drive clockwise around the Ring of Kerry, should take 5-7hrs. I leave Killarney at 5am, head through the Killarney National Park, and catch the sun rising over the Kerry scenery. Off season is just a beautiful, but with far fewer bicyclists or tour buses.

Mass transit within Dublin is Fantastic, once you learn how it works. Phoenix Park, Trinity College, Guiness Storehouse, the National Leprechaun Museum, Dublin Castle, all are within two blocks or less of buses and luas.

THANK YOU for rule no.16! I was back in Dublin this year for the first time in 25 years - and suddenly THAT was a thing. Horrible, embarrassing and frankly, a bit puzzling. Love your videos (and your beautiful country!). Kind regards, Nicola
