The Mercer Report: Ireland

I just thought I'd add a few things to the previous post about Dublin. Here's what I've learned about Ireland:
- People give names to their homes, exactly the same as we name our boats. Houses even have full signs that display this name. (the house we are staying at is called Rossturc)
- Believe it or not, Ireland has palm trees! (i have pictures to prove it)
- "What's the crack" is a common term meaning ,"hey, whats going on?!"
- All the street signs are written in both English and in Irish
- Hurling is the coolest sport ive ever watched, and the players dont get paid to play but rather play for the pride of their County in Ireland
- The Irish Police are called The Garda, and they don't carry guns!
- The Irish hate being called English as much as we hate being called American
- Traditional Irish Stew is the best food on the planet
- "Slainte" is Irish for, "Cheers"
- I only drank Guinness for the entire time in Ireland...I had to use a calculator to figure this one out, but it turns out that I drank about 12 litres of it!

Well thats it for now, hope you all learned something!

Slainte,

Braden
