    Yes! When I was over there in the UK I worked with some Irish lasses who showed me a grand time.

    For a laugh walk into a rural pub and ask for a lager. This is a most entertaining way to spend the afternoon......trust me

    ...it's a beautiful place, have a look around, are you going anywhere near the sth west...Ireland is cold, warm, funny, sad, beautiful, ugly, and lots of other things too...very entertaining...you will probably get to enjoy many hangovers if you dont watch out...avoid wearing orange or green clothing...

    That would be an ecumenical matter.

    I have been reliably informed that drinking Guiness and rooting colleens is de rigueur in Ireland...

    Have considered a motorcycle tour.
    This place http://www.motorental.ie/ is more appropriate as we will most likely be landing in Dublin. $1300 for a 3 day self guided tour. I think the price puts that out of reach. I haven't even toured New Zealand yet anyway!

    I would go and check out the giants causeway, that place is trippy.

    Be sure to learn lots of Irish jokes, They love them and really appreciate them
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    I spent my time castle spotting by day and pub spotting by night.

    How ya be ya fekin idjit, seems to be a standard Irish greeting. So maybe you want to practice that. Thats what me Irish mates say when we talk anyhow.

    Ireland is more about the vibe and scenery than attractions imho. If you like pubs then Ireland is a great place.

    Rent a car and drive around the ring of kerry and West Cork. Call into Cobh where the titanic sailed from.

    Find all the castles and ruins. There are some pretty cool ones around, from well maintained posh Kilkenny castle through to single walls of a tower sticking up in a farmers field.

    Call into a small town pub and have some craic with the locals.

    Go to Blarney Castle and kiss the blarney stone - it gives you the gift of the gab.

    I spent a year there and loved the place. Mind you a knocked back a guiness or three.

    If it's still not your scene then head over to London or Paris, it's not far or expensive.

    Just a tip, don't try getting any of the local lasses drunk with an eye to getting a leg over. You'll find yourself under the table and they'll still be going when you wake up.
