Synopsis

Think you know the real Ireland?
The Ireland portrayed in film and on television is not the real Ireland, much the way bologna is not real meat. Sure, people are friendly and there are gingers aplenty, but life in Ireland is modern, evolving, and influenced by technology, the Internet, and the contributions of immigrants. The ability to change and evolve quickly is one of Ireland’s many superpowers, but even Superman had his kryptonite and in Ireland, that’s hot water. In Don’t Drink the Bathroom Water, you get:

  • The difference between Gaelic, Gaeilge, and Gammon.
  • Sage advice for navigating Ireland, both roads and beaurocracy.
  • You’ll learn that in Ireland, smoking a joint and good craic are not drug related.
  • Fascinating details about Irish homes, their quirks and features, and what you can expect.
  • Exciting news about recent developments in Irish transportation.
  • The differences between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
  • Concise explanations regarding education in Ireland, primary thru university
  • An explanation of V.A.T., which does not stand for very angsty teen but rather value added tax
  • Informative profiles of areas outside County Dublin.
  • Easy to understand guidance on costs and the economy of Ireland
  • Welcome to Ireland! Or as the Irish say, Céad Míle Fáilte. One hundred thousand welcomes.
