Holy shit! I'm going to Ireland!!!

[Nico]

How about a holiday in Sweden? Come see the Majestic Møøse!

Oh wait, he's in Canada. :zombie:

Well, there's always the wonderful telephone system.

Man, I'm fucking pumped for this show! Nemtheanga even told me of a record shop in Dublin that has some of their older albums in stock! SCORE!

Anyone got tips about places to go or things to see/do that are particularly great? Obviously I'll spend a good deal of time drinking, but hey... we all need a bit of a break once in a while!

What the fuck is up with all you yanks going to IRELAND of all places? Is it because it's the closest European country and you're fucking lazy? I mean, not that there's anything wrong with Ireland, but..

My girlfriend is Irish, and I'm going with her, her mom and her stepfather, so we'll be staying with their relatives and visiting them!

 

[unhinged]

just replied to your message

this is very cool

just make sure you get there early to witness the scald carnage

we've got a couple of people with camcorders at this too

 

[Demilich]

oh I won't miss it! my plane gets in to Belfast at 7am on the 7th, then i'll have to bus down to Dublin, find my girlfriend's cousin's house, sleep, get up, check out the city, make my way to the record shops people have told me of, and get to the show (of course i'll make it in time for Scald!)

How does the Canadian dollar hold up in Ireland these days?

Weak. Powerful weak.

1 CAD = 1.61 Euros

There are people from the UK that come to NY for long weekends just to go shopping. It's like everything at list price is 50% off. When my mom visits, she goes straight to Lord & Taylor or Macy's, 'cos they always have the massive dept store sales, and then just buys buys buys. She actually comes over with an empty suitcase, just so she can fill it on her return, no shit.

 

[Demilich]

I figured you fucking Brits would do things like that. She should come to Canada, shit'd be even cheaper!

 

[Erik]

With the US dollar as it is? I doubt it... You Canadians at least have more of your currency to compensate, while the US dollar right now is just weak as fuck (though sadly it's picked up a bit recently)

 

[Demilich]

Their dollar still > ours by about 25% or so

 

[Erik]

Yeah but do you see what I'm trying to say? Your dollar is usually weaker by a BIGGER margin so comparatively, I guess Canadians have MORE MONEY right about now

 

[Demilich]

Yeah but do you see what I'm trying to say?

Evidently NOT!

lmfao!

I'm hitting up Dublin next week, though I only care to see the city for one day, where/what are the best places to go to see the country side of Ireland?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Thanks for all the information!
