Ireland:
Good:
1. The People - friendly, welcoming, loquacious, fun loving, melancholic, sentimental, bibulous, eccentric, learned, open, interested, garrulous, sports mad, creative, musical, poetic, decent - the list is endless!
2. The Culture - the music and literature is extraordinary for an island of 6m people. Writers like Joyce,Yeats, Wilde, O'Casey, Heaney, Beckett, Friel, Synge - again the list is endless. 4 nobel laureates for literature from a country our size is an amazing achievement - all the more when one considers that Joyce never won it.
3. The beauty of the Country - We are not known as the Emerald Isle for nothing - while the ruggedness of our western shores, North to South, are breathtaking. It is an island steeped in beauty and history and unique features. For example, the neolithic tomb at Newgrange pre-dates the great pyramids of Egypt.
Bad:
Honestly, I pretty much love everything about this place. Sure we can complain about taxes and politicians and the global financial crisis that hit in 2008 but - what the hell - these are things that are facts of life and, because we only get one chance at this life, we should just dust ourselves down and get on with having a good time.
