I haven't been updating this blog for a while, because I was enjoying a 2-week trip to Ireland.
Lovely place. The people are laid back, friendly, and not feeling entitled. People there have responsibilities as well as rights, and they know it. If there are problems that can be solved, they solve them. Otherwise, they just share a few pints and move on.
And the beer there has flavor! They drink for pleasure, not to get drunk like Americans. In fact, they have very little respect for someone who can't handle his beer.
Every bus has free wi-fi, as does every pub.
The air is clean! Windmills, solar, and fresh air off the Atlantic.
As for their education system, they have us beat. Kids are encouraged to follow their strengths, not all pass a standardized test. If they are academically inclined, they go to university - free. If they want to pursue a trade, they go to a trade college - free.
