Dublin Dublin!
Hey guys! I'm visiting Dublin (and a few other cities in Ireland) in July. I'm staying for a month. As it'll be for business, I'll be working weekdays and wandering the streets on weekends. ^_^ I've already made a list of the places to visit. However, it'd be nice if you could suggest me any interesting places that only Dubliners know. ^^
I'm sooo excited about the trip! I'm especially looking forward to going to the place where Game of Thrones is filmed.
I do want to listen traditional Irish music while sitting in an Irish bar drinking Guinness (probably Temple Bar lol).
I hope it won't rain all the time, haha! \(^_^)/
Sorry to be a grammar grump. ;) If you already have the tickets and things are organised there already, then use I'm (verb)ing + (future time). By using I'll (verb), it makes my anglo-brain think that Dublin is still only an idea for you; no plan, no arrangements. Also, be careful of verbs like suggest, recommend and explain... these don't take indirect objects, so adding "me" after them means the suggestion is you, not for you. ;)
I agree with Francis: definitely go to Galway! I believe The King's Head still has afternoon jazz sessions on Sundays. Not at all traditional, but a really, really nice time. I recommend it! It's in the main pub area, very easy to find.
Pubs in Temple Bar will have live Irish music for the tourists, but please don't faint when you see the prices for a pint (about 5 to 6 Euro)! Outside of the centre is a little cheaper, but not much. Look for Irish sessions, as that usually means musicians are welcome to come and join, so you'll see some real traditional music by regular Irish folk. :) Try the Palace Bar (Fleet st, right at the station end of Temple Bar).
