Dublin has exceeded my expectations, to be honest. It’s a weird feeling, because when I first saw a few locations, I thought “this looks just like a movie.” It’s a lot different from Armagh, but still plenty different from America, with trains riding through town, very wide brick streets, large stone buildings with roman numeral clocks, and many monuments. It’s kind of generic, but in the best way possible; as I walk through the streets, I recognize what places were recreated in fiction, and I begin to notice how strongly Irish culture affects Western culture.
