Dublin is its own world within Ireland. Though it is full of Irish history, it is also of people from all over the world, and that seems to have shaped its culture.

So many things here remind me of any other city I’ve been to. The burgers taste American. The bartenders know what a Long Island iced tea is. Pop music is heard more often than Irish folk. The people come from everywhere and it shows.

I would say that Dublin is an international hub, which makes it a different world than the rest of the country. I love it here, because I love cities and because its comforting to be reminded of home by the little things.
