Dublin Ireland

If I were to visit a city for a week that I had never been to I would have to choose Dublin Ireland. My favorite book, P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern is set in Dublin Ireland. Ahern is from there and she constantly talks about the city and its environment. The cobble stone roads and the rolling hills just seem so peaceful. She has written other books too that I have read that take place there. I adore every one of them, but feel as though I may not if they we to take place somewhere else. I love the idea of a pub. Although it may just be a bar, it just seems a lot cozier than an American bar.
One of the things that attracts me most to Dublin is the way they talk. Although it is English, the use of phrases like “love” really makes everything more welcoming. However, this is the same thing that may cause me fear when I go there. The language may e the same here as it is there print wise, but just as American English, Ireland has a slang of its own. I would be afraid I would be looked at as a stupid American who couldn’t understand what people were saying sometimes. However I adore the accents the people have so I wouldn’t mind listening to their conversations and not knowing what was being said.
I also saw the movie P.S. I Love You and although it’s not set in Ireland as the book is, they do travel there and it is an amazing sight. They may or may not have actually filmed that part of the movie there, but they did, what I thought, a great recreation of it. The images from the film and the images in my mind from the books put together the ideal Ireland. I feel as though Dublin wouldn’t be as great and wonderful as it seems in the books but there would probably still be small coffee shops and other things that would make the trip worthwhile.
