Ireland
The people of the Green Island (also known as
Eire) seem to have a good grip on the important things in life-they
have always been associated with music, song and dance, telling
stories and just generally having a good time- even though the
country has had a troubled history. The land of saints, scholars,
golf, U2 and an economy that's booming will beckon you to return
for more.
