Well Dublin is cleaner than I expected. According to travel books it is a growing city with very successfull IT exports (I only know of Iona that are here... but I have not done much research in this area).
There is a big university in the centre of town. There are alot of pubs. There are alot of bookstores. I think actually that there might be the most bookstores per square measure than I have encountered yet.
I think Dublin is a great place to start a drinking-writing or drinking-singing career. Use Guinness, Baileys or Irish Whisky to fuel your intellectual courage...
On another topic, I love the Irish accent. Half the time - or more - I don't know what they are saying. This is silly, but it gives me a rush to hear it. It was funny to hear the radio announcer also using the accent.
Back onto drinking and pubs. Men sing in the pubs. Loud. Last night there were two brothers standing on opposite sides of a woman facing her and really singing loud and deep with the band. (with a deep voice I mean).
