RECENTLY ON REDDIT somebody posed a question to US expats living in Ireland as to what struck them as different when they moved here.

From the way we eat the bit of dinner, to the way we reminisce about Italia ’90, to the way we like to drop the lámh when there’s a few drinks taken… it’s all here.

We can’t believe nobody mentioned the immersion though.
