As many of you know next week I will be there to visit the beautiful green Ireland.
5 questions
1] - What the weather like there in Dublin? How many °C? Which dresses should I wear there in the day and night?
2] - Which are best pubs where eat and drink there in Dublin (not too much expensives)?
3] - Which typical Irish food should I taste? 4] - Is there in Dublin some good record store where buy good electronic music?
5] - How does one pint of beer cost there? One packet of cigarettes? One cd?
6] - How many hours of car to drive from Dublin to Belfast? 7] - Do you think I will have lot of troubles to drive in Ireland's street (on the left with steering wheel on the right)? Wish me good luck...
8] - If is there some unforgettable place to visit... tell me please.
THANKS
\/\/.
Thanks for you help.

1] the weather is unpredictable. on a good day it's about 22C, a bad day it might be 15C with rain, or just overcast, etc..
you should bring as many dresses as possible - italian men in dresses get in many clubs for free. i would reccomend ones which are flambuoyantly colourful and flowing. frocks would be a good idea.
2] not my dept. drinking in dublin city is very very expensive. most of my friends just buy cans from the off license and drink at home.
3] ? Stew maybe? idunno
4] i don't buy music - but there are a few nice stores in temple bar.
5] a pint in the city centre is, at cheapest, 4.90, most expensive, ~ 8.90
10 cigs = 3.25 20 cigs = 6.30
6] i imagine about 3. lots of assholes on that road too, not a nice one to drive - lots of tail-gating.
7] depends on how good a driver you are, how much experience you have doing that. dublin's gridlocked anyways, so it wouldn't be a good idea to plan on getting around in a car. up to belfast you shouldn't have any problems.
8] ballymun flats, finglas, the oldbawn area of tallaght.. these are all beautiful picturesque areas in and around dublin that you must see. lolllllz

coming from someone who grew up in wicklow, and has just moved back there:
don't come down here :/
if you like nice scenery and walking, however, glendalough is a popular one for tourists and it's quite stunning..
i've just grown to hate this county and its inhabitants..
ps - those places i listed in my "must see" answer, erm, that's not serious. stay away from those areas :)

I wanted to go there but I've heard you can't smoke in the pubs which is a BIG problem for me.

1) Variable. It was boiling when i was there last week.
2) Everywhere is that bit more expensive than it should be. Dublin is the rip off capital of europe practically. I dunno why this is, greed i think, but you know what cities are like. Belfast is fine tho.
3) erm...Potoatoes?=]
4) There are as mentioned a few decent ones potted about Temple Bar but Dublin is really the last place you should want to go shopping. Nice for a walk about tho.
5) covered above
6) it takes about 2-3 hours to drive from dublin to belfast....you can do it in much less depending on the time of day, there is a direct motorway now made by the european union.....but dublin can be jam packed and it's awful to drive anyway as there is hardly any street signs and directions. You can get the bus to belfast for as little as 7 euro for a single and that takes 3 hours, if you choose to drive by car you have a number of tolls to pay on route also but these are nominal. Avoid the train if money is an issue as it's very expensive for what it is.
7) There is a good Dart train network, driving and parking would just be a headache in my opinion.
8) Guiness Factory=] at the end of the tour you get a pint in a bar that looks out over the top of dublin.

Make sure and buy a glasgow rangers top ( preferably the orange one ) as this will go down really well in dublin. The local song is called "the sash". They sing it in all the pubs and they especially like it when foreigners start singing it. Have a great time.
