Great video, and apologies in advance for the upcoming negativity! But as someone who has lived in Ireland since birth, Ireland has become super unaffordable for many people. Sure the cost of living crises has pretty much hit everywhere, but over past few years Ireland has secured 1st place in EU, in terms of high cost living proportional to wages. I make almost triple the salary compared to before covid, yet it honestly seems that my disposable income has halved. Grocery prices are only tip if the iceberg - property and utility prices now eat a big chunk of many people's salaries Personally, thinking of emigrating to somewhere a bit cheaper (I work remotely, so it may be an option) Anyway, glad you're enjoying the green Isle 😀

It's funny that you called prices in the States "euros" and in Ireland "dollars." Although I never did that thing in particular, when I was in Ireland I always felt mostly American but upon returning to the US, I always felt more Irish. It's as though I have one foot in Ireland and one foot in the U.S. - even now, after so many years. And you've spent TWICE as much time in Ireland as I did. I am surprised that you and your daughter still have an American accent. I detected no sign of the brogue! Based on my experience of Dublin and Cork all those years ago and the few Irish-born people I've known here is that the Irish also seem to be more honest in expressing their feelings. I think that you know pretty quickly whether an Irish person likes you or doesn't, while Americans too often smile to your face and stab you in the back - but maybe that was just the places where I worked and not indicative of Americans sincerety generally. I always love to see the little snips of your house and garden. I remember the ordeal that you had to go through when trying to get a house, but it seems to have worked out perfectly in the end!

When I was in Cork, the Irish used to make fun of my American accent but when I would talk with my mom in Phoenix (where we had moved to before I graduated from high school) on the phone, she'd comment about my Irish accent, LOL! On the other hand, the Irish might find your American accent rather endearing. If you sounded like them, they might not find you as interesting!

Well “master of the house” just even sounds rooted in the dynamic of slavery tbh. I’ve also seen some videos of people teaching that as the origin anyway; and for me personally, i try to make it a priority to honor the lived experience or perspective of the BIPOC community. Not that hard to just say ‘primary’ just incase it could have an offensive meaning.

On average, we get 111 days/year of over 100 degrees and in 2023 we had an extra 33 days over 100 (and 54 of them were over 110). So literally almost half the year it gets over 100.
