vagabrothers Hey guys what time of year did do your road trip series? Thanks!

[@dekronsagegaming3814]

When you go to Ireland please please be sure and get some close up shots of your mouth devouring indistinguishable chunks of food. It really adds a, je ne sais quoi, to the family scrapbook. You'll be kicking yourself later if you are showing folks your holiday album and everyone is admiring the food and drink, but you have no pictures to prove that you stuffed it into your cake hole in HD. Really get in there, show some saliva and try to get the uvula in the shot. Best way to do that is have a soft light mounted to the camera and get really close with 10-35mm lens(iphones work well) so that everything but the far background is in relative focus, nice bokkeh in the back, tonsils in front and stylish foreground blur on your hand holding the fork or flowers on the table up at the edge of the frame. Don't filter though, this will take away from the lovely pigment of the food, and your mouth. In fact, maybe even play with the contrast and add a bit of color boost, color boost is VERY common and helpful in food photography.-and makes it look like you have inflammation in your gums. Increasing contrast will make your darker backgrounds fade a bit more from the viewers' attention, drawing more focus on well lit areas. Boosting color will make the food look warmer, more fresh, makes the reds and greens really pop. Be sure and use flash and take the picture as soon as possible if you want to catch the steam coming up from the plate. Shooting outdoors, Ireland often has a lovely overcast which gives you plenty of beautiful soft light to work with, so don't bother with filters. Now when the sun is shining bright, it is a great time to add a bit of style with a filter but try to make it suit the subject you are framing. eg Big old building, rustic or cool filter, for fields use something warm and try not to hide the less dominant colors of your subject with the color of the filter. Bonus points if you have food from a previous meal stuck in your teeth and wince as if in pain while biting in. Good luck and happy shooting.

The American expats like it. I meet a lot of them there in my 15 years living in Ireland.

[@vaskylark]

Just like the Irish are stereotyped in the USA, so are Americans in all of Europe. The thing is, many of us look very European and if we are not fat and loud then you probably assume we are European because we are quiet or a bit introverted so you never know we are Americans unless you hear us talk. There are the loud ones for sure, but it isn't the majority. Nearly all of us are friendly though, that really isn't a stereotype, it's almost the norm, especially if you are from the South we talk to strangers on a daily basis and yet I would consider myself an introvert.

[@frankstabler1920]

You’re kidding, right? There was so much misinformation here that I wondered if they ever visited Ireland at all. To start, a lot of the “intact” historical places have been rebuilt because they were partially destroyed (Bunratty Castle, the Grianan of Aileach, the city gate at Athenry). Irish stew is not made with Guinness. Dublin has a huge St. Patrick’s Day Parade - even though the day was once a religious holiday and the pubs were closed. While you know something about the history of the country, especially the Irish Civil War and the partition of the country, it’s best to stay away from that subject. It’s their country and not our business. Scotland and Wales were both conquered by England before Ireland and actually, the English were invited to Ireland by an Irish chieftain who wanted their help to regain the high kingship. Also, a fairly recent DNA study showed almost no Celtic DNA in Ireland. It’s thought that the native Irish adopted the Gaelic language to facilitate trade.

[@johnkilcullen1051]

@@frankstabler1920 Scotland was not conquered before Ireland. Its connection to England started when Scotland's King James VI became King James I of England. The full union didn't come until 1707.

As a native Irish man I have to say this is a very comprehensive and accurate video with a lot of good practical tips and advice. The only challenge I'd have is where you say St Patrick's Day is not big deal in Ireland. Its literally our national holiday and has now been turned into a week long festival in most cities with lots of parades and other events

[@ms.pirate]

I thought so. Because Saint Patrick was a hero for Ireland, so I don't understand why they wouldnt celebrate it.

About the meal... I've been in Ireland several times with my wife. We used to get a great Irish breakfast in the morning (at the B&B) and then, for lunch, everywhere, you can find "the soup of the day" with some brown bread and salted butter. It is quick and delicious. One remark about the meal in the pubs at night: you have to know that at 9:30 p.m., often, you cannot have a meal, it is time for the bar and music :)

[@lenanabanana5001]

I'm a dubliner and this is fairly spot on ! Only thing is, lunch prices are dependent on where you go.... in Dublin theres a Starbucks on every corner, McDonalds Burger Kings, five guys, nando's ect. Go to temple bar for ONE, just to say you did. Theres good pubs around the river liffey. Go to coppers for a proper Irish nightclub experience 😂if you want a small town vibe beside the sea just outside of dublin Is skerries where alot of tourists seem to enjoy ! Obviously all of the above when Ireland is not in lockdown 😭

I spent Christmas in Kilrush last year with my brother in law's family and as someone who had always fantasized about visiting Ireland, it did not disappoint in the slightest. Beautiful country, amazing people, and great senses of humor. What blew my mind, as an American, was seeing the history just thrown in with the modern. Not taken for granted, but so common it's normal. You'd see house, house, house, house, castle ruins from the 1400s, house, house, house, house, ancient fort, house, etc. I'd also highly suggest the small seaside town of Dingle, Ireland. Both it and Kilrush are along the wild Atlantic way, I do believe. Make sure ya drive Conor Pass if you can, one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on. This video really makes me miss Ireland!

This video is everything that makes you guys so unique and great. It’s kinda like the quintessential Vagabrothers calling card. Inspiration packed with practical tips, historical and cultural information and a dash of much appreciated book and movie recommendations. Well done!!

[@meep2556]

I like the way these guys don't know anything about irish culture but are really respectful and say everything from a neutral view

[@paulajensen9181]

I LOVE seaweed, my daughter makes the best salad with it. Great, now I'm hungry. My family came to the US from Ireland in the late 1850's. Still have family there.

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFO VAGABROTHERS !

My fave thing about you guys are how informative and thorough y’all are. I was never big on history in school but y’all have made it so interesting and enjoyable to learn the history of these destinations. Thank you for that! Keep it up!!

[@sailb0atscream]

This was a really well researched video. As an Irish through and through I can confirm everything you guys say. Great work!!

One of the best times I had in Ireland was when I took Bus Éireann to Limerick and then hitch hiked to Dingle. From there, there are really good places to hire bikes and do8ng a round trip cycle of Slea head (about 36 miles) is totally worth it. Little cheese stores and jewellery places are at one end, and then when you come back to Dingle there is a boat tour to see the resident donphin called Fungi, a sweet ice cream place and some awesome places to have dinner. Amazing camping apots near here too for about €5-10.

Nice job, seems very comprehensive. About to embark on our first visit to the Emerald Isle and greatly appreciate your insight. We'll be sure to add post-trip comments on any worthwhile findings that build off what you have shared. I love combing through the comments and seeing the Irish natives giving positive feedback to your video. Great job guys - thank you!!!

Thank you for mentioning the top in the morning thing, it's so annoying when people say it. I never heard it until tourists said it

Those are some really good tips for the first time travelling groups in Ireland. Wish I had seen this video before coming.

@@Michael-bf1dt I absolutely love Ireland. I'm not sure if it was the people or the country. Maybe a mixture of both. I honestly wanted to stay. I hope to return again when travel is back open. I hope you are well and safe from covid.

[@cruellad407]

@@Michael-bf1dt Yes I'm definitely in love with Ireland. I'm from North Carolina. It's the southern part of the United states. It will probably be next year before travel from here is safe. Best wishes and stay safe. P.S What part of Ireland are you from?

I love your vlogs of Ireland, this is my home and i love watching your take on it . I live on the north coast a little piece of heaven. Blessings to you both ☘💗

[@ItsmeeSaoirse]

Thank guys for this educational vlog of Ireland..We really do get fed up of the ridiculous and often offensive Irish stereotypes. Just a few pointers.. The language is called 'GAEILGE'.. Not Gaelic.. Gaelic refers to Irish people and their culture.. What you can say is 'The Gaelic language is called 'Gaeilge' which is pronounced 'Gale-geh'.. "Please" in Gaeilge is 'Le do thoil' which is pronounced 'Leh duh hull'.....Thank you in GAEILGE is ' Go raibh maith agat' which is pronounced 'Guh rev moh agut'.. I hope that helps..btw the surname 'Moran' is commonly mispronounced.It should be pronounced 'MOW-run' with the emphasis placed on the first syllable.

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you Abi!

[@ItsmeeSaoirse]

You are very welcome guys.. I know a lot of people struggle with Irish pronunciations so I try to help out where I can ..I love watching your videos guys..You are definitely my favourite travel vloggers ..You obviously love going to Ireland but you don't really tend to talk about Kerry and its absolutely stunning landscape.Have you been down that far?..take care xxxxx

[@yermanoffthetelly]

Firstly that's an excellent video guys and that's coming from an Irish person! I used your Cork video as a guide on a recent visit. The food was nom nom. Secondly Phonetic pronunciation tips from 20:00 please: Leah-doh-hull TY: go-rev-mah'ha-gut Cheers:slaw'in-cha Couple of extras Hello: dee-ah-gwidth Hello response: dee-ah-is-mwuire'ah-gwitdh. Goodbye. Slawn/Slawn lath (not to be confused with "cheers") And finally to all Americans ever, for the love of god, Galway is pronounced Gawll-way not Gall-way!!! Peace, and keep up the awesome travel guides!

Some very good tips for first timers traveling to Ireland. I would just like to mention that very affordable accommodations can be found by travelers who access the network of family operated Bed and Breakfasts. My experience has been they are generally very clean with cordial hosts and have great breakfasts. Hosts are happy to offer some local travel tips when asked.
