AMERICAN IN IRELAND!! 5 Surprising Things I Noticed

[@JDurkin2811]

The White House was made by an Irish architect, Most American houses are in Irish style, Because of immigration.

[@Belgarion2601]

Just one thing, Ireland doesn't have a mixture between American and Central European styles, the USA have a mixture between Central European and Irish styles

[@siramea]

I never thought it like that, but here is definitively a flow of US ideas back to Ireland, it can be seen in change of language for example, we use words like 'beach' and 'ketchup' now when we used to say 'strand' and 'tomato sauce', also Halloween, originally brought to America by the Irish, evolved and became part of American culture and then American styles became popular in Ireland decades later, for example pumpkins for jack o'lanterns (rather than the traditional turnip).

[@markilleen4027]

Ketchup ? No its red sauce in Ireland red sauce

[@siramea]

I don't know the difference, to be honest, the word 'trá' is used or both as Gaeilge. I just know that my grandparents and parents generation the word 'beach' wasn't the default term it is now. Same for ketchup my generation and younger say ketchup (at least the people I know).

Because people in Ireland have NO misconceptions about America, right?

[@gamerleerb5887]

@@LisaCupcake We do, but not as many as the Americans have of us, I've told many Americans I'm Irish, and they'd say "Where's me Leprechaun?" or "Did yee find me pot o' gold?" All I say when someone tells me they're American, I'll just call them not to get in a fight with me because let's face it, Irish people would rip yous apart, (Not in the army)

[@Nicolacurran1]

@@LisaCupcake The difference is that a huge proportion of Irish people have passports and have travelled to America and have often worked there too whereas only a tiny percentage of Americans have travelled to Ireland so really have no actual experience or knowledge of the country.

[@Liamkiernan59]

Lesley Tate I’ve never seen an Aldi, only Lidl

[@lellyt2372]

Liam Kiernan do you mean in Ireland? There has been an aldi in Cavan for years, as well as a lidl. There has been an aldi in Dundalk Co louth since I was a teenager (I'm 40 now) so a really long time !

[@Liamkiernan59]

Lesley Tate I’ve don’t recall seeing one in Kerry, only SuperValu, Tesco, and Lidl

[@lellyt2372]

*edit Actually I may have been very early 20's when the aldi was opened in Dundalk - the years melt into one another after a certain age 😀

[@lellyt2372]

Liam Kiernan I don't know about Kerry. I'm sure you would notice one around the place if there was one 😊 they don't exactly hide it much. Lidl has definitely spread out much more than aldi so maybe there isn't one yet ?

[@aoife1651]

This was exhausting to watch. Anything that she could have said in one or two sentences was said in twenty. After spending time in Ireland that has a rich culture and history, are road signs and houses really the most interesting things she could comment on? She’s really doing nothing to help the stereotype of Americans that think they own everything. Ireland is a much older country and a lot of America was built by the Irish, did she ever stop to think that something might *shock* have been adapted to America rather than the other way round. She just seems to have a very narrow minded view of the rest of the world.

[@Subjagator]

At least she is travelling and trying to expand her experiences, can't be said of a lot of other people, both in America and here.

[@MrIntermilan17]

Americans are shocked & suprised at anything thats not american

[@CartePostale.]

Thank you so very much, Aiofe, for your eloquent comment & all of it so true. We lived in California for nearly 20 years & saw some terrible things going on there. I'm afraid I also tried to see her also as someone who'd not traveled the world very much &, yes, no matter whether or not she smiled through the whole vlog, she was doing what an American would NEVER allow a foreigner do.... throw jibes at their country. However, as much as she smiled through the vlog, love for the country of my birth got the better of me & I let her "have it" (as politely as possible of course ;-) ). I love America (both of our children were born there) but I had to stand up for Ireland too......

[@ukthebest6001]

[@KeKe-hs5dq]

[@scherzkeks7524]

I think the similarities between Ireland and the US can be explained with the fact that over the past centuries many Irish people have immigrated to america

Both Americans and the Irish have had some negative experiences with the English, and don't go out of their way to emulate their ways.

[@irishlongswordboland3114]

We don't have "drop off zones" for school. I live in ireland I don't get what's shocking its a sign.Jesus Christ ever isn't Amercian

[@ninafitzgeraldgraham5360]

It's interesting how little Americans know about their immigrants. After Emigrating from Ireland and arriving in the US, the most common profession to work in was construction. Many of the American buildings were built by the Irish in the Irish style. The opposite is also true, many Irish construction workers came back from America with new building techniques. I'm only a teenager, and I have no particular interest in architecture but even I know that.

[@BabyBeelzebub]

Yeah! Exactly! The houses she was describing are the older styled ones and all the Irish immigrants (many if which DID go into the construction industry) took that style of house with them

[@johnoneal1234]

actually, they don't look like American houses as much as home built [without aid of an architect], which is common enough in the rural USA to be familiar.

maybe the houses Look so familiar because many irish moved to the new world in the 19th (?) century.

[@irishlongswordboland3114]

Well not exactly most irish moved to cities not really the countryside of america.I think the reason they look similar because both countries are sparsely populated where the more spacious one story bungalow can fit in easily.Ireland is unique even to the UK where one off houses are built outside villages in the rest of europe this isn't allowed.You see bungalows dotted all over ireland often a married son or daughter will have recieved a free site from their parents on their farm of land and build a bungalow on it so you could have maybe ten houses along a road in a line.

Verge is dirt at the side of the road at the same level as the road or slightly raised. No verge means, usually, that the side of the road falls away, has a rock wall or similar or trees grow directly on the side of the road, so that you can't swerve from the road onto the side of the road in an emergency. What makes me laugh in Germany are the new signs saying that you should drive slowy, because trees don't jump out the way. If that is the case, then they shouldn't plant them in the middle of the road! :-D Putting was very popular in the UK when I war growing up. Also, in the UK, the speed humps or "ramps" are also called sleeping policemen.

[@malfidus10]

David Wright We do have "ramp" signs in the UK too, but they're usually used for road surfacing works where there's a sudden difference in the level of the road.

Glad you had fun. The American style signs are for information but there is no special rule, like bend ahead. The German style ones are things you have to do like stop or speed limits. Also the speed limits are crazy but you're not expected to go that fast, we don't really have an agency that sets them so someone decided that all country roads are 80, all urban areas are 50 for example.

I spent 9 days in Ireland up and back down its west coast. #1 The people are the most welcoming and friendly people that I have EVER met. #2 The natural beauty of the country is simply Amazing (even the fog and the mist rain). #3 The Irish are kind and courteous while driving on the road ways when compared to Americans . Most American's (80%) drive like they own the road and how dare you be on it when they are driving. #4 Mutual respect of others even though they might not share the same philosophy. Unlike American's they can actually talk to each other with out getting upset and angry over the subject matter. #5 Good hard working people is in their DNA. They experience and enjoy their life on a daily basis. While us Americans couldn't be bothered to even take 5 minutes to see what is happening around us. #6 By right around day 3 or 4. I felt like this was home. This is something that is hard to put in words. Has much as we choose where our physical home is in this world and we refer to that spot as home. While standing on some peetmoss and facing the ocean on Achill Island. In amongst the mist and fog my heart and soul found its home. #7 The local music is every where and these folks are Extremely talented. I watch a fiddler join a song she never heard before. She jumped in before the chorus by listening and Watching the finger placing of the musicians guitar. I could go on and on about Ireland. All I know is I belong there, its home to me. To come back to the States after 9 days in that beautiful country and lovely people. It was painful to see the culture I grew up in and really opened my eyes to how badly the majority of us here are living life. If I have my way and the universe deems it. I will find a job in Ireland and move there.

[@CartePostale.]

Mr. Martinson, Thank you so very much for your wonderful precis of our country. I lived in the U.S.A. for almost 20 years (both of our children were born there) & wouldn't dream of mocking it, even behind closed doors. However, this girl's mocking soliloquy (regardless of the large smile she wore throughout) broke my heart & I'm afraid I had to comment also. I am glad you felt at home here. Hospitality & welcoming strangers was actually part of the Brehon Laws in our country (they are so ancient that they were only put on paper in the 7th century). The law regarding oigidecht (hospitality) stated that, in case a stranger or one in need came to the door four things had to be provided, around the clock, for the "care of the stranger":- food, drink, entertainment & a bed! The law, still is ingrained in our culture, the original law begins with the wonderful words: "Bid thy guests welcome tho they come at any hour."

This also was my first thought, when Dana said it. Dropping something is when it falls and land hard. Chicken lay their eggs, they don't drop it. ;-) In german we say "Kinder absetzen" which is literally "set down children", so for me it's logical to say setting down kids.

Wow. How long was your trip? So at 16 (had to be legal to drink at a pub, right?) a group of up hopped on Delta and spent a month going from Shannon to Kilkenny to Killarney to Cork to Dublin (and a few in between.) BnB’s every night. The Ireland 🇮🇪I saw was a bit cooler than you describe.Ok, how did you miss the 1,000 different shades of green and the crazy amount of stone fences? Even the tourist traps like Blarney Castle and Woolen Mills, the Waterford Crystal factory, and the Guinness Brewery were so much fun. When you talked about the roads, you failed to mention an “Irish traffic jam.” That’s when a huge flock of sheep are crossing the road and you just have to wait for the shepherd to finish. Also, on average among he Europeans I’ve hung out with, the Irish we hung out with were, this is a totally self observation, were far nicer than English, Scots, French, Germans, and Italians. Yeah. Roadsigns, huh 🤔

As an American from the west, I would guess that "no verge" is equivalent to "no hard shoulder", a warning to slow down and be cautious if pulling over to let traffic pass.

[@keithdawes2685]

A verge in Ireland and the UK refers to a grassed edge alongside the ride. Similar to a pavement, or sidewalk.

[@Markle2k]

The purpose of the "no hard shoulder" sign is to warn that the area beyond the marked road has not been prepared or systematically compacted and may be soft, or when wet, a muddy bog that you could get stuck in or lose control. Is the purpose of the verge warning the same, but with a different geology?

Why would't you expect to see Lidl or Aldi? Jesus Christ we're not cavemen. You think there are "streets" in rural areas.

Yes, America has accomplished a lot of great things, but you're not that great. Actually, there are records to show that America was discovered by an Irish man named Brendan, long before Christopher Columbus was born. I've heard so many Americans brag about being "half Irish" or some rubbish like that. Even though one of their parents may be Irish, they've lived in America for most of their lives, so they probably wouldn't be considered half Irish by the general population of the R.O.I.

Remember, the United States is a very large country, just about equal to the size of all of Europe. So there are distinct regional styles of architecture that are influenced by things like weather and climate, history, geology, culture, and economics. So to say that many houses in Ireland look like many house in the United States is true... for some parts of the United States, but not all parts of the United States.

[@AdrianColley]

I can explain the "ramp" thing. When the craze for making speed bumps began, someone noticed that the relevant law didn't grant any authority for them. But it _did_ grant authority for level and grade changes using ramps! So, rather than change the law, the local authorities decided to pretend that the speed bumps were a pair of ramps that happened to be back-to-back. That's why the sign always says "ramps ahead" even when there's only one speed bump. For similar reasons, you will sometimes see cycle tracks marked with a no-cycling sign (a red circle around a bicycle silhouette). By the time we discovered that the red circle means "prohibited", the signs were already up. So... we changed the regulations to declare that the sign meant "cycle track", and not its normal international meaning. Ah, shure it'll do!
