Hello all. Did you know this year has 366 days? It is true, today is the 29th of February! And for all of you who don’t know this yet: This is what we call a Leap Year!
So why is this so exciting for the Irish? Especially the women. One word: Leap Year Proposal! Continue reading
Hi all. The Oscars are upon us, the end to another interesting Award Season with a lot of glitz and glam being brought directly to our living rooms via our TV set. I’m kinda excited already and my list of movies that I need to watch soon is getting longer and longer as every year around this time 
Anyway, as I’m on the movie-buzz at the moment, I thought it would be a great idea to take the opportunity to talk about my favourite subject: Ireland in Movies. 
Guys… today is one of the best days of the year! It’s Pancake Tuesday! 
Soooo you want to get away for a night or a weekend, you see a great deal like The Hamlet Court Hotel in Enfield at only €29pps for B&B, you think to yourself that’s a good price but what can you do in Enfield or around that area, where can you visit etc well…. let’s see……
Last Saturday I went out with my French friends here in Dublin. When we were talking about music they mentioned this very popular French song about Connemara, called “Les Lacs du Connemara” (The Lakes of Connemara) which is often the last song played in the nightclubs and discos around France. Apparently French people go crazy when they hear that song: They are lying in each other’s arms and do some kind of “sirtaki-“dance. Absolutely hilarious if you ask me. Well, Ireland spreads its love all over the world 
Today is January 6th, also known as Epiphany among Christians all over the world. Well, not so much in Ireland: Over here January 6th is celebrated as Little Christmas, or… (Attention ladies!)… Women’s Christmas!!!!! 
It’s nearly Christmas!!! I’ve opened more than half of the doors of my advent calendar already and I’m really busy finding nice Christmas presents for my friends and family. Decorating houses and Christmas trees (as cheesy & glittery as possible!), listening to Christmas songs (and obviously singing along), baking Christmas cookies, looking for the perfect Christmas Party outfit and doing our Christmas shopping with thousands of other desperate people – these are all well-known (pre) Christmas “traditions” in many countries. But living here in Ireland now, I was wondering if there are Christmas traditions that are typically Irish; customs that I’ve never heard of before. And… Surprise! Of course there are. I did some research and look what I came across:-
