Dublin voted friendliest city - The Irish Times - Mon, May 04, 2009


On newstalk today we were apparently worst dressed as well but the article thankfully places London in the category(PHEW!!!!!)...they did a vox-pop with tourists and "you only have to pull out a map and someone says...are you lost?"....?????


I believe we are still friendly!.....but the friendliest????...from personal experience (with the kiddies... can't believe the spanish weren't there!!)
