My son is moving to Ireland (from Melbourne) for 6 months...or however long he enjoys himself. Travelling alone...basing himself in Dublin then he'll see what happens. Has a permit to work while he's there.
He's into music big time...plays in a band so is hoping to experience a bit of that.
Any recommendations or suggestions? His Mum is worried sick about him travelling alone!!
- How old is he?
Read Surrender if he likes U2... great music book based mostly in Ireland.canoe - Also Trinity might give him a bit more of an understanding of the culture and historycanoe
- He's 22. Reads a lot...and has read up a lot about Irish culture etc.
After some practical advice also.BusterBoy - Man this sounds awesome. It's amazing to be young! Fontaines DC, Kneecapstoplying
- @BusterBoy, my sons are 12 and 8 AND dang I am going to miss those shits when they're older/mobile like your son...
...So exciting though; boy become man, etc.ideaist - Ireland is great and people are the nicest folks around. He's gonna have a great timeHAL9001
- what did you do? why is he running so far away? T_Tpango
- Expensive for younguns. Rent here is crazy.mort_
- My practical advice would be get out of Dublin, it's shite. but you will get that opinion from any old fucker thats from elsewhere in Ireland :)kingsteven
- Ireland is really small, you can get anywhere in about 3 hours by road from Dublin. I go to gigs in Dublin from Belfast and can be home in bed by midnight.kingsteven
- Ah Dublin’s home and I love it, mostly.mort_
- Thanks...I almost don't want to give him too much advice and just wing it. He can always come home if he's not having fun.
But I'll miss him...BusterBoy - Just remind him to test for chlamydia often...maikel
