Dublin, Ireland

 

After spending 10 days in Ireland I realized that it is the infrastructure in the US that was set up by government that allowed us to develop so quickly.  The Irish government seemed to operate a little slower (similar to their lifestyles) a little less focused on development. Its seemed, while over there, that 85% of their roads are under construction so maybe they are starting to turn things around. Their government workers are just a hair worse than ours, 1 person works and 5 instead of 4 watch.  The things that makes Ireland such a tourist attraction are the quaint little villages on the cost, the green landscapes, and the tight, curvy roads that lead you there.  The beautiful countryside and the miles and miles of sheep land are what give Ireland the great reputation that it has, however (the capitalist in me speaks) it is those wide open grasslands that represent the under development there.  

 That said, Dublin, Ireland is the number one fastest growing city in Europe and it is apparent.  The city is beginning to host such corporations as Yahoo and Google, and growing rapidly. It’ll be the largest city in the world if it keeps on “Doubl’in”. 

 It truly was an amazing vacation. I spent 10 days in a tiny rental car, driving, and exploring with my girlfriend and thoroughly enjoy every minute. The country site is fabulous and the nightlife is even better.  Personal favorites were the small town of Dingle sitting right on the Atlantic coast where we fished by day and injected Guinness by night. Also, Galway, a city that drinks like Chicago and has an average age of 26. 

Soon there will be a picture page on this blog and I will include pictures of this trip on that pages.

Regarding the change in mood or topic of this blog: actionstalk.com will become a bit more personal than origianlly intended. I will still discuss how and why actions speak much louder than words in both life and business but I will also include personal anecdotes to live’n up the blog. Comments welcome.
