4 ways NI people are unique
========================
Nervous about moving to Northern Ireland, a small country with people you’ve probably heard little about? Local student William Graham tells you everything you need to know about the NI locals.
There are plenty of unique and often unconventional things about Northern Irish people. Certain traits are ingrained in our culture and make us an odd but lovable bunch. It’s a culture that, as a student in Belfast, you can get under your skin of. In no time, you will feel like one of us – and perhaps you might find yourself adding to our culture and history one day as well.
1. We are extremely friendly
Northern Irish people are incredibly kind and pleasant, so it’s no wonder they have been voted among the happiest people in the UK. Many visitors to Northern Ireland remark on the good-natured character of Northern Irish people, and it’s not unusual to greet people with jovial jokes, warm welcomes and, of course, a cup of tea and a biscuit.
The apologetic nature of Northern Irish people also stands out – you can expect a Northern Irish person to apologise profusely if you were to bump into them on the street or apologise for being in the way or causing you any slight inconvenience whatsoever. Furthermore, the Northern Irish character inhibits us from taking compliments on how we look or how we are dressed etc.
Finally, never be afraid to ask someone for help on directions, locating certain places and any other issues you may be having, you will be greeted warmly and hospitably.
2. We have our own vernacular
Paramount to the culture in Northern Ireland is our unique phrasing and local slang used in everyday conversation. Typical terms may include:
“What’s the craic”- How are you/what are you doing
“Aye”- Yes
“C’mere”- Come here
“Dander”- “To go for a walk”
“Dead on”- Good/Decent
“Poke”- “Ice cream”
There are plenty of websites where you can brush up on the local slang.
Understanding and learning to make use of Northern Irish slang terms is part and parcel of the experience of living here. Certain phrases may seem quite daunting or scary when spoken in a harsh accent, but remember the people are friendly and warm.
Another quality to our speech is employing the word “wee” to describe everything in most occasions, such as shopping: “Pop your wee card in the wee machine there and enter your wee pin code and I'll get you a wee bag”, or when a visitor comes around: “Take a wee seat there and I’ll put the kettle on for a wee cup of tea”. It’s a rather obsessive trait but it will stand out to you and you might even pick up the habit yourself.
Phrasing is so unique across Northern Ireland it can even differ depending which part of the country you are in; for example, in Tyrone they refer to a child as a “cub” like a bear cub, whereas in Antrim they may call a child a “wee ba”. Accents can also differ greatly from harsher Belfast accents to softer Armagh or Antrim accents. Overall learning and understanding the different accents and slang used around the country can be an exciting experience.
3. We have unique foods
Have you ever heard of dulse or a crisp sandwich? Northern Ireland has some bizarre cuisine and a prejudicial love of potatoes - cooking and serving them in every conceivable way we can including baked, deep fat fried, roasted, boiled, mashed and, of course, in the form of potato breads and crisps. For example, no true Ulster fry is complete without griddle breads such as potato and soda bread. Further examples of potatoes being a classic Northern Irish staple, is making crisp sandwiches and chip butties (sandwich).
Had enough of potatoes? Then try something different such as our traditional dulse which is an edible burgundy seaweed which may be fried, dry roasted or crumbled. Not to your liking? Well you can try other, less controversial dishes that our favourites of Belfast students such as a meal and milkshake from Maggie Mays, fish and chips from local restaurants, Belfast burritos from the increasingly popular Boojum or even a monster of a burger from Bootleggers.
4. We have a dry sense of humour
Northern Irish people are famed for our great wit and dark sense of humour. Northern Irish humour is strongly associated with the ability to laugh at ourselves in a natural way that is never forced and often unexpected.
You can come across people that seem very softly spoken, and then bam, a zinger comes from them and you almost need a second to realise it before you laugh.
Our humour often pokes fun at ourselves or others. For an insight into Northern Irish humour, check out these shows: The Blame Game, Father Ted, Give my Head Peace and Derry Girls.

5 Things American Tourists Shouldn't Wear in Europe

Heading to Europe & Not Sure What to Pack? Here are a few things that my fellow US travelers may want to avoid packing if they are traveling to Europe.
1. Baseball Caps: Europeans in general do not wear baseball caps, especially backwards. You would be better served to wear a more traditional hat. You will see an occasional NY Yankee hat, but why not buy the fancy hat you always wanted instead?
2. Athletic Wear: Europeans tend to wear athletic wear to do sports, not to wear around town. There is a trend of more athleisurewear in Europe, but it is not to the extent that there is in US.
3. Khakis: the omnipresent US male pant choice is not something you will see too often in Europe. Go for colored pants or jeans. If you want khaki like pants wear Chinos instead of Dockers. The pants you will see are a thinner cut or skinnier fit than in the US.
4. Oversized US University Sweatshirts.
5. Sport Shoes or High Heals: US sport shoes and white socks are not quite as popular in Europe as they are in the US. You may be better off with Urban Street shoes like Vans instead. Also, women should be careful with high heels as with all the cobblestone it is easy to hurt your ankles.

THE DON'TS of VISITING IRELAND | MISTAKES not to make in IRELAND!
What should you never do when visiting Ireland? What are the mistakes you don't want to do when living in Ireland? This is my experience from 4 years living in Ireland.
For some, Ireland is the land of saints and scholars, a peaceful isle of rolling hills and lilting music. It is all of that and more, but it’s also a place of quirks and odd habits. So how to navigate this little island at the edge of Europe? It will take longer than this video to understand the Irish people, but you’ll be off to a good start with this handy list of don’ts of traveling to Ireland or living in Ireland.
As long as you don’t greet them by saying ‘top of the morning’ (for those that don’t already know, this phrase is Hollywood Irish – no real Irish person ever says it), the Irish are generally laid-back, and visitors will get along fine just by adhering to general standards of etiquette and using their common sense. But if you want to have the smoothest trip possible, here are a few things you probably shouldn’t do in Ireland.
THE MOST IMPORTANT of them all, DON'T say it’s part of the UK!
This is arguably the single biggest faux pas you can make when talking to an Irish person. Although 26 of Ireland’s 32 counties officially became a republic almost 70 years ago – and had been designated an independent state for nearly 30 years before that – the whole country is still sometimes mistakenly described as being part of the United Kingdom, an error that its citizens find highly offensive.
I hope you all enyoded this one and I shall see you all next week.
Cheers! ????

Irish Culture & Traditions
Check out our post to read all about it!
Typical Traditions & Customs of St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick's Day traditions
1. St Patrick’s day is celebrated on March 17, the date of his death. The day is celebrated by millions all over the world and has become one of the most popular cultural events worldwide.
Typical Traditions & Customs of St. Patrick’s Day
2. There are a number of traditions to consider that are associated with St Patrick’s Day. Some are associated with religious traditions when others relate to people celebrating being Irish for the day, even for those who have no connections with Ireland.
The wearing of the green on St Patrick’s Day
3. Many people wear something green on St Patrick ’s Day that has become known by many as the wearing of the green to celebrate their Irish heritage.
Why do people wear green?
4. Green is one of the colors in Ireland's flag and the country is known as the Emerald Isle. Also, green is the color of the shamrock. According to Christian Science Monitor, the first color associated with St. Patrick's Day was blue, but it changed to green in the 17th century.
Holy day of obligation
5. Most, if not all, practising Christians in Ireland will attend Church on St Patrick’s Day as its a Holy Day of Obligation. Families would dress in their best clothing, with Shamrocks pinned on their breast, and attend Church as a family.
A day of parades & festivals
6. In the United States the first St Patrick’s Day parade occurred in New York City during 1766 and today parades are held all over the world inviting millions of people to celebrate being Irish for a day.
Greening of buildings and rivers
7. The use of the color green reached new heights (or plunged new depths!) when in 1962 the city of Chicago decided to dye part of the Chicago River green.
8. Whether in Ireland or abroad you may have seen some famous city landmarks being turned green in honour of St Patrick’s Day.
The Saint Patrick's Day dinner
9. Corned beef and cabbage is as traditional and Irish meal as you will ever find and it is often hauled out for Saint Patrick's Day. Traditional Irish music in the background and a family gathering are other Irish Saint Patrick's Day traditions that have been going on for centuries.
Shamrocks
10. The legend goes that Patrick used shamrocks or three-leaf clovers to help him explain the Holy Trinity to people. He would point to the leaves and identify each as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
But there is absolutely no evidence he did actually that.
Leprechauns
11. Leprechauns, these mythical creatues first came to light in Irish folklore as far back as the 13th century. They started out as shoemakers. Some Irish legends say if you find a one of this tricky creaturs, you can barter his freedom for three wishes.

Don't Say St. Patty's! – Avoid This Common Tourist Mistake in Ireland ???? | #StPaddysDay Tips
Ever wondered why Irish eyes might not be smiling when you say St. Patty's Day? In this quick YouTube Short, we're exploring one of the most common tourist faux pas in Ireland – misnaming their beloved St. Patrick's Day! Join us as we delve into the cultural significance of this day, learn the correct term St. Paddy's Day, and discover why it matters to the Irish.
Visiting Ireland, especially during St. Patrick's Day, is an experience filled with vibrant culture, lively parades, and a sea of green. However, blending in and respecting local customs can make your trip even more memorable. We're here to guide you on this, starting with the basics: getting the name of their most famous holiday right!
Why do the Irish prefer Paddy over Patty? It's all in the name – Paddy is derived from Pádraig, the Irish version of Patrick, while Patty is typically a female name. It's a small detail with a big impact on showing respect and cultural sensitivity.
So, before you pack your green hat and head to the Emerald Isle, watch this short video. You'll not only avoid a common tourist mistake but also get a glimpse into the heart of Irish culture. And who knows, you might just find yourself celebrating St. Paddy's Day like a local!
