the people of dublin are different from the people from other places.
so are people from other places perhaps different from each other, but anyway, here i was talking about the people of dublin and actually doing something the people of dublin don't do , which is waltzing around a subject without going straight to the point. they sometimes scare the shit out of me when they go so straight to the point, but it actually pleases me to know that their point won't have any point tomorrow, once tomorrow they won't remember a thing.
people in dublin do not drink too much.
i would drink much more if i had lived here my whole life and honestly, i would smile much less than they do.
people in dublin smile all the time. some may say that they don't mean it when they smile, but why on earth would we care if strangers have a reason to be smiling at you? would it be better to cry and have a reason? well, i just smile back and then ta-da we have a reason ! guess that's fair enough.
they talk, they ask questions and give you detailed answers about everything that is not weather-related.
the weather is the only thing the people of dublin can't explain. they just cope with it. i think they act the same towards the people from portugal. cause they can't understand why are there people from portugal that are not from albiuféra or práia de liuz and what the hell are they doing in ireland.
people of dublin agree with the fact that ryanair was a governmental measure to fight against alcoholism. a plane ticket to the south of spain is cheaper than getting drunk in temple bar indeed. you just have to handle the soundtrack of ryanair flights, which is quite an issue.
people of dublin actually like guiness. they become mad at you when you drink plain milk because milk is supposed to be drank with tea and not alone.
they just don't get the coffee thing.
people of dublin have strange ways,
they wear trainers at night and nightdresses in mid-afternoon barbecues.
they say goodbye to the bus driver and he actually answers back.
people in dublin are still surprised everytime it starts to rain.
guess we will all leave this city some day, even the people from here think that way,
but in the meanwhile, none of us can deny that we just love it as it is,
no matter how odd and cold,
it is kept well inside our hearts.
all of us strangers
and the people of dublin .

And the people from Dublin can only smile, because they know that, every once in awile, the sky will cave in on their heads. Cheers to the dubliners on all their simplicity.
