A Trip to Ireland | Travel & English

Eat Sleep Dreamers, I'm heading to Dublin in Ireland and I thought you guys should come

with me, right?

I've got my passport.

There's the plane.

Let's go have a great weekend!

Alright, I've just landed in Dublin.

I've just checked into my hotel and I'm going for a run.

That's right Eat Sleep Dreamers, I'm going to go for a run.

It's the best way to see the city.

Get on your two feet and run!

I'm going to do it.

Are you going to come with me?

Guys, I'm running along and I suddenly get this amazing smell.

I'm like 'what's that?'

I turn around and it's, it's the Guinness factory!

They only make my favourite drink in there.

Amazing!

It smells incredible.

It's very hard to run and smell that smell at the same time.

I promise I will come back.

I will return.

I will have my Guinness at the top of there factory.

There's a bar up there, I know there's a bar with a beautiful view over Dublin.

I'm going to return.

Alright, got to keep running.

Guys, you join me at half-time during a hurling match.

Now hurling is a traditional Irish sport, it's really fast, it's really fun.

I'm absolutely loving it.

It's a bit similar to rugby or hockey, I can't really describe it.

I'll show you in a minute but it's a fantastic sport.

Ok, at the moment it's a pretty tight game.

I don't really understand all the rules but I am enjoying it.

And the best thing about this is the crowd reaction.

Watching the crowd get really passionate about this game, it's fascinating.

Because we've come all the way to Ireland I want to talk to you guys about some travel

vocabulary and I want to start off with a really popular word at the moment.

It's a feeling, it's that feeling that you to travel to as many places as you can.

It's that feeling that when you look at a photo of an amazing place you think 'I want

to go there, I want to see that'.

That feeling is 'wanderlust'.

Now, it's really popular these days, you see it on Instagram hashtag wanderlust and that's

just people talking about their desire to travel.

Do you ever get wanderlust?

Because I have wanderlust most of the time especially when I'm on Instagram.

Ireland was definitely on the list of places that I wanted to visit so here I am.

I'm here with my friends for the weekend.

So we describe this as 'a weekend away'.

And that's just a weekend, not at home, visiting a different place.

Now if you are with just male friends you could call that 'a guys' weekend' and if you

are with female friends, just females you could call that 'a girls' weekend.'

It's the same idea, a group of friends together going somewhere to have fun.

Ok, let's practise.

'Let's plan a weekend away in December'.

Ok, good job guys.

Now tell me, I really want to know.

Have you been for a weekend away recently?

Where did you go?

Did you have fun?

Who did you go with? et cetera et cetera tell me in the comments below, I love to hear your

stories.

As promised I said i would get my Guinness so I've come to the Guinness factory.

I'm going to go on the tour.

Check it out.

See how it's made and then hopefully at the end I'll get to try a beautiful pint of Guinness.

Alright, we are inside.

Now whenever I come to a museum i always seem to forget all the facts that I've learned

so today I'm going to try and learn three facts about Guinness to take away home with

me afterwards.

We've come to the end of the tour and at the end they have a wonderful surprise for you.

There is something called the Gravity Bar where you come up and there's a bar there.

They give you a ticket and you get a free pint of Guinness with the most amazing view

of Dublin, let's have a look.

So I finally got my pint of Guinness.

I'm very very happy.

It tastes absolutely incredible.

I think if you learn about how it's made, by the time you get to taste it, you are so

ready, it's amazing.

Anyway cheers Eat Sleep Dreamers.

Ok, I've finished my tour.

I remember my three things.

So my three things are.

Guinness or beer, Guinness has four things in it.

It has barley, hops, water and yeast.

Alright that's number one.

Second thing is that the water in Guinness is from, not from the River Liffey, which

is in Dublin, which most people think.

It's actually from the Wicklow mountains.

Alright that's number two.

Third thing!

Third thing.

Hold on.

Alright the third thing.

I remembered the third thing is that Guinness is actually red.

It looks black but if you hold it up to the light then you'll see that it's actually a

very dark ruby red colour.

Yes!

I got my three things and I recommend any time you go to a museum don't try and learn

everything because it's impossible.

Just try and remember three things or three key facts and take them home with you and

you will remember them for life, maybe.

Guys, that's it, I've come to the end of my trip, my whistle stop tour here in Dublin.

It's been a magnificent time.

I've met some wonderful people, had some great food, had too much Guinness but it was all

worth it.

Anyway I'm going to be going on another trip really soon to another place in Europe.

I'm going to be telling you more about it really soon, you guys are definitely coming

with me, Ok?

I'm really excited.

Anyway, that's it for today.

Thanks so much for hanging with me guys.

This Tom the English Hipster saying goodbye.
