How the Irish themselves see life on their Emerald Isle and why it is called that.





The love for the green color among the Irish, apparently, is in the blood, because green everywhere on the island: the waters of the Atlantic, green meadows and swamps, green shamrock clover, which has long become a symbol of the country, Day St. Patrick's when everyone dresses up in green suits. Even from outer space Ireland is almost completely green, so it's not for nothing that the island is called Emerald. Nevertheless, they can tell about what kind of Ireland only the Irish. The best way to get to know them is to go to journey through the Emerald Isle and visit this country. But before that still worth watching the Irish in social networks and see how what stereotypes and problems they themselves laugh at. And of course be inspired by their love for their country, for the past and for the unique nature.
