They are friendly..
The first day when I arrived, I went out to look for a Tesco, to buy some stuff for my apartment. I had my wheeled luggage with me, and I was going to this street. A guy was looking out of the window, and he asked ' are you lost?'
And you know, i thought he was going to tell me to fuck off or something..
So I said ' Yes ' He didn't say a word, just closed the window. The next second he comes out to the street, and starts giving me directions. Just out of friendliness, he wasn't trying to ask for money or trying to touch me. He was just plain friendly.
I have been here for 4 months now, and I have never felt anyone looking at me like a ' filthy Eastern European, stealing our jobs ', and it feels nice.
On the other hand there is no water pressure, and there are a lot of places where you wont get warm water from the tap, you have to heat it beforehand.
I have asked my landlord and he looked at me, eyes wide and asked ' Why, do you expect to get warm water from the tap?!' Like I was looking for gold flowing from the tap or something :D
They are very patriotic, proud of being Irish, but they don't get offensive with other nations.
