  3. I wonder will he get a Dublin version of “Paris Syndrome” when he pays €10 and gets a shite pint in Temple Bar

  4. I remember watching this a few weeks ago. I think he actually said he was moving here to study or something and the host asked him why he picked Ireland. That is the question that the text in the image is in reply to which makes it funnier. The lad decided to move here just for the Guinness.

    He’ll fit in whenever he arrives.

  7. I was actually in Japan in 2019
    In an Irish pub in Osaka a local fella told us he though Guinness was the best!

  10. I live in Japan and people are sometimes shocked when I tell them Guinness is ours. Also Halloween is from us. Other than that it’s pretty uncommon to meet a Japanese person who knows anything about Ireland except maybe that we have a good rugby team.

    Ireland is actually so under the radar here that often when i mention it’s where i’m from some people will ask me if i meant Iceland.

  11. I live in Taiwan. Its fairly well known here. Guinness,The Cranberries, the weather and the butter.

    This is my favorite ever ‘ireland’ encounter: In a taxi with an elderly local driver. He had a full beard which is kinda unusual for Taiwanese. Andy lay, the usual very broken english/mandaring convo occurs, how.long have you been here, where are you.from etc

    I tell him Ireland, and he.says ‘aaah, Irelan, very good very good. (…pauses..) IRA! Irelan not UK, Taiwan not china! Welcome friend!

    then he pauses again and says ‘Dubliners! very good! Big beards! then he looks at me in the mirror and strokes his beard, and asks me if I like it. I reply that I do, it’s an excellent beard.

    He tells me ‘Taiwan women don’t like. Irelan ren Like. Understand good beard!

    laughed me arse off
