Ireland is a place where the grass is greenest and the rain never forgets to RSVP.

Nestled in the North Atlantic, it is full of rolling hills, old castles, and pubs where strangers become best friends after three beers and have a lively debate about who really invented whiskey.

To get a better understanding of this distinct corner of the world, let's look at the Instagram account 'Meanwhile in Ireland.' Since 2014, it has regularly shared pictures and jokes that perfectly describe local life.

Also, don't miss the chat we had with traveler Helene Sula—you'll find it in between the pictures.

    Funny sign in Donegal warns drivers of potholes, humorously advising to remove dentures and tighten bra straps.

    meanwhile.in.ireland Report

    Ireland has several distinct regional cultures rather than a single national one, and the daily lives of city dwellers are in some ways much different from those living in the countryside.

    For example, whereas Dublin is described as one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities, the Blasket Islands of Dingle Bay, off Ireland's southwestern coast, seem almost a throwback to earlier centuries.

    "Ireland's charm lies in its breathtaking landscapes, from the rugged Cliffs of Moher to the serene rolling hills of the countryside," Helene Sula, the woman behind the travel and lifestyle blog Helene in Between, told Bored Panda.

    "Its rich history, vibrant folklore, and iconic music traditions create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and welcoming. There's truly no place quite like it! But what really separates Ireland for me, is not just how green and vibrant it is, it's how welcoming people are. You feel like you're instantly part of a community. There's something so special about being in a place where you feel confident."

    Indeed, many of the Irish people participate in the lively folk culture, at least on some level, as they attend the country’s numerous (amateur) musical, dance, and storytelling events.

    A great many also engage in crafts, producing items such as glass, ceramics, ironwork, wood turning, linens, embroidery, and knitwear.

    Irish fashion has also advanced beyond the still-popular Aran sweater, with various designers including Aoife McNamara, The Tweed Project, Niamh O'Neill, and many more establishing trends that appeal both nationally and internationally.

    An untrained ear can take a minute to get used to the sounds of the Irish language.

    From the local names that no one outside can seem to pronounce to the varied accents that you might encounter, Irishisms are certainly a breed of their own.

    The Irish have their own national language, and it tends to bleed into everyday conversational English too.

    Luckily, the locals should help you with it! "Irish people are some of the friendliest and most genuine you'll meet," Helene said, and even though I've been there only once, I can personally attest to her words.

    "They have a knack for storytelling and humor, making every interaction memorable. Their warmth and hospitality make visitors feel instantly at home. And somehow, everyone excels at music?! You can walk in almost any pub and there's a fantastic musician singing his or her heart out!" the traveler added.

    For those who are planning to visit Ireland for the first time, Helene suggests packing layers. "The weather can change quickly, so be prepared for rain or shine," she said.

    Then you'll be prepared to fully embrace the local culture. "Spend time in a traditional pub, enjoy live music, and try classic dishes like Irish stew or soda bread," she added. "Go beyond Dublin. While the capital is fantastic, the real magic lies in exploring smaller towns and natural wonders. Renting a car to discover the countryside is highly recommended. You can drive on the left—if I can do it... so can you!"

    If you will still have some time in the evenings between hopping around the country, check out Helene's debut novel Two O'Clock on a Tuesday at Trevi Fountain: A Search for an Unconventional Life Abroad. It's about taking risks and following your dreams while staying grounded.

    I was at a gig on Saturday in the east of the state and talking to the girlfriend of one of the band members. Asked where she lived, which was 4 hours south west of where were, in a small town 'we probably never heard of'. The town was where my uncle was born and my grandad taught for a few years, 50ish years ago!

    Post/Zip codes are still relatively new to Ireland. They were only introduced in 2015 (Dublin had them since the early 1900's, and Cork had "Districts") and they still only "encourage" to use them. You could easily write to my nan from anywhere in the world by just putting, {name}, Near {Closest Town}, Co Mayo, Ireland.

    The trouble comes with the UK postal services. If it says 'Ireland' They will forward it to Dublin. Dublin says, 'This 'aint ours. Send it back!' Northern Ireland in part of the UK and half of the people responsible for the postal service don't know the difference. Try putting just the addressee name, house number & Street name, then the postcode, then you should have better luck.

    That's an English newspaper though. In other news, did you know that Guinness was actually prescribed and used in some UK hospitals at least into the 1980s?

    When I had my daughter in 1986, my doctor prescribed a can of Guinness every day, to give me iron. True! I came to like it!

    Funnily enough they've done studies and it is actually possible to survive on a diet of potatoes, milk, and oatmeal (just for molybdenum). You'd eventually run into some health issues as it would be difficult to eat enough to get all of your daily allowance of certain vitamins and minerals, but for just survival purposes, you could do worse.

    Well.... Ireland is the name of the island. The Republic of Ireland is the main country. Northern Ireland the bit at the top. So original poster is correct. There's a great YouTube clip by Grey on the division and naming convention of the British Isles and Ireland. But I'll probably get down voted for this as it's an emotive topic, and a pedantic point.

    Translation: The local branch of the Gaelic Athletic Association held a fundraiser, where the top prize was a young female cow (that had not yet given birth). The local school for young children (aged under 12 years old) picked the name. The local priest announced the cow's name as 'Ice Spice'.
