Ireland - Culture Smart!

Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

Regular travel guides provide sightseeing info, accommodation listings and prices, all of which are freely available online and susceptible to Covid-related travel restrictions. Culture Smart! guides, however, focus on the people, their history, culture, traditions, and etiquette-information that is not readily available online from any single source, and make for an insightful and valuable read whether on the road or at home.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Most guidebooks on Ireland will tell you where to stay and what to see. Culture Smart! Ireland is written for people who want to know more and go deeper. Here you will find the beliefs and attitudes of the Irish, their rich musical and literary culture, their ancient language and mythology, the values they live by, how they do business, how they enjoy themselves, and the ways they have been moulded by their tumultuous history and indeed their geography.

This understanding will be appreciated by your hosts; it will open doors to you, even open the hearts of a generous, talented people, justifiably proud of their unique identity.
