Ireland

The atmosphere that we live in a traditional Irish pub is really hard to describe, even if they have at their disposal as in this case, words, sounds and images.

Last night we spent the evening at Mannion's pub in Cifden. In my personal experience I think that the ingredients were all there: traditional music (singer, player cash tablespoons), local fishermen completely drunk, whiskey rivers, rude tourists (I do not really want ... but in this case it was French), choreographed fights, and a burst of Gardi Dirty Old Town sung by anyone inside and outside the premises to restore the cosmic balance in the pub.

I think that for a non-Irish is difficult to understand how the punch pub is still a practice so widespread here. For the headlines but it is necessary to clarify that this is something completely different from what we are used to fight in Italy for example disco. People here go on for tens of minutes to poke fun in a totally playful and terribly fancy "look at that big belly that you could not lift the skirt of your wife!" ... To which one responds "you're so drunk that if you fall pants do not you know it! "... and so on (reminds me so much of the game environment pirate Monkey Island) . At the punch you get just for fun and very difficult to attend to the real evil.
