Northern
Ireland: A War Zone?
Northern Ireland [ here on in referred to as NI ] is not the war
zone that is depicted on the television. This is a common
misconception.
Now that more people are coming to NI than ever, it's become obvious
that there are some difficulties for tourists understanding what
Northern Irish people are saying. With our help, you'll be holding
normal conversations with Northern Irish people in no time!
One comment we hear from tourists goes along the lines of, "
I
thought Northern Irish people were insane. Really violent and
stuff...
."
Of course any multi-cultural societies have problems, but don't let
that interfere with your holiday! With our help, you won't get into
fights for saying the wrong thing....

People
Northern Irish people are the same as anyone from anywhere. People
here are so fresh, varied, exciting and entertaining we're sure
you'll never spend a dull moment in NI.
From the warm and friendly atmosphere of Belfast to the cooler, damp
regions of the Mourne Mountains, you'll be sure to bump into quite a
few characters! Especially in the Mourne's area.
But please do be careful. People who live in NI have developed a
knack of being able to tell who's a madman and who's not. Tourists
usually get it wrong. If you think you might be encountering one of our
few madmen, just politely ask a passer-by what they think
