    Love the presenter's delightful mode of expression.She is charming to say the least!
    The video should be a least twice as long and I think the population is at least double what she said it was.But I'll forgive her because she's an adorable young lady!❤.She should stay forever!
    I'm from a town outside Cork City but havent lived there for over 45 years but will be in the City in a couple of months and will try the Coca Cola bikes and that breakfast place that was featured and of course a few pints at The Long Valley and Le Chateau .💚🇮🇪

    Great video, just learned tonight that my ancestor James Andrew Murphy came from Cork, between 1740 and 1770, and traveled to St.Joseph Newfoundland, Canada. Been interest in finding out more information on Cork and found this video very informative on the culture in Cork, and too no surprise it’s very like Newfoundland with their Irish ways. 🇨🇦❤️ 🇮🇪

      Six Miles Away, I haven’t visited Ireland yet but watching videos like this makes me want to take a trip over that way sometime in the near future, once this pandemic is behind us all of course.
      The way of life in Newfoundland is very similar to the Irish ways, we have art, folklore, dancing, access to open Irish bands every weekend and sometimes even on the weekdays, we like to drink, joke and have fun, we have the oldest city in North America, the most bars on one street in North America
      Stay safe and thank you for sharing this information with me and the world.

    • @SixMilesAway
      @SixMilesAway  Před 4 lety

      bababoo zonkie you are welcome :) in my opinion it is not always cold and raining due to global warming! Last year we had around 4-6 weeks a very nice summer up to 30 degrees even and also snow in winter which never happens. Usually the weather is around 5-20 degrees so not super cold. Sometimes it rains a lot and sometimes it is just a short shower for a few minutes ... for me the most annoying was the wind and rain combined haha

      bababoo zonkie I lived there 4 years. It took me some time to adjust. Let’s say the first 1.5 years I didn’t enjoy it too much but then a lot. There are houses/apartments with mold and very old but there are also super new and fancy ones. It also depends on the city but in cork they are improving more and more. Just make sure you visit yourself and not just rely on photos. :)
