Answer 1

I come from Ireland and I live in Australia.

Ireland is beautiful but so is Australia. Australia is a far better place to visit, warmer and considerably cheaper.

For citizenship go to the relevant embassy in your country

Answer 2

I'm Australian and lived in Ireland for 2 years. I actually prefer Ireland, especially the Western parts (Galway, Clare, Donegal) although the weather is generally pretty c**p. The people and the character of the community is enough to make up for it though. Especially in the pubs.

Start off in Dublin, of course, but take time to see the real rural parts in the west too. The North is also worth a look, but I'm not sure if you'd want to live there. Although the people there are the friendliest I've met, there is tension (protestant/ catholic, and it's hard to be neutral all the time).

  Galway city was my favourite spot of all though, and I'd quite happily live there again (In fact I'm hoping to). It's a very pretty city, with it's medieval laneways and old stone buildings. It has a vibrant nightlife and isn't so big as to be claustrophobic. It has good local beaches for nice days, and easy access to the scenic areas of the Connemara and Clare. But also it depends on you and what you're looking for.

  In Australia you'll find good (hot) weather across most of the country. People are friendly enough, but you might be slightly disappointed with service levels in country areas. I was when I returned here! There's good beaches, especially on the sparsely populated West Coast. Esperance is highly recommended. The 2 whitest beaches in the world are there and they're fantastic for snorkelling or surfing. Perth is a nice, clean, modern city. It's my favourite of the Australian cities.

  On the East coast is Melbourne, and the nightlife and atmosphere here are perhaps the best in Australia. Although one of our biggest cities, it manages to remain warm, friendly and welcoming (in my experience, anyway). Problem is it gets a bit cold (kind of like Irish weather actually).

  Sydney is worth a mention, it's a tourist hub. I find it overcrowded and a little fast paced to enjoy properly though. It's also known as being the most expensive part of the country. Any stories you've heard of Bondi beach being a good beach, though: forget it. It's overcrowded, dirty and artificial. Avoid it if you can, there are plenty of better ones.

  As for citizenship, that's tricky. If you're less than 30, and from most parts of the world you can obtain a working holiday visa. But if you're from the US it's more complicated for some reason. I knew an american backpacker here. He could only stay for 10 months, and could only work for 4 of them. It's a really strange system and I can't say I understand it.

  For longer term stays, involving residency, you'll need to marry someone (or have a DeFacto relationship) who's Australian, or obtain a working Visa. This can be done easily if you work in the medical profession.

  There are other ways for getting citizenship, but you're better off looking into it yourself on the Australian Department of Immigration's website http://www.immi.gov.au/

  Good luck and happy travels

Answer 3

Well for a start it helps if you can spell the country. That would be a start I guess...

Answer 4

Ireland would be a beautiful place to go!!!

There is really good scenery and tourist attractions there!

If you go to Dublin or the city centre (in Dublin) there is LOADS of shops, pubs and clubs and there is tourist attractions there too and a good tourist bus.

If you want to go to a more peaceful relaxing place then I would advise Donegal or somewhere in the west of Ireland where it is very Rural.

Kerry is in the south of Ireland. It is a very tourist orientated place especially in Tralee (a town there!) they have a lot of shops (not as many as Dublin though) and they have accommodation and there is a really nice swimming pool there called the Aqua dome.

Good Luck!
