IRELAND
ireland... i'm going there
I don't have my Ireland page quite operational yet, but while I'm working on it check out these fun things that are Irish. Or are pretending to be.
Colmcille Semester in Ireland - This is the study abroad program I'm going on next semester through UW - Milwaukee. Until I know what's going on myself, check out the site.
Ireland.com - The Irish Times online
FIFA.com - This site has to do with the World Cup. See, Ireland is going to the 2002 World Cup (they played Iran in the playoffs, I know that much), but so are about 2,983 other teams. I'm really confused as I thought the World Cup was like the Superbowl, with two teams and one game. Maybe it is more like the World Series, but with a whole bunch teams and a whole bunch of games. Anyway, if you can explain this to me I'd love to figure it out beause I'm sure it's a very big deal and I don't want to be a dumb American when I go there.
Beo - This is an online Gaelic magazine. Don't worry, I don't speak Gaelic either.
Riverdance - Riverdance rocks.
Milwaukee Irish Fest - If you're in Milwaukee at the end of August, you should go! It's so much fun!
Gaelic Storm - Band that plays Irish music, they're really good.
Guinness Online - I don't think it is legal to talk about Ireland without mentioning alcohol.
U2.com - It is also illegal to talk about Ireland without mentioning U2.
Seven Nations - Another band, but I think they're from Florida.
Trinity Irish Dancers - Very very very good Irish dance company based in Chicago and Milwaukee. Rumor has it that this is where those Riverdance guys got their ideas. Hmm. Oh, and my little sister takes classes there. Awww.
Irish Echo Online - Another newspaper.
