Reading you're description, all I can think is "I want to live in Ireland". That sounds like a cultural trait that should be treasured.
In Canada, the only time you might talk to a stranger at a bar is if you're trying to hit on them.

- mrits 3y agoWhen I' traveling alone for work I almost always have a chat with someone at a hotel bar.
- deepspace 3y agoActually, that depends on the type of bar. At a Donnelly Group bar, absolutely. But at the older not-quite-dive bars, often attached to a motel and frequented by truckers, good conversation between strangers can still be had. Unfortunately, those bars are disappearing rapidly. 25 years ago, I lived across the street from one, and there were another two nearby. Maybe five or six in my neighbourhood. Now there is only one left, and it is struggling to stay open.

- namaria 3y agoI was born in the Americas, and I am an European citizen by descent. Being a dual citizen and getting to know the old country changed my life. Highly recommend it. The Americas are very much a frontier society and people who have lived for over a thousand year together have accumulated much more conviviality skills.
