I was there upon arival of a layover from my aer lingus flight. We took a double decker bus (3.80 Euros for 1 adult 2 children one way) to the city Centre THe center is Lovely at night! They have a beautiful gigantic Illuminated Christmas tree! It sparkles 1st red then green,then blue!
The people were for the most part friendly, but they like to exagerate a bit if they tell you for instance there's a bus, believe them -- just don't expect it at the time they tell you...that sort of things so know your directions there.
THe main street is large and people are everywhere its quiet ...except we wittnessed a dispute between an resturaunt owner and a customer...the customer yelled out a foul phrase re the man's business and the man slowly left repeating obsenities and then threw small pebbles at the owner and he threw some back and they yelled about how bad the other was.... a man in a business suit passed by and chuckled I guess there was a police crew but it faded fast...all very exciting to me!
It was a lovely experience. I would go!!!! again!!!
