    What are the 4 friendlier cities?

    Any visitors I've had over here have all said the people are really friendly, so based on that I might even agree.

    Dublin is friendly, it's easy to get around, walkable and people are welcoming. There's plenty of social issues of course but they stand out for insiders more than for visitors. What we call no go areas are very tame by other cities' standards.

    People zone in on the bad, I think it is a very friendly city, where there's bad there's good, what about the couple who looked after the American guy who was mugged after saving a man in the liffey? , They looked after him for the night and brought him out that evening, The good outweighs the bad, I'm sick of people constantly putting down the city.

    Irish people are masochists. Even in the face of statistics that say otherwise, they will insist their country and cities are terrible, awful places to live.

    Even a few weeks ago when Ireland was voted the most "good" country in the world the company that published the study received complaints from Irish people.
