Moving from Dublin to Donegal what to expect?

Quinn123

I am 16 and have lived in ballymun my whole life and am moving to bundoran in donegal next week. We are moving there because I got expelled from school and my ma is from there.

What is it like there I love to play Gaelic football is there any good clubs in Donegal ? What do lads do for fun there? Does there be many fights? What do they think of us dubs more importantly what does girls there think of us?

Sorry for so many questions and feel free to tell me about Donegal.
Tnx and cheers bud

It is a small town that is moderately busy during the summer but very quiet out of season. It is famous for surfing and has a great surf school there. Good library too.
The school is a decent size and has activities and sports etc. I did some supply teaching there about five years ago.

People say 'hai' a lot. Doesn't mean anything but they say it.

Were you never in Bundoran before?

Seems drastic action to up and move house because you got expelled from school

They buy a cheapo rwd car off "The Dealer" magazine, weld the diff and try and write their name in black on the main road. Time was the Sierra was favourite, but they are too hard got nowadays.
And most important, don't call people "Bud" or "Starry Bud". Bad for your health.

Don't encourage the lad, there is enough of those types about, and its twincams ,lexus is200s or altezzas that are in at the minute.

Bundoran is a grand spot, busy in summer quiet the rest of the year. It has a good underage GAA team that should be no problem training with and people are generally sound. And Aye, don't be calling people "bud" you'll get used to the local lingo eventually :pac:

Don't worry OP, I know a lad from Stoneybatter who upped sticks and moved to Donegal and got stuck in with local GAA and craic, he'd be a well liked fella around the area he lives and while he gets plenty of stick for being a Dub, its all good natured and he gives it back in spades. He's even cultivating a bit of the Donegal twang!

You'll be grand. Lovely spot.
