Marion: So you lived in Dublin for awhile, didn't you Mauve? What's life like in Dublin?
Mauve: I think life in Dublin is very different from everywhere else in the country. It's the biggest city in Ireland. It's got a population of about a million I think, even though the population of Ireland is only 4 million,
so most people...
Marion: So it's a quarter of the whole population.
Mauve: Exactly. It's a very young population, I think, the Dublin population, I suppose like all cities there's plenty to do, in terms of cinemas, theatres, I don't know, you know whatever else, comedy club and all that kind of, plenty of night clubs, loads of restaurants. It's very international now, at the moment I suppose, like there's Japanese restaurants, and well there's always Indian and Chinese, and there's like, I don't know, French and Spanish, and every type of restaurant.
Marion: So it's kind of a cosmopolitan 1 city.
Mauve: Yeah, exactly
Marion: Or big by Irish standards, I suppose. Yeah, it's probably like a village for other people.
Mauve: I know. Even though when I went to New York then, in June, it wasn't such a culture shock, cause even though, there are high rise buildings and every thing but it wasn't that different though. You know, I think that Dublin has come on a lot and it's by no means rural 2 anymore, you know, in comparison 3 to other cities in Ireland, like Cork 4 and Gaul, we're very rural, but, I don't think Dublin is.
Marion: Yeah, I think Dublin is like an international city, and it can stand on it's own.
Mauve: Definitely 5, yeah, you can compare to London or, you know, New York.
Marion: And the standard of, like the cost of living, is very high in Dublin, though, isn't it.
Mauve: Yeah, it is. Rents are much higher there. It's more expensive to eat out and I suppose to do everything really. You need a good salary to live in Dublin I think.
Marion: Yeah, yeah!
