Culture Wise Ireland is essential reading for anyone planning to visit or live in Ireland, whether for business or pleasure, for a few weeks' holiday or a lifetime. It's designed to help newcomers avoid cultural and social gaffes; make friends and influence people; and enhance their understanding of Ireland and its people. It explains what to expect and how to behave in most situations and get along with the locals and feel at home rather than feeling like a fish out of water. Culture Wise guides help remove the anxiety factor when dealing with a foreign culture and help new arrivals prepare for and alleviate culture shock and acclimatise to the local way of life.
