1, communication

Irish people are outgoing, cheerful, sincere, friendly and tolerant, and always smile when greeting people. Meet, say goodbye, shake hands and look at each other. When meeting relatives and friends, it is often a kiss or a cheek. When you meet the guests for the first time, you should address them as "sir", "madam", "miss", "doctor" and "professor". When you meet them, you will be called more kindly. In communication situations, after introducing yourself, I usually send my business card.

When invited to Ireland, you can send flowers or chocolates to your hostess. But lilies are only suitable for religious festivals, while white flowers are only suitable for funerals and cannot be used for daily communication. If invited to dinner, you can also bring expensive wine or cheese.

They often give presents on birthdays and Christmas. When you receive a gift, you usually open it immediately and enjoy it with the guests. Men respect women, and "ladies first" has become common sense.

Step 2 prescribe diet

The staple food of Irish people is bread, and milk and potatoes are also indispensable foods in daily life. I like stewed beef, mutton and pork. , with carrots, coix seed, vegetables and potatoes. The recipes are rich in seafood, such as oysters, lobsters and salmon. The specialties are corned beef with Chinese cabbage, bacon with Chinese cabbage, potato cake with smoked salmon (potato cake with smoked salmon and a layer of cheese). For breakfast, most office workers are drinks such as milk, corn or porridge, juice and coffee. Because time is tight, lunch is usually dominated by sandwiches, or order a few side dishes in a bar with an Irish rye beer. Dinner is a main meal, usually meat, vegetables and potatoes.

The diet in Ireland is similar to that in Britain. It likes to put condiments on the table and let diners season themselves. A family dinner usually includes three meals, namely cold cuts, main courses and desserts. In addition, there will be cheese platters, red wine and drinks such as coffee or tea. The main course is usually meat or fish, as well as various vegetables and chips, mashed potatoes and sauces.

3. clothes

In social occasions, men wear suits and ties, and women wear suits or skirts. Wear more evening dresses when attending dinner parties. However, short skirts are the national costume of Irish men and are usually made of traditional hand-made cloth. At some ceremonies, they like to wear short skirts in green or orange. The difference between their short skirts and men's skirts in England and other places is that the skirts here are mainly plaid. The traditional clothes of Irish women are wool cloaks and shawls. The cloak is tied in a bow with a ribbon at the front. Women's skirts are mainly linen, mostly green. When a young woman gets married, she will definitely buy a thick red cloak to symbolize good luck, and the scarf tied on her head will be tied behind her head.

Because the Irish like green, so do the locals, especially on March 17, the Irish National Day. Hats vary in shape, from top hats to tall hats, and some simply wear a green wig-shaped hat.

4. Custom

The Irish flag is made up of green, white and orange. Green represents life and strength, and it is also the representative color of Catholicism that most people in Ireland believe in. White symbolizes hope, and orange represents new sects. The combination of these three colors is to hope that Catholics and Protestants will unite as brothers.

Clover is its national flower, and people like to wear a bunch of clover on their chests. Irish people worship and love the harp pattern, and its national emblem pattern is the harp. Taboos "13" and "Friday" They think it is impolite to shake hands or talk with several people at the same time. If you see a single magpie, you will think that something bad is coming; If you see two magpies at the same time, it indicates a happy event.

They value privacy, but they don't ask others about their whereabouts, salary, age and marital status. Avoid talking about politics, especially the relationship between Ireland and Britain.

Extended reading: physical examination knowledge of Irish immigrants

First: make an appointment

After choosing the physical examination center, I called to make an appointment. Generally, it will be arranged around 8: 00 am, and the people in the physical examination center will also remind you of the materials you need to bring: passport, ID card, at least 3 passport-sized photos, and physical examination form.

Tips:

1. Attention, girls! When making an appointment, avoid the physiological period;

2. I suggest you bring a folder and put the information together to avoid losing it;

It's easy to lose such a small photo, so take more photos in case of emergency.

Second: Go for a physical examination.

On the day of physical examination, you can go to the hospital one hour in advance and register at the designated window. Then wait for the money, the queue number and the locker key. Then wait for the doctor to call, and then go to the physical examination. If the queue time is not counted, the whole process is still very fast.

Physical examination items mainly include: chest X-ray, blood routine, urine routine, vision, weight and some medical examinations. The project is more routine, it will check AIDS, but it will not check hepatitis B.

Tips:

1. You can drink water properly when waiting in line, but don't go to the toilet. Because under normal circumstances, the first physical examination item is urine test;

2. Myopic friends can check their eyesight with glasses without taking off their glasses;

3. You need an empty stomach, so try not to eat breakfast;

4. People who have had tuberculosis, had surgery, or are being treated should bring past X-rays and at least half a year's cases to explain the situation to the doctor.

Third: wait for the physical examination form.

After the medical examination results come out, the medical examination center will directly send the original medical examination results to the embassy and give you a copy. Generally, the whole process takes 1-2 weeks, so just wait at home.

Suppose that once there is something wrong with the physical examination, let you review it. Don't panic. Just check it again according to the requirements and steps given by the embassy. The second interview is mostly a single exam.

According to unofficial sources, the Irish Immigration Bureau has no relevant regulations on the evaluation of medical examination results, and the visa officer depends on the situation, but we can probably estimate the impact of certain diseases on visas based on past experience.

AIDS is a high-risk disease, so even HIV carriers are very likely to be refused visas.

Followed by pneumonia and tuberculosis. People with a history of tuberculosis are likely to be diagnosed as non-infectious after three days of sputum culture; And after 3 months, the X-ray film was reviewed to confirm that there was no recurrence.

Then there is the possibility of syphilis and diabetes refusal. Applicants will be required to examine and prove that they are not contagious or serious enough to burden the Irish medical system.
