Irish people have a reputation for friendliness and hospitality .
The culture of advancement and materialism which has developed here in the last ten years has resulted in people having less time on their hands to help out a floundering foreigner. Beware the invitation to have tea. This is not necessarily sinister though. In fact, it reveals an endearing side to Irish people - their curiosity . Don't be fooled by the innocent act you may encounter outside the main cities.
