I thought this was a dope read. However, something nagging me about it, and I need some on-the-ground expertise. How legit is this depiction of Dublin/Crumlin? I get the sense that it's overstated for dramatic effect, but I don't know shit.

I heard Dublin is equivalent to Brownsville/Flatbush Brooklyn LOL.

It's the "Hood" of Ireland, they say.

Not saying being drunk doesn’t mess up you reasoning. I’m turning 20 soon so I haven’t had a drink ever.

Repped. Still a great piece, but from what I e seen it's sensationalized.

There's a big difference between visiting a city and living in it tho. Like Belfast, some parts are nice and other parts I imagine would be quite intimidating to an outsider, with the paramilitary murals and whatnot. Any city is going to be very rough in places and very pleasant in others.

lmao here's my Hood Advisor.com

As an Englishmans first visit to the Emerald Isle, I found Orc's hood to be very quaint and pleasant, much like the islands inhabitants even if I couldnt in the least understand what they were saying. There were plenty of transport links but buses etc are quite costly and often don't do a return ticket, WHO THE FUCK DOESNT DO RETURN TICKETS IN CAPITAL CITIES IN 2017, BRUV?! also a lot of the buses want correct change and won't take notes. For a fly player like myself who only carrys stacks, this was a problem. There's also a distinct lack of hood chicken shops and afro Caribbean foods. Sure, there's plenty of overpriced tourist traps and "chicken tenders" but no great off-the-bone seasoned with jerk sauce type shit even in the back streets. This lost you at least one hood pass on the final scoring system. There's plenty of boring old buildings for middle class white people and Aeros to take pictures of themselves in front of with their expensive camera equipment that only see light once a year, much like the anaemic pale Irish looking folks themselves. The great thing about Dublin centre is that it's really big for Ireland, but small as fuck for a capital city in the rest of the real world. At home, I've a backgarden bigger than your capital city. This is a double edged sword somewhat, as you're never more than a few meters away from a pub, but you're never more than a few steps away from a Syrian refugee that refuses to beg EVEN THOUGH THEYRE CLEARLY SAT THERE WANTING A HAND OUT WTF?! The city centre was too much of a tourist trap for me tbh, i wanted to get out of there and see the real Dublin. The fighting Irish Du Lin. And I did. I was on a bus with my wife and child and we drove past a particularly lulzy 3-way fight between two women and a man. I use the words "women" and "man" sheepishly. The women were both smack rats and the "man" was gentlemanly enough to escort their face into his clentched fist as the bus passengers looked on. It felt like I was watching monkeys in the zoo hurtling their own excrement at each other. Still, it saved me paying to visit Dublin Zoo for the day I guess. In my time exploring the outskirts I found some graffiti and whatnot, though, this is more the hipster Banksy government-approved on certain walls now it's a bit more socially acceptable type of shit rather than the grassroots stuff I'm used to. I found a few shit hole bars that would have prob been better served with a hole in the ground to shit it than the toilets they did have.

Still, overall a very soft place to stay in IMO. 1 and a half stars.
