1.Love for horses. In most small towns of the country, horse racing is the only entertainment, and the horses participating in them become local celebrities.
2.Receiving an unusual inheritance. The main value that a son can inherit from his father is a hat. Hinting at the humid climate of the island, the Irish often joke that a headdress in such weather is an indispensable thing.
3.Unwillingness to eat at a party. With regard to food, the Irish adhere to a strange principle – either eat what you cooked yourself, or go to the pub. It is not customary to go to a party to have dinner or at least drink a glass of whiskey here.
4.A sincere love for black humor. Even close friends in a private conversation can not resist not to let go of some kind of sharp "compliment" to each other.
5.Love of arguments. Polemic on any topic is the national weakness of the Irish. They like to provoke and provoke the interlocutor until he agrees to enter into a debate, even on a very unambiguous issue.
Объяснение:
Northern Ireland is made of tradition. Here are fresh legends about the ancient Celts who came here in time immemorial. Northern Irish people to this day do not forget about traditional clothes, songs, dances and customs to celebrate modern and ancient holidays. For example, on New Year's Eve, the people of the "Emerald Isle" necessarily open the doors in their homes so that the troubles and misfortunes of the previous year leave the house, and instead of them come happiness, wealth and love along with the coming year. Cuisine of Northern Ireland contains dishes traditional for the region - cumin muffins, puddings and meat baked according to the original recipe.
The most clear mass manifestation of traditions is expressed in the "marching season", the time of which begins at Easter and lasts until mid-autumn. The rite is strictly observed in religious communities professing Protestantism. The largest parades are held in the middle of summer.The event is timed to coincide with the victory of the British Protestant king William III of Orange over the Catholic monarch James II and his army. The event took place on July 11, 1690, the battle of the Boyne became decisive. Since then, true Irish patriots have been celebrating this day with a cheerful and numerous exit to the streets of the city.
