Pavan is about to follow directions to Kerry County Museum when he meets Megan. She is married to Pavan’s friend Fiachra and she had gone to the station to meet him. She could not see him at first but she ran after him and met him as he was about to leave. They walk together to the County Museum where there is a restaurant. Try to notice the names of the food they order and the way Megan is talking to the waiter.

Irish people drink both tea and coffee. In the last ten to fifteen years coffee shops have become more popular. When you visit an Irish person’s home, you may be asked „Would you like a cup of tea?” as a sign of hospitality. It is generally more acceptable to accept the offer rather than to decline. Irish people will generally not be offended by such a decline.

Guinness is made in Ireland and is available throughout the world. Normally when Irish people order Guinness, they ask for „a pint“. In a bar, an Irish person might order a pint (I’ll have a pint please“) and she/he will not usually say „a pint of Guinness“. Irish people if asking you out for a drink might say „Are you going for a pint?”

At a cafe you usually order and pay at the counter, even though there are some places serving at the table.
Restaurants always have table service. Note that it is rude to shout at the waiter. You can wait discreetly until the waiter comes. In some restaurants you may need to wait until the waiter shows you to your table. You are generally advised to make a reservation when dining in a restaurant or hotel restaurant in the evening or at night.
