Advantages: Great atmostphere in bars & on the street, relaxed place, loads of pubs, Disadvantages: Not a great deal to do
of internet cafe's but I wouldn't say that Galway is good for shopping. The main entertainment form in this city I would say is the pubs, which is fair enough!
What to See & Do>>>
As we weren't there long, we didn't get to see much, however we went on the bus trip, which, while being a bit random (i.e. the commentary on house prices & the gypsy estate) was quite pleasant. From up above, Galway isn't the prettiest city, which is why I recommended getting a car so you can get about to the smaller surrounding villages.
Overall, a great short break holiday, not a great deal for kids to do however I'd assume, a couple of hours drive from Dublin will get you there, would be good for a group of people / stag / hen do
Enjoy ...
Advantages: Atmosphere. Well produced - Escapist Disadvantages: Story line too unrealistic for me
Last week I came across one of those special offers in HMV (4 DVds for £20). It was end of the season sale and I picked up a film called "The Village" just to make up the numbers. It struck me as being some sort of clichéd horror film from the blurb on the cover and I didn't expect to be watching it in the very near future. But it was one of those DVDs that keep popping up every time I looked through my shelf of dozens of other unwatched movies. Well the other evening, it popped up again and I just put it in the machine without giving it too much thought. As I wasn't in the mood for thinking anyway, it would probably be an ideal film.
As we got into the film, enter the monster, well, a glimpse of it. It was supposed to be scaring me but even my wife, who makes me jump out of my skin with her sudden screams in scary movies, remained ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Village (DVD)
The Village, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan on a budget of 60 million dollars, was going to be a tough follow up for a director known for his twists and turns. As it turned out, there was a twist, but it was a rather low key one, and it was almost apparent from the start, though it is not without a small end revelation, that will surprise you.
This movie starts off really slowly, leading you into the lives of a group of villagers, who live on the outskirts of a wood, in 1897 Pennsylvania, which is seemingly haunted by some nasty hideous monsters, referred to only as, 'Those we do not speak of'. A village where the colour red is not allowed, as it is the colour of evil. The Elders, who have set up and run the village, teach their children that the Towns outside their village is a bad place, and they must never cross into ...
