When I checked through the website the 8 CD course linked to an unknown page & the 2 CD course was sold out so I've already settled on 10. Cork & the rest of the West doesn't have as many Eastern Euros but they are there in construction. It takes awhile walking through baggage claim in Dublin Aeroport to see a queue that does not have a Eastern Euro sign over it. Whether they know it or not, the Irish are sitting on a time bomb with housing as well. With all of the recent new arrivals Dublin County in particular could have problems. Driving in Dublin isn't a thrill either. It's best to find a parking spot and leave the car until the day that you are leaving, then build in an extra 30 minutes to an hour to get out of the County. The country has lost quite a lot of the charm. Italy is still okay, but best out in the country. Even cities like Sienna are wall to wall tourism. You know, in Venice they recently set up a water taxi that is only for the locals? Traffic is so bad they couldn't get on the usual boats. EDIT nytimes.com
