Spanish Text<\/h2>\n
\nEmma: Yo soy de Espa\u00f1a, de toda la vida. Pero mi familia viene de Irlanda.
\nSantiago: Qu\u00e9 interesante. Veo qu\u00e9 tienes el pelo pelirrojo y la piel blanca. No s\u00e9 mucho de Irlanda. \u00bfC\u00f3mo es? \u00bfToda la gente tiene el pelo pelirrojo?
\nEmma: Por supuesto que no. Mucha gente s\u00ed, pero no la mayor\u00eda. Irlanda es un pa\u00eds muy bonito. Muy verde. Y la gente es muy amable. Hablan con todo el mundo.
\nSantiago: \u00bfCu\u00e1l es la capital?
\nEmma: Belfast es la capital de Irlanda del norte y Dubl\u00edn es la capital de la rep\u00fablica de Irlanda.
\nSantiago: \u00bfCu\u00e1ntas personas viven en Dubl\u00edn? \u00bfEs una ciudad grande?
\nEmma: No es muy grande. No es como Madrid o Londres. Creo que viven aproximadamente quinientas mil personas en Dubl\u00edn. Igual m\u00e1s.
\nSantiago: \u00bfY la mayor\u00eda de los irlandeses trabajan en Dubl\u00edn?
\nEmma: S\u00ed, igual el treinta por ciento de la poblaci\u00f3n.
\nSantiago: Guau, mucha gente.
\nEmma: S\u00ed, tengo familia en Donegal, que est\u00e1 a tres horas de Dubl\u00edn, y casi todos sus habitantes trabajan en Dubl\u00edn.
\nSantiago: \u00bfQue tal es Dubl\u00edn?
\nEmma: \u00a1Est\u00e1 genial! Me gusta mucho. Hay muchos sitios interesantes para ver. Mucha historia. Pero lo mejor son los bares por la noche. Bueno, por el d\u00eda tambi\u00e9n. Pero por la noche siempre hay mucha gente tocando instrumentos y cantando en los bares.
\nSantiago: Me gusta la m\u00fasica folk de Irlanda.
\nEmma: A m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n.
\nSantiago: Beben mucha cerveza los irlandeses \u00bfno?
\nEmma: La Guinness sobre todo.
\nSantiago: \u00bfY c\u00f3mo comen? \u00bfEst\u00e1 bien la comida irlandesa?
\nEmma: Pues, no, si te digo la verdad. Pasteles y patatas.<\/p>\n

\nEmma: I’m from Spain, my whole life. But my family comes from Ireland.
\nSantiago: How interesting. I see that you have ginger hair and pale skin. I don\u2019t know much about Ireland. How is it? Do all people have red hair?
\nEmma: Of course not. Many people do, but not the majority. Ireland is a very beautiful country. Very green. And the people are very nice. They talk to everyone.
\nSantiago: What is the capital?
\nEmma: Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland and Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland.
\nSantiago: How many people live in Dublin? Is it a big city?
\nEmma: It’s not very big. It’s not like Madrid or London. I think about five hundred thousand people live in Dublin. Maybe more.
\nSantiago: And do most of the Irish work in Dublin?
\nEmma: Yes, about thirty percent of the population.
\nSantiago: Wow, that\u2019s a lot of people.
\nEmma: Yes, I have family in Donegal, which is three hours from Dublin, and almost all of its inhabitants work in Dublin.
\nSantiago: How is Dublin?
\nEmma: It’s great! I like it very much. There are many interesting places to see. Lots of history. But the best thing is the bars at night. Well, during the day too. But at night there are always a lot of people playing instruments and singing in bars.
\nSantiago: I like Irish folk music.
\nEmma: Me too.
\nSantiago: The Irish drink a lot of beer, don\u2019t they?
\nEmma: Guinness above all.
\nSantiago: And how do they eat? Is Irish food okay?
\nEmma: Well, no, to tell you the truth. Pies and potatoes.<\/p>\n
