This Malaysian was mesmerised by Ireland's charm and beauty


St Stephen's Green is a large park that's popular with locals. — EDNA LIM CHIN IMM

The look of surprise and disbelief I got from my friends when I told them I was going to Ireland made me wonder if I had picked the right destination for my holiday. However, from the moment I landed in Dublin, I was completely taken by its beauty and charm.

Dublin is the capital of Ireland (officially, the Republic of Ireland) and is separated by the River Liffey. When my sister and I arrived, the first thing we did was to take a stroll along this river. Both sides of Dublin are connected by several bridges and one that really stood out was the Samuel Beckett Bridge, a cable-stayed swing bridge, designed after a harp.
