50 people, 1 question *

Summary:

Fifty people in the streets in Galway are asked the same question. They first introduce themselves and then they hear the question: ‘What is your biggest life regret?’ You see them shy a bit at first, because it is a rather personal question and then they think.. and think. The answers vary from people that have no regrets, who wanted to be an opera singer to having spent more time with certain people. Most people say they regret nót doing something. In the other episode they are asked ‘when are they most Irish’, answers vary here as well, but the answer most heard is ‘when they are abroad’.

Own opinion:

I thought especially the first question was very inspiring! As said above, most people regret not to have done something, or having it done sooner, it makes you think. One of the people said in the end: “I try not to regret anything and take life the way it comes.”. I guess that it actually the best way to live, although sometimes you should look back and think about things you did and did not do, because you might still be able to change something. If I have to think about when I feel most Dutch, my answer would be during the international soccer matches, although I do not even like soccer, I still roar like a lion ;) .
