Enjoying Ireland...and fire trucks

I really like Irish music. The mixing of all of the instruments, a fiddle, flute, guitar, and many other is all kind of neat. About music, I like basically all kinds. The only music I don`t like is hard-core heavy metal and hard-core rap. Everything else is OK. Especially I like Jazz I guess. But since I was a child, of course my tastes have changed a little. Also, I like some Japanese artists very much. However, in general, I think the quality of japanese music is very low. It is too main stream, with too many just cute faces.
Fire trucks. Many kids in America dream of being a police man or a fire man. This is a small fire truck on the runway at the very small airport in Aran Isaland. By regulation, maybe a fire truck is required at an airport. Both in America and in Japan, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes after the fire alarm goes off for a fire truck to reach the scene of a fire. That`s pretty fast if you ask me. In Japan though, there are many tall and narrow buildings, like a matchbox. Many of these buidling also have no windows, many bars, restaurants or karaoke shops. Also, there is usually only one set of stairs and also no fire escape door or stairs or ladder. This is pretty dangerous I think. There is no way to escape if there is a fire. So I want the city government to make stricter regulations for these types of buildings.
