Internal medicine is alright, you get to learn a lot from rounding plus you get tutorials that can help in strenghtening your weak points.
I personally like it so far especally since my coordinator does ask a lot of questions... the questions are very good for motivationg you to study but it's ok if you don't know the answers. You'd be told and can also look up the answers.
Ireland is nice place but it rains often so you might need an umbrella around here, otherwise good weather. One can pretty much find their way around this place just like in New York city with the exceptions of very tall buildings but quite frankly, it's more or less a small town in my view.
The people are quite nice or even friendly and if you simply do your thing and offend no one, you'd be fine;in fact no one would bother you at all.
The other students are very nice and they'd help you out when you need it so you'd be quite alright.
With that said, unless you have specific questions, you can always pm.
