are so expensive that a return flight is cheaper. Hong Kong, Turkey,=20
Singapore, Thailand, China and Tiawan only about 3 to 4 days longer and=20
similar price as UK postage to Ireland.

There is a business opportunity for someone with a US postal address=20
that likes flying to Ireland/UK/Rest of Europe. Canada seems to be even=20
more expensive.
France and UK seem more expensive than Italy, Poland, Germany or=20
Netherlands to Ireland.
