Belfast: a Travel Note

I’ve been in Belfast, Northern Ireland for about 56 hours now and it’s definitely different than what I had expecting. With schoot out, this generally-busy college town is rather similar to Tucson in June… kinna. Here are some adjectives to describe it

• green
• COLD
• busy
• windy
• full of public transit (yay!)
• lacking cute collegiate apparel
• cold
• low drinking age (18)
• walkable
• cloudy
• cold

clearly this whole “northern ireland being cold thing” is frightening me as an Arizonan :-)

other than that it’s super fun, I’m here with my beau, and I’m learning all about the Troubles and general history/politics of the area. The accents are pretty awesome and buying things in British Pounds makes them seem marginally cheaper.

Paris tomorrow!
