I Feel Ill With My Electric Heater On

Back from Belfast to Belfast Road

I am back from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The budget of the trip is definitely positive, despite the weather has not been merciful. I must say that the city of Belfast I liked, I would say even more than Dublin. Probably because Belfast is the classic Irish town, but clearly influenced by English influence. The town is not big and can run well even on foot, weather permitting.
Despite this, the first day, aware of the limited time available to us, we decided to use the services of the tourist bus which allowed us to get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe city in general and to see and enjoy the most important areas in less than 2 hours. Let's say that, as has become clear to me that in Irish cities we can not expect to find elements art and architecture of particular interest (as we are well accustomed in Italy), so it was also interesting in the Shankill district headquarters of the clashes that have characterized the thirty-year history of the city, characterized by numerous murals can be found along the two main streets in the neighborhood , Shankill Road and Falls Road. These murals are often dedicated to the struggle for independence and liberation not only irlanese, but also of Palestine or Catalonia. It is also not uncommon to find buildings that still bear the scars of the fighting. In general it is interesting to turn to these areas in some way to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of those bloody years.
To switch to lighter stuff was nice stroll through the Botanic Gardens Park which houses a couple of greenhouses with tropical plants and a ride to the nearby Queen's University in the heart of Anglo-Saxon style.
is very nice stroll around the center that reminded me, with the proper proportions, London, as there is a harmonious blend of the "ancient" and modern. Passing
alal nightlife we \u200b\u200bwere initially disoriented because it is difficult to find classic pub in Cork which has accustomed us, and are much more frequent in European-style rooms. Other significant differences with Cork are the almost total absence of people around the road closure at 23 places such as McDonald's and Burger King, valuable sources of food for the night owls who corkiani pile up from 2 am onwards.
last note for fans of the Titanic: the most famous ocean liner in the world was born in Belfast and it is possible to visit the places in which it was built and was put on the path of the sea.
short, Belfast is a safe destination to visit, even better if you made after you reach a culture over the past 30 years.
For photos you wait a few days due to technical problems ...
