Belfast Part 1

After 5 hours of buses, I finally made it out of the country and into Northern Ireland (yes it's technically part of the United Kingdom).  Right when I left the bus station, I knew I would love the city.  It's much bigger and much more modern than Galway.  People were dressed in suits, and walked on sidewalks with a plan in their head.  Here in Galway, it's much more relaxed and people move at a leisurely place.  It was a great place to visit, and I really do like it, but I don't think I could afford to live there because everything was wicked expensive.


The first hostel we stayed in. The owners were really nice,
and I was up late talking to them one night, and they told me 
that they actually make descent money doing it.  Their only real
expenses are breakfast, laundry detergent to wash sheets, and a
fee for listing their hostel on hostelworld.com

This was the view on the back porch of our room.  
I climbed up to the roof to take this... #sophiespicnictable

 This bank was robbed a few years back, and 26 million pounds were stolen.
Because of it, they had to recall bank notes because they never recovered it all.

 Urinals pop out of the street at night...

 These street performers said they sucked up kerosene to do this...

If I decide not to leave Ireland, I can always for Deloittte here instead!
