Arrived in Belfast Saturday afternoon, sleep deprived but happy. I'm hanging with my cousin Brian, who's been studying at Queens University all semester. This is my fourth trip to Ireland -- Dublin/Kilkenny/Tipperary/Killarney in 1996 Belfast in 1997 Dublin/Galway/Inismore in 2001 Brian picked me up at Europa Bus Centre and checked me in to a guest dorm at Queens'. The room is nice -- reasonably comfortable bed and quiet, with a sink in the room and a loo down the hall. We had a nice dinner a...
Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom csmHi friends and family! I am back in Belfast, Northern Ireland for three weeks. I am staying at Queen's dorms to do my independent study project. My topic is the connections between violence and poverty in the unionist/loyalist communities of Belfast. I got to Belfast yesterday and have been settling into my single, which I enjoy very much. Especially the communal toilet you have to reach into the water-filled tank to flush... I knew I was back on a college campus when within a few hours I wa...

... the house was amazing, it used to be lord someone's summer residence and was a very impressive georgian manor. there was 11 bedrooms (used to be 16 but they merged some cause it just wasn't necessary to have 16 bedrooms in a 5 person household), at least 3 kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, tennis court, 2 lakes, stables, gate house and a big fountain in the courtyard. and it was all furnished in antique/period furniture. we'd all heard about it ...
Stewartstown, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom neasonWe left derry at about 9am and i think we all enjoyed the 2 hour drive to belfast ira ceas (mostly sleeping!) it was raining heavily but the scenery was so beautiful, it was quite dramatic and i think the weather kinda enhanced it! we got to belfast and had about half an hour of free time before our black cab tour started (most of us headed for coffee shops!) the black cab tour is locals that take you round to all the mural sites in their taxis. it was really good. we went first to the ...
Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom neasonWe hit Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle today, which is a huge castle<br>that literally fell of the side of the cliff while people were in it<br>waiting for their meal. It was pretty cool to see, then we drove the<br>entire Coastline which was unreal. It was soooo cold and rainy and<br>windier than ever today, yet still there were a million ...
Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom nic_dani_geers... d be coming from the left!! So, basically I felt a slight panic/adrenaline rush every time I crossed the street as my head wildly swung back and forth hoping that if there was a car coming, I'd see it.<br><br>. . . that the United States was colonized by England. This is my anthropological break-through. Okay, that's obviously not a break through, but it was an eye-opening experience. You see, the ...
Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom ksullivan... a "check" to find out the speed and it came out as that of what you get for dial up. So, Mom, you know exactly how I feel right now.) I ate my packed lunch as I worked at checking emails, etc. I also started on my blog for yesterday's journey since I didn't have time to do it prior. Another girl in my group asked me to look over her paper. I agreed hoping that it would inspire me to get moving on mine. (No such luck.) Wouldn't you know, time evaporated again. Even with an hour ...
Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom meece... wing of the IRA. It’s a busy commercial street, with murals on the sides of the terraced housing off it commemorating hunger-striking political prisoners and deaths of civilians caught up in the recent decades of violence. “Free Sean Kelly” graffiti was another common sight, a tactic which obviously worked as the political prisoner was released from prison six days after our visit. <br><br>From there we crossed through the ‘Peace Line’, an ...
