OK, so I go to Belfast in order to check out the sights and see how the place is coping since the 'troubles' ended three years ago. My hotel asks me if I want the 'tour' or the 'other tour'. Being adventurous, I elect for the 'other tour' and end up in the car of a guy from the IRA, who takes me all over Belfast and shows me where the bombs were set off, made and stored, and where the 'volunteers' were killed and jailed. We finished in the cemetary where the hunger strikers of 1981 are buried. Fascinating, if one sided, and I have loads of photos of a recent and very real war...
