the bad reputation

October 29 Belfast

For a city with such a poor reputation, there are some really friendly people here. Granted, such a legacy of violence is bound to put a damper on positive energies, but so far it's quite enjoyable here. And, the pubs. Some of the most interesting and welcoming places I have been to in all of Ireland. Using the £ gets expensive, and in Belfast it is especially expensive, but with some conservation it's not too bad.

The prices this weekend are way more than normal, but its a bank holiday here this weekend in addition to Halloween, and the beginning of the second half of the college student's semester. Busy busy. But there's nothing like Halloween celebrations in other countries. Way out of control.

Well, the internet timer is counting down the seconds to zero and I am out of bloody change to plug the meter. Nuts.
