Belfast
Much nicer than I thought.

Having grown up with the troubles making the 18.00 tv pretty much every night with news that the IRA had set off yet another bomb killing innocent people in the name of freedom it was quite emotional for me to see where it was centered. (I never took pictures of the divide as it just didn't feel right).

Of course there are more than two sides to this multifaceted conflict which I won't go into.

Back then Belfast was a run down wasteland as British manufacturing died off and nothing replaced it. No one wanted to invest as it was to risky.

Now it's being heavily invested and becoming a vibrant city. Reminders remain and tension still simmers but it's very much better now

Titanic museum is a must btw.
