My girlfriend is studying over there for about half a year, I might be inclined to visit her, is anybody on this board familiar with the area ?

If I recall, there is at least one poster who is from Northern Ireland. Arthur_Parker maybe?

ok, you're visiting your girlfriend in a long distance relationship. How much Belfast are you really going to see?

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Err, from what I've seen, when ever a long distance boyfriend came to visit the girl living abroad, they went out and traveled extensively (and got shit faced every single night in random bars) while he was visiting.  Why would it be otherwise?

Is she based in Belfast or somewhere outside?  I'm obviously biased but it's a great city to visit, I worked there for a year but used to visit all the time when growing up.

If you are interested in the recent history of the troubles, it's worth checking out the Shankill road & the Falls road.

Wow, you joke was straight foward and obvious.  I was going to make one implying that Arthur was a part of the IRA as a visiting-Belfast youth, actually laughed out loud a couple times while concocting it.... yeah.  Finally realized that it is probably not so funny if you actually are from-Ireland Irish, rather than descended-from-the-Irish American who's never lived with significant civil strife.

Fucking internet ruins EVERYTHING!
