Friday was a crazy filled day that I don’t even know where to start for this one. It was a packed day filled with trains, bus tours, lectures, and a Belfast dinner.
Friday was our Belfast day which meant a long train ride to Northern Ireland. The train was pretty comfy, but I had to sit across from our 7ft tall Grad student, Andy. It was a long ride of tangled legs.
After the train ride we arrived in the industrial Belfast. I felt like it probably hasn’t changed for a decades. We took a bus tour of the city which was really cool because we got to see how the Catholic and Protestants fighting really affected them.
The bus tour also brought us around to some really cool murals, cathedrals, and city sites. It was really informative and overall a great experience.
We also got to go to a great lecture at the Belfast Telegraph. This was interesting to find out how much Northern Ireland uses the Internet. Basically the entire country has broadband.
After that we got to eat dinner. I enjoyed muscles, chicken, and apple crumble desert. It was amazing.
