Hey everyone, right now I'm drying myself off in an internet cafe in Belfast, North Ireland. For those who don't know, North Ireland is not a part of the Republic of Ireland (when you say Ireland, you're probably referring to the Republic of Ireland). Instead, North Ireland is technically a part of the United Kingdom, with allegiance to the Queen of England. That means I have to used pound sterling (£) instead of the good ol' euro (€), making everything ridiculously more expensive than usual! That's what I feckin' need, less money!
Anyways, we've just been meandering through the city, noting landmarks and taking in the neighborhoods where religious sectarianism still rages to this day. As far as I know, we're still going to be traveling around the north of Ireland for the remainder of the week. Once we settle down in Donegall, I'll be able to update more frequently and with more detail.
I hope everyone is enjoying Jan Term over there!
