Belfast

Last week I went to Belfast. Well strange city...

Local people all agree it's far much better than before "the events" and they hope for a better future but I found the city gloomy.

I know it's smaller than Glasgow and Dublin but I didn't find real animation despite the Xmas market.

Here are some pictures:

The City Hall

The Crown, the oldest pub in town

A pub from the University area

Belfast Castle

French invasion in the University...

A really weird thing is the police stations, they look like bunkers, with cameras, grids to protect the buildings, it must have been really tough to live there when people were fighting.

And there is still marks of that period in the town...
