"Don't overlook this place if you visit Ireland!!" Belfast by MadKiwiBeast

I really loved this city and most of all the people. I found it near on impossible to sit in a pub for more than 10 minutes without someone coming to have a chat, and there is a party scene like nowhere else on earth! You seem to get dragged along to parties here and half the time nobody even knows whose house it is and nobody cares, they just want to have fun. The techno scene is fantastic and again I have to say the people are really warm and friendly. I originally came for a weekend to visit some friends I met from here in Sydney, Australia, and ended up returning a few months later to live. I returned again 6 months later for a week and can't wait for my next visit. The picture is typical of the coast north of Belfast and just a taste of this wild and rugged country.

• Pros:The people and parties
• In a nutshell:Don't be intimidated by what you may have heard of the 'Troubles
