This week was up on the previous day and again amazingly uneventful. Yesterday I was with Shannon (our new roommate from March, who lives until further notice once in a college dorm) and Corinne in Belfast, where we looked at a hockey game against the Belfast Giants, the Edinburgh Captials. I must admit: Compared to football Hockey is a lot more eventful. It makes it much more fun to watch because it is much faster and it takes hours not felt until a goal is scored, even if the game according to the Canadian pro-fans that I've seen the game thought that the players under- played at NHL level have (NHL is the professional hockey league in the U.S. and Canada). Again, I have once again taken more Canadian than Irish culture, even if we have seen the rest of the Ireland rugby game against England in a pub in Belfast (Score: IRL 20-16 ENG). Incidentally, one should be careful where you cheer for whom, when it comes to England against Ireland in Belfast. But back to the game: Because that unfortunately did not as planned. Because it was found in the second third of a hole in the ice that is unfortunately the game had to be canceled. Over time, we then had in any case we still have gone into a Belfast club.

My overall impression of Belfast is very positive, I'll stop by in any case, once there, for Belfast is not only beautiful, but also from people you meet very nice. What seems a little strange is the "Little-Big-Ben", which you see here in the photo, because the acts a bit like a copy of London, although the Northern Irish version is wrong. Also, the Replica of the Millennium Eye, the giant Ferris wheel that one finds in London on the Thames, there is a smaller version in Belfast. But also a replica of a Dublin landmark, we have found, you could say that Belfast is a mixture of Dublin and London, although one should never say such a thing while you're sitting there in a pub.
