This city is wicked. We did the city centre/shopping district walkabout as we do in every city. Strictly for research purposes - need to ensure merchandise mix in all Topshop locations are consistent. Following that, we went to Mourne Seafood Bar and had the best meal since Market Lane in Cork. On our way back to the hotel, we popped into a tattoo shop so Kelly could kick around some ideas for a new tattoo. We're going back there now to see what they came up with for her. We have to go back to Zara, though. We have some stuff on hold.
The weather is mental today - viciously windy. We took a video of us being attacked by the wind and bitch-slapped by my umbrella...pretty funny. We did the Black Cab tour (in a blue car that didn't really look like a traditional black taxi) and it was really neat. Housing here is 80% segregated (Catholics, Protestant) and the schools are 95% segregated.
Belfast is in the midst of major development right now, it's really buzzing and very tourist-friendly. In five years, this city will be absolutely phenomal. They want to prepare this city for the 2012 Olympics in London and it looks like great progress is being made.
I can't wait to come back.
