Belfast Well, 45 minutes anyway Thanks to the Aer Lingus airplane strike which happens to happen the weekend of my flight from Dublin to Scotland's Glasgow. So I have to change plans and planes. My only option is to take a train to Belfast, and catch a flight to Glasgow. So I'm able to swing by Belfast for about half an hour, taking a cab from the train station to the airport.
Now, it's not really fair to judge a city from a cab ride to the airport. But I did just wanna show you that Belfast isn't the total war zone you always see on TV. The taxi cab driver bristles when I comment it seems safe, saying that the violence is only in certain West parts of the city, while the city center is generally OK. So, while I didn't really do the city properly, at least I can see other images of Belfast other than war zones.
OK, that was quick. Then I fly to Scotland's Glasgow.

 Chilling at the airport. See, no legions of armed guards.
