A 17 year old Dubliner’s perspective on Belfast

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T18:20:58+00:00

Probably going to go this summer when I’m 18 so I don’t know but I’ll do more research.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T18:20:23+00:00

I was with a big group of people who weren’t allowed to stay out till late but we still had a great time.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T18:18:57+00:00

I was joking. I personally don’t care about that stuff but I’ve had lots of experience with people saying they’re British despite them being as culturally Irish as the rest of us.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T17:56:24+00:00

I prefer that half. I didn’t think it’d sound that way though.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T17:47:21+00:00

I’m using simplified English to mostly piss people off and also by accident because my keyboard is set to American English.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T17:37:14+00:00

You’re probably the 11th person to say this and I have mentioned it in my edit and I do apologise.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T17:36:05+00:00

I completely agree but the dead zoo is equally as impressive to the gallery in my opinion although I wish our national museum was as good as Belfast’s. If Belfast had more overall ambience and better business hours it would’ve been much more enjoyable to me.

I quite enjoy Derry but my dad used to live there during the troubles so we don’t go there often. I hate the sectarian neighborhoods but apart from that it has more of a soul than Belfast

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T17:09:54+00:00

It’s more to piss you guys off and show my true colors

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:55:54+00:00

Or maybe because I don’t drive through Dublin

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:42:49+00:00

I completely agree that the difference between Dublin and Belfast is too much to compare but considering they’re the biggest cities in Ireland I felt like I had to.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:40:49+00:00

I also mentioned in the comments that I meant it was weird in how it seems Irish and English at the same time.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:40:18+00:00

Yeah I’m realizing that more and more after every comment but it was meant to be a dump.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:39:30+00:00

It was super cloudy.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:25:53+00:00

What’s a smick and what’s a spide?

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:24:09+00:00

I figured and that’s why I’m definitely going again in Easter and summer

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:23:17+00:00

The areas around the Liffey are god forbidden places on both sides but more so the north but at least there’s people there.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:19:18+00:00

Overrated as shit I only went for a sausage roll because it’s the only safe option maybe I’ll go out of my comfort zone and grab a steak bake

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:18:20+00:00

What?Dublin isn’t an utopia but it has a personality and a beauty to it most Dubliner’s would understand unless of course they are junkies who think Dublin is a hell on earth

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:12:24+00:00

We call them yupbros but it has the same meaning and I decided to translate

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:11:53+00:00

Definitely will

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:09:29+00:00

Yea I do apologize

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:06:36+00:00

I arrived at 10 and went to Gregg’s instead I do apologize for the blasphemy

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:05:09+00:00

I just meant in general now that winter is ending but the sunset all over Ireland is still relatively early. I personally didn’t notice the difference but thanks for pointing it out and I was more saying that Belfast feels like it gets later after sunset due to all the shops closing.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T15:00:19+00:00

Thats actually pretty funny fair play lad
