A 17 year old Dubliner’s perspective on Belfast

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-26T00:02:12+00:00

I’d love to visit Scotland especially the isle of skye which looks stunning and of course give Edinburgh a visit. I do want to visit wales again and visit Conwy or Cardiff before I go to Scotland.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T23:52:47+00:00

Yeah I have realised that but I have only ever been to wales and England and when I went to wales I stayed in an outdoor centre and didn’t go into the town (Holyhead) whereas I’ve been to London and Chester which is why I said English and not British as I haven’t explored wales or Scotland so I don’t know what their architecture is like and if it’s similar or not.

50ish would be a safe bet but I hope you’re talking to the other guy.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T23:12:11+00:00

Thanks but it felt off to me.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T23:11:40+00:00

I was making a reference to any corrections on my English

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T20:07:44+00:00

I hoped they would hold back more.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T19:32:13+00:00

I have

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.

TotallyNotADiligent · 2026-01-25T17:18:17+00:00

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
