If This City Won’t Inspire You, I Don’t Know What Will

There’s not much travel news or any big events that known about Northern Ireland travel. Especially if you’re coming from Asia, or you’re an Asian, travel guides about Northern Ireland could only possibly be found online. People are much more interested in knowing about London and possibly other European cities. It’s an underrated city and country to visit, which I really think should not be the case. It’s one of the few seemingly uneventful cities in Europe that’s become a personal favorite. Belfast is an absolute beauty, like a written lyric of a timeless classic.

This serene city is a place that’s like your favorite grandparent’s home. That cosy, troublefree abode. The minute you rest your eyes on her beautiful landscapes and lovely people, all life’s worries will be thrown out of your mind. I have great experiences and awesome memories that I got out of Northern Ireland. I’m a complete sucker for their people – they are the kindliest, as if I’m a blood relative, a brother, a missed nephew, a returning boyfriend, a teacher’s pet, a longlost buddy. Feeling the love and hospitality, yes. They treat strangers with the UTMOST RESPECT you can ever imagine, even more corteous and more amicable than the Japanese and the Nepalese in Asia.

Then there’s the Irish architecture. Impressive. Inspiring. Timeless. Looks almost basic and fundamental at first, but the more you look at it, the more it reveals itself to be the masterpiece you desired to see. Then, the landscapes. Gorgeous. Vast space and delightfully cool. The green scenery are torn out from fairy tale books and legends. Castles, and rocks, and isles. Lots of possibility to run into a sea of cumulus clouds and herds of sheeps. Think New Zealand but even more peaceful. You’ll feel like you’re stuck in a Game of Thrones series, where everything mythical and magical is unfolding right before your raw emotions. If this city won’t inspire you to explore landscapes and nature in a slow absorb-everything pace, then I don’t know what will. Join me as we engage with Belfast and the rest of Northern Ireland for all its inspiring-worth.
