I live here, just outside Belfast & what can I say - yes its boring at times, where is there in the world that isn't? But the people (on the whole) are friendly, most would talk to anybody about anything, they are very open. The nightlife is good, & the culture is too. For anyone who hasnt been I do recommend it :) I would definitely suggest heading along the Antrim coast as it is absolutely gorgeous, there is really some nice scenery! Also, a favorite of mine is Belfast zoo & Portrush - there is lots to do for kids there, an award winning beach, amusement park (Barrys) an indoor swimming center and lots of arcades to gamble in. Also, Dunluce castle is very nice.
