MIghTy African visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland

From The Vim Views & Versions - Blogs of a MIghTy African Sat Mar 22 2014, 23:57:00

Last month, I traveled to the UK for the first time in over 10 years for work. The particular place I went to was Belfast, in Northern Ireland. Belfast is quite the interesting name. Makes me say things like "Belfast. Make I bell you fast before I go lef Belfast." It took a while to hit me that I was actually in the same country that has London. If some other events had gone a certain way, I'd have been in Dublin, Ireland instead. It turns out they are really different countries, they even have different currencies. In this blog post, I'd share some memories. I couldn't get any phone network to roam on, but who needs that, when you have wi-fi :-)

2:33pm in #Belfast, Northern Ireland. Here for work with Rancard, meeting Intel on an ongoing project. Colder here than Ghana. #233moments
