Real Life Captured #142: Belfast Ireland! Part One (10 photos with Travel Pro Captions!)

Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After twelve years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".

Here we find ourselves in Belfast Ireland, technically the United Kingdom, being northern Ireland. The Irish from this part of the country use the British Pound, they travel freely to all of Ireland and the UK, and can have both an Irish Passport and UK passport.

That being said, culturally this is 100% Ireland. The thick Irish accent was a pleasure to get used to. The culture of fighting, drinking, and all things lucky and green was a real trip after spending most of the past year in South America. The Irish are no nonsense people, and frankly I was a bit intimidated to really "capture" people in my candid style of photography.

On more than one occasion I found myself having to apologize; "Are you taking a photo of me?" I almost got beaten up by a 10 year old boy who was helping an old lady across the street as I saw real life pass me by! On another occasion a candid photo turned into a group photo of some teenagers flicking me off! The Irish are a tough crowed but also full of love and full of life. Now come along and let's see what I've got in this latest group of Real Life Captured photo's in Belfast Ireland!

I'm lucky they just turned and posed for the camera rather than beat my ass!

As the plan flew in was astonished by how green the landscape was.

Double decker buses are the kings of the road in this country.

I think I saw more Chinese restaurants than Chinese people in Belfast.

Going to the barber to get a hot towel shave and your nose hairs trimmed is a big deal here!

There may have been some kind of festival going on but I saw several groups of teenage girls dressed up like this during the weekend. This is not the normal dress, I believe we are looking at wigs and a cartoon like appearance.

What an average street looks like just south of the historic downtown area.

I saw many of these signs all over the city; most of which were mildly vandalized in one way or another.

This was a post directing you where to go in the huge botanic park.

Ice-cream trucks are still very popular in this part of the world. Reminded me of my childhood in suburbia USA.

With over 12 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!
