The Belfast Interview

Hello again,

When travelling it's virtually impossible to see everything you came to see. That maxim is especially true when you are hungover from St. Patrick's Day in Ireland, or, as it should be called, Serve Everyone Who Can Still Stand Day.

The city was remarkably normal today, not like our first night where the streets were empty as people got an early night, and definitely not like our second where the streets were fuller than me after a meal of microwavable bangers 'n' mash (surprisingly authentic). We got to see a little bit more of the city as we wandered around looking for a drycleaners (it's a long story), and were ultimately assaulted at every turn by the delicious smell of baked goods.

Ireland has been good to us over the past few days, and so we at Lastoke would like to thank the entire population of Belfast and the geographical area of Ireland. We'd also like to give a special shout out to Joel, our taxi driver/tour guide who thought enough to bring a marker so we could write on the Peace Wall (he's at the front of today's video!), and who can be reached by booking a Black Taxi tour through your hostel in Belfast. Awesome.

So, one last cheers from the city of good Guiness, and we'll see you all back home in Scotland.

Top o' the mornin',

John from Canada

St. Patty

Hello,

Today, as some of you may know, is St Patrick's Day. So break out your face paint, four leaf clovers, and cigarettes because Ireland is coming through your computer screen. John and I are stationed here in Belfast to give you a first hand report of the St Patty's day celebration. We've learned that the Irish know how to have a good time, everyone smokes, and that besides the near constant stream of Police Armoured cars the city is fantastic.

We've posted extra early so we'd have the time to enjoy some of the fine Irish customs tonight, but more on that later.

Tip of the Day: When painting faces make sure that the bottle is marked "FACEPAINT" and not "ACRYLIC"

Drinkin Overtime,

Stuart from Canada

The Dream

What if you dreamed a dream so real that you couldn't tell it from reality?

Now what if you were unable to wake from that dream?

How would you tell the real world from the dream world?

How would you know when you were awake and when you were sleeping?

What if you never woke?

What if your dream included porsche-driving pirates and Billy Connolly?

This is not that dream.

This is an entirely different dream.

Goodnight, Sleep Tight, and Don't Let The Bedbugs Bite,

John from Canada
