Thoughts on Belfast

I've now been in Belfast for four days. Here are my impressions so far. It's smaller than I expected. I don't mean population wise. I mean geographically. The neighborhoods of Sandy Row (Protestant), The Falls (Catholic), and Shankill (Protestant) are so close together, and not far off the main roads. I took a wrong turn on my first day here when searching for an electronics store and ended up walking through Sandy Row.
