First Days in Belfast

On Friday the 8th of July Patrice and I started our journey. We flew from Berlin SFX to DUB airport. The flight took about 2 hours and 30 minutes and the time passed really quick. Afterwards we took a bus to get from Dublin to Belfast, which took another 2 hours. As we arrived in Belfast we were received by a girl from Intern Europe. She told us everything we had to know about the house rules and all that kind of stuff.
The both of us took our time on Sunday and Saturday to explore our neighborhood. So we walked around for hours and bought stuff we needed. We also met the both Spanish guys living with us in the same house and the 10 Austrian girls living in the house next to us. Everyone seemed to be really nice and we had a good weekend. 
The first meeting with Intern Europe took place on Monday the 11th which by the way was also my birthday. They told us a couple more things about rules, things we should keep in mind and gave us contact information for different scenarios. 
Right after the meeting Patrice and I walked around to search the Queens University of Belfast, which is also my working place for the next couple of weeks. We took a couple of fotos of the building and went inside to see a bit more of it.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we had another 2 days off work, so we didn't really do anything special. We went shopping again and hang around with the people we met here.
