American Reacts to AWESOME Things to do in Belfast, Northern Ireland

[@carolineskipper6976]

I don't think you could visit Belfast without learning something about The Troubles, so visiting the prison makes a lot more sense here than most other places. There's clearly a lot more to Northern Ireland than the legacy of The Troubles, but equally it shouldn't be ignored.

[@xneurianx]

I don't think he picked up on the phrase "The Troubles" and I'm pretty sure he thinks the prison is just a normal prison. I watched the video he did recently looking into the history of Ireland and the video he reacted to didn't really cover the fact we call that era of history "The Troubles" and the significance of that as a phrase.

The Crumlin Road Prison is a great tour, the Halloween tour is even more interesting, Belfast is my City, just outside Belfast ,about 15 miles is the area of Strangford Lough ,an area of outstanding Beauty and also Daft Eddys Pub and restaurant, which sits on the edge of the Lough. You need to visit Northern Ireland ,so many wonderful places to see. I'm English ,but live in Northern Ireland ,this wee country has so many hidden gems.

[@kennymitchell4361]

Absolutely a beautiful place filled with beautiful souls and not respected enough by some of its own inhabitants

[@Kardiac]

I'm from Northern Ireland but live in England now. i think at times we take the scenery for granted and often think of great scenery as being what we'd see for instance on a US hiking trail. Huge mountains, forests etc. I guess it's the appeal of something unfamiliar. There's a lot more to Belfast than shown in the video as it spent more time around the Causeway coast than the city. If you are a Game of Thrones fan there's a lot of filming locations to visit as well as the Studio Tour in Banbridge which is well worth a look. It's good to see a reactor understand the distinction between Ireland and Northern Ireland, we don't often see that!

[@jimff5]

I'm from Belfast, and while this video was good, as far as it goes, it somehow misses out on the essence of our wee City, I am not a "Game of Thrones" fan, but it seems to pop up all over the place! The room shown in the Titanic segment is a reproduction of one of the rooms on the ship, the museum is certainly worth a visit, especially if it rains (and it does sometimes in Northern Ireland!) Come and see for yourselves, you WILL enjoy your visit!

[@DavidDoyleOutdoors]

@Tyler 80% of Game of Thrones was filmed in Northern Ireland, and all the sets were filmed and built in Belfast’s Titanic Studios.

Also the coastal route and giants causeway is NOT Belfast, it frustrates me as I'm a Belfast native 😂 it's great and I'm proud to have these other wonders but the narrator is very misleading. Belfast is the city, any sights with natural scenery is usually miles outside the city.

[@matthewbergeron3641]

I'm not british or anything, and could be wildly wrong, but I thought pubs were actually different from bars. Like i think you can get food and it's more of a community thing in a pub and a bar is like solely to get drunk. I just don't think they are synonyms

The Giants Causeway... Quote: "Fingal's Cave is on the uninhabited island of Staffa, a tiny island six miles off the coast of Mull in Scotland's Inner Hebrides. It's the Scottish equivalent of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and Celtic legends link the two with tales of rival giants throwing rocks at each other across the Irish Sea". 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸

[@petersymonds4975]

Tyler. You will to be careful with an Irish, or British, pint. In the US a pint is I think 16 fluid ounces. Here and in Ireland a pint is 20 fluid ounce. In the republic of Ireland the Guinness is a different beer to any Guinness you could get anywhere else. In Ireland Guinness have a very good tourist venue. It’s the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin with a great display of the story of the black stuff. The top floor is their Skyline Bar with great views of the city and for your entry fee to enter the Storehouse you get a freshly poured pint of Guinness.

[@extint3407]

You should see the giant cause way... perfectly hexagons or pentagons formed naturally.. I know Scotland has the other half as apparently there used to be a bridge from the giants causeway in Northern Ireland to Scotland which Giants used.... bit of a myth but they look awesome

Hi Tyler If you want to see a NON-typical Englishman, who is certainly not average, then watch the much-viewed "Fred Dibnah-How To Erect A Chimney Scaffold " from 1979 and bear in mind he does all you will see with a vertical, slightly unstable ladder, with NO safety equipment or NO whatsoever, on his own, in thin air and then in the part knocks the chimney down Brick By Brick and then in Part 3 he sets fire to it all to knock it down. It WILL blow your mind and they do not make Men like that anymore.

[@xneurianx]

The prison is significant because it's where prisoners during "The Troubles" were held. In your reaction video about the history of Northern Ireland, it talks about the era of what was essentially English Imperialism in Ireland and the religious civil war / terrorism / independence movement / that was a part of that. Basically that era between King James annexing Ulster and the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and the Omagh Bombing is an era known as "The Troubles" - although a lot people use it to refer more specifically to the era from the 1960s through to 1998 when the Republican and Unionist paramilitary groups fought each other and, in the case of the Republicans, England. It's a big part of the history of Northern Ireland and the British Isles as a whole. It's a VERY contentious issue even now - possibly spiked somewhat by the fact that Brexit has caused some issues with the Good Friday Agreement - but you might find it interesting to react and learn about. I know you're always respectful in your videos, but treat it with A LOT of dignity and respect if you do. A lot of us know people who died, a lot of us remember the bombs and a lot of us remember the blood - both Irish and English.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

Yes a lot of innocent people died in Christmas Bombing campaigns in England; as I am sure a lot of innocent people died in Ireland. I know boys who were sent to serve in N Ireland just kids fresh out of school with no political or religious opinions or affiliations; in the army to escape unemployment. They returned completely shaken. Thank the good lord those times are in the past.

Game of thrones has really increased the number of visits. We will also milk the titanic for all it's worth. Including a restaurant called "Thai - tanic"

[@Raghnaid]

The caves look like the ones where some of Game of Thrones was filmed. The trees are beech trees and they're dying. Normally they live for about 250 years, these trees are 240 years old and there are only half left of the original 150 that were planted. And, the Giant's Causeway has a much smaller matching site directly across the sea in Scotland, which backs up the story of Finn McCool. "Fingal's Cave is on the uninhabited island of Staffa, a tiny island six miles off the coast of Mull in Scotland's Inner Hebrides. It's the Scottish equivalent of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and Celtic legends link the two with tales of rival giants throwing rocks at each other across the Irish Sea."

[@mskatonic7240]

Oh god, the murals. They're not exactly cultural art, I mean, they are but they're also war banners declaring which side of the Troubles the neighbourhood in question was/is on. They're well drawn and worth seeing but they're also implicitly a threat of violence so...

[@cenedra2143]

[@TheGrimmCommoner]

The Giants Causeway, according to legend, was actually built by the Scottish giant who wanted to fight Finn McCool. Finn's wife tricked the giant by dressing Finn up as a baby and said that her husband was out hunting and would be back soon. The Scottish giant ran before he could see how big Finn really was and started pulling out rocks from the bridge on his way back to Scotland (and that's why there's only rocks on the Irish side).

[@kennymitchell4361]

Your correct

[@matthewbergeron3641]

Hexagons are THE most common shape in in all aspects of life, from interplanetary to microcopic. Obviously bee hives and those rocks are a bit more noticable, but cell structures, atomic and molecular bonding, water bubbles, snowflakes, the internal structures of your muscles and eye cannals all take on hexagonal shapes naturally. It's the shape that requires the least amount of perimeter for the most amount of area, while also being perfectly tileable, unlike circles, so it's advantageous to cellular life that not being able to tile hexagonally can actually be a cause of, or can cause cancer. Another big reason is that Carbon bonds hexagonally, and all known life is carbon based. Concerning just carbon, human beings are about 18% hexagon

[@paulharvey9149]

Yes... I'm afraid there is a hidden message in this film, and that is that the most awesome to thing to do in Belfast is - get the hell out of there! And while it's a fairly plain city by British standards, it's not THAT bad! In any case, as you've just illustrated Tyler, one man's muck is another man's brass - what is basically a really typical back lane to us that's had a lick of paint and some decorations put up to make it look more interesting to us, is something really cool and interesting to you...! Now, if you want to see a dangerous footbridge, you really should check out this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g33OkHVunLWKjpo This guy, whose name is James, regularly does these hill-walking videos featuring his ambition to climb all the Munro's (Scottish mountains of over 3000 feet, of which there are 282), quite a common thing to do around these parts...

[@kevtb874]

The Giant's Causeway Legend: Once upon a time, there was a mythological Irish giant called Finn McCool who got himself into a spot of trouble with a high-tempered Scottish giant called Benandonner, who had made a claim for Finn’s island of Ireland. Enraged at Bennandonnar’s claim, the giant Finn McCool starts angrily throwing boulders towards Scotland. Inspired by the way they fell into the water, Finn decided to use his boulders to make a bridge or causeway all the way across to confront his rival. But Finn realises he has underestimated his enemy - Benandonner is much much larger than him - so Finn quickly returns to Ireland and comes up with a plan... Benandonner soons makes his own journey across the causeway where he discovers Finn’s wife tending to her enormous baby giant. Realising that if Finn’s child is this big, Finn himself must be huge!! Benandonnar hurries away, retreating back to Scotland with his tail between his legs. As he hurries home, he frantically tears away bits of the causeway, severing all ties between Scotland and Ireland. (This is why Fingal's Cave in Scotland shares the same rock formations as the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland) The ruse? Finn had dressed himself up as a baby to trick the other giant and scare him off. :)

Things you're asking for when you even express an interest in Belfast or Northern Ireland - Bringing a huge number of people who use the comments as a political bulletin board. And 2, a lot of cod History that overly simplifies everything and ignores any opposing viewpoints, political or philosophical. Just be warned. On the other hand, Northern Ireland is pretty spectacular and Belfast is pretty much one of the friendly cities you''ll ever be in (Glasgow and Dublin pale into comparison). Other than political history there was a lot of scientific, economic and artistic history that's scattered around but really doesn't get as much attention as it diserves, but there you go, the Titanic and Game of Thrones, if its not been on TV it isn't interesting i guess!
