It's not a very exciting little country, which is a big improvement over the Troubles, I guess. The weather is damp, the landscape is green and very pastoral with low, rolling hills (drumlins, made by glaciers dropping piles of rocks as they passed) and not much else. We do have a few awesome world class attractions, though, like the Giant's Causeway and the Antrim coast , or Titanic Belfast (which is one of the best museums I've ever been to).

I used to find it all very boring and was glad to head to Scotland to go to University, but the older I get, the more I enjoy my return visits.
