Friday Night

Friday night, we had the idea to check out Robinsons Bars, because I figured out, that there should have been a band playing Irish folk music, but after 10 minutes, we decided to leave this pub, because people were kind of strange and there was a strange atmosphere. The weater was fine so we decided to take the chance and get some sun at Filthy McNasty’s. Unfortunately there was no live music but nevertheless it was a nice evening.

Visit from Berlin

Hi guys,

on Tuesday came visitors from Berlin to Belfast. Who? Mr. Bavar (my supervisor) and Mrs. Neumann (supervisor from the MPIB).

They have visited the companies and accommodations from the AFIB members.

They were at 11 o’clock in my company, where we have talked about the work at Anaeko. Later came my responsible person from Anaeko to us and we spoke all together .

On the late afternoon, the complete AFIB went in the “Filthy MacNasty’s”-Pub, a small Pub in the Dublin Road, there we drunk, of course only coke. =D
It was nice to speak once again with people from Germany.

At 7:30 p.m. our visitors walked to the train station to drive back to Dublin.

Best regards from Belfast

Uplifting vocals

Every Wednesday is a great musician named Mark Graham playing at Filthy MacNasty’s. Rene, Tim and I were at his last to gigs and listened to him.  He is a singer/songwriter based in Lisburn and he is enchanting crowds with his heart-stopping, uplifting, easy going style of music. At night-time his job is being a musician playing at pubs and weddings, but his day job is writing songs.  His Music is inspired by McCartney, Lennon and Hendrix. It is a rally good feeling to listen to him and to see how enthusiastic he is about music. But the most impressive thing about him as an musician is that he don’t need a band behind him, just him and his guitar, that is all what he need to sound as great as he do.  I really like people like him, because they make our lives for a few hours easier and a bit stress less.

So see you on Wednesday at Filthy MacNasty’s 10.00 pm, have a pint and enjoy.

Again a perfect evening

Yesterday, Tim, Oli and me decided to go to the cinema to watch the film „The Dictator“. We had to get some things done, so we started at 19:30 and the film started at 19:40. Going to the ciname takes just 3 minutes on foot, so we had no problems reaching the cinema in time. I thought this film could be either very funny or just nonsence. To be honest: it was both of it. Some scenes really made me laugh but others just made me shake my head.

Due to the fact, that we had no time for lunch before, we had some dinner at Nando’s afterwards. They are specialised in chicken. We were a bit disappointed when  we saw the size of the dish. There was not nearly as much food as we expected on our plates but is was really tasty.

The last stop on this evening was Filthy McNasty’s. It was just a perfect idea, because there was live music and it was just awesome. The guy’s name who played is Mark Graham. I really like this evenings with live music. There seem to be so many musicians playing their songs in Belfast’s pubs and this is just amazing. I will really try to find some good locations offering great live music acts when I’m back to Berlin.
