Last friday I was at the Ulster Museum for the first time with my colleague to fix some screens at the new „The Troubles“ gallery. The gallery is about the Northern Ireland Conflict which ended in 1998. They show letters from people who lost relatives and many news articles about incidents like the Bloody Sunday, i highly recommend it for anyone who is a little interested in history. Later that evening we went to a pub to have a few last drinks with some austrians which we met a few weeks ago, theyr stay ended on saturday. On saturday we had great weather so I went to the Ormeau Park with some flatmates. So far a great start in the weekend and we still have our Bank holiday on Monday.
St. George’s Market and Barbecue Party
At round 3am my Sunday started as I took my girlfriend to the airport.
After a very hard goodbye, I wanted to take the bus home. Unfortunately, the first bus drove not before 6.15am. Due to that, I had to take a taxi for 32£. After being back at my place, I was finally able to sleep for a few more hours.
mid time meeting
Last wednesday Mr. Bavar visited us in Belfast we met in a cafe at 5 pm. We spoke about our workplaces and if were satisfied with out stay, later we went to a mexican restaurant where I just out of curiosity ordered a burrito with very hot sauce which turned out to be a little to hot for me so my colleagues had a good laugh while i nearly cried. The next day we had the mid time meeting with intern europe where they just handed us some papers which we have to get signed. After the meeting i went to the gym with one of my housemates who showed me the sphinx after the gym. The Sphinx is a pretty famous kebab shop in belfast which i highly recommend.
BBQ and a free public day
At Sunday the 6th of May in 2018, on this day we planned a BBQ because we had so nice weather. But for the first we met Robert, Guliano and Tim at the „St. Georges Market“. After the market we went together to tim and then to „Tesco Superstore“ to buy our stuff for the BBQ. Giang, Phi, and Robert drove with the taxi back at home and the rest walked. After our dinner we played a lot games together. I believe we went at 3am into the bed.
Free Comic day and Agent Mr X

The event was starting at 9am but the seller sayed to me, it will be better when I come a bi earlyer. I was at 8.30 am on the comic book shop and the queue was already quite long.
Belfast City Marathon 2018 | #Hit the firewall | Feast day
Day 37 07.05.2018 Monday
On Monday I had a day off from work because of it being a feast day. I stayed at home because the blister on my foot was still very painful. It wasn’t getting any better because of my new business shoes and the fact that I had to walk much more than I was used to in Berlin. While I stayed at home and didn’t move at all, my IT-team from agnew was taking part in the Belfast City Marathon 2018 to raise money for the Cancer Fund for Children. The Agnew group aimed to raise 150 000 pound in 2 year for this cause.
In the intranet I found many articles about different events that they already contributed to. It really impressed because they’ve already raised a lot of money.
One of this events was the marathon. They also participated in events like the “Climb Slieve Donard” which is a part of the Mourne Mountains. It is the highest peak in Northern Ireland and in the wider province of Ulster. During the event you have to climb it. „Belfast City Marathon 2018 | #Hit the firewall | Feast day“ weiterlesen
„Networking Engineer by day, grillmaster by night.“
(quote from unknown)
6th of May in 2018:
A long time ago, we planned to have a barbecue because of JDP’s excellent accommodation. The sunny weather suited the best. But first of all Jenny, Phi, Dome and I went to St. George’s Market. We met Tim, Robert and Giuliano there. „„Networking Engineer by day, grillmaster by night.““ weiterlesen
St. Georges Market & Barbecue Party
For a long time I could sleep long again. Because we meet with Tim and Robert at 1pm on St. Georges Market today, I could stay in bed until 11am. Arriving at St. Georges Market, I wanted to buy a Pulled Pork Burger, but unfortunately everything was already sold out today.
Well, after walking around the market for a while, we went to the next Tesco superstore to buy some food for our BBQ party. As the weather was very good today, this was the perfect day for a barbecue. „St. Georges Market & Barbecue Party“ weiterlesen
St. George’s Market & Grill Party
My goal for today was to visit the St. George’s Market. Since we wanted to meet at 1pm, I could sleep longer and enjoy a hot bath again. At 12:30pm, Giang, Jenny, Dominik and I made our way to St. George’s Market. The sky was clear and the sun smiled. Once there, we first had to find Tim, Robert and Giuliano. After a few minutes, we found them at a food stand.
As I looked at all the stands, one thing suddenly occurred to me. „St. George’s Market & Grill Party“ weiterlesen
Barbeque in our house
Day 36 06.05.2018 Sunday
On Sunday I decided get some rest because my foot was hurting very bad. I had a large blister on my toe because of all the walking, so every step I made was painful. While I stayed at home my roommates visited the St. Georges Market again. Our Landlord came to refill our water boiler because we asked him to and didn’t knew how to do it.
It was a very sunny day so we had a barbeque. The barbeque was very delicious. It is really convenient to have a grill at the back of the house. In Germany I always have to go to a park with determined barbeque areas for a barbeque. It was very easy to clean the grill because you can use the sink inside the house instead of using a water bottle while being at the park. After we finished our meal we played “spyfall”. “Spyfall” is a game (you can find it online) where one or two people of your group are the spies. The others have to figure out, who the spies while the spies have figure out the location of the other without being caught. „Barbeque in our house“ weiterlesen
