In 1911, after Harland and Wolff completed Titanic’s construction, it was handed over to the White Star Line, which assumed responsibility for its operations. Following the ship’s tragic sinking in 1912, no one was held legally liable, as investigations concluded that Titanic met the safety standards of the time ⚓️ This pivotal moment in history is powerfully captured at the Titanic Museum in Belfast 🇮🇪

I’m missing Bulgaria today 😍🇧🇬 I only spent a few hours in the city of Lovech, but the view from the Hisarya Medieval Fortress absolutely took my breath away ❤️✨

Gorgeous! 🤩🌊

Geez, all that graffiti is just AWFUL. Where's law enforcement?

Thank you for visiting the Bulgarian city of Nis!🙂

When I visited this castle I had a wonderful time there. This castle has a beautiful view of the sea which allowed it to be protected from any enemy that might wanted to have attacked them. This castle with all of its history and beauty was well worth visiting.💚☘️💚☘️

There’s a popular piece of folklore associated with the castle that claims its kitchen collapsed into the sea during a violent storm in the 17th century, 🌊 taking the cooks and servants with it. According to the tale, only a single kitchen boy survived, saved because he was sitting in the corner of the room that remained intact. However, paintings from the 19th century depict the kitchen still standing, suggesting this dramatic story is more myth than fact. Even so, it adds to the rich tapestry of legends surrounding Dunluce Castle. 🏰🇮🇪💛

A divided region in a divided country as a result of brutal invasion colonisation and ethnic cleansing

Thank you for sharing your travels for everyone to see and to enjoy. I always look forward to seeing another new video from you.

Надам се да ћете истражити цео град Србије. на твом каналу? Ниш, Србија је најлепши град.

Great video! I’m a tour guide that does Derry Girls tours and I’m pretty sure by your description of private tour and “original sites” which is the name of our tour that you done this with the company I work for :)! Hope you enjoyed your time in Derry!

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to cover so many chapters of history on a single day trip. Niš was a fascinating city to visit, and I hope I’ll get the chance to return sometime 💛

It’s remarkable how something meant to be temporary has lasted for decades, but West Belfast’s Peace Walls serve to highlight the ongoing complexities of reconciliation in a divided society.

United Kingdom.

I had a great time at this market. I can understand why it is such a popular place to visit.☘️💚

Fun fact: During World War II, St. George’s Market was temporarily used as a mortuary following the Belfast Blitz. Its sturdy structure made it one of the few buildings that could accommodate such a tragic need during those dark times.

"Our day will come" in Irish is "Tiocfaidh ár lá" (pronounced like "chuck-ee are law"). This phrase has deep historical significance and is often associated with the Irish republican movement as a symbol of hope and resilience during the struggle for independence and civil rights.

As someone who is not a proponent of violence, I have quite an aversion to the lyric "Whether your hand is on the ballot box or your hand is on the gun..." That said, it highlights an interesting historical aspect of the Irish republican movement, which once declared they had "an Armalite in one hand and a ballot box in the other." Fortunately, the movement has since shifted toward exclusively political means to pursue their goals -- a change that has been vital for peace and progress in Ireland. ❤️🇮🇪

The display Kit Kats 🤣❤️

This video is slightly niche and is largely for my fellow Derry Girls fans! Derry is such a fun city to explore, and every visit deepens my appreciation for the vibrant culture and history that shaped the show. While exploring the city, I attempted to channel my inner Orla (my favorite Derry Girl!) and fearlessly dive into this wee solo travel adventure. 💚

Hilden Mill in Lisburn -- once the largest linen thread mill in the world -- is a remarkable piece of industrial history with a storied past. Founded in 1823 by the Barbour family, the mill played a key role in Northern Ireland's globally renowned linen industry. 🧵At its peak, it employed thousands of workers and exported its high-quality thread worldwide. Though the mill ceased operations in 2006, its historic significance remains. However, its legacy has faced challenges in recent years due to a series of fires 🔥 that have damaged parts of the structure. These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the need to preserve and protect historic landmarks like Hilden Mill. 🕰 It’s fascinating (and a bit tragic) to think about how this once-thriving hub of innovation and labor has faced such turmoil in its later years.

I recently watched "In the Name of the Father" (a film about the Guildford Four, who were wrongfully convicted of IRA bombings in the 1970s), and I was SO surprised to see Kilmainham Gaol in the film! 🤩

🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Derry Girls is such a cute show. Thank you for the tour of Londonderry Ireland.

Great video!!! That pizza looked great! God Bless!!!!

Hopefully in replicating the old jail cells paint was used.😂

During the Irish republican prisoners' "No Wash" protest, their cells were stripped to the bare essentials: foam mattresses on the ground, containers for excrement (which were later smeared onto the cell walls to reduce the foul odor), blankets (worn in lieu of prison uniforms), and Bibles. Sadly, some of the prisoners used the pages of their Bibles to roll and smoke tobacco that had been smuggled into the prison. As this replica shows, the prisoners used torn pieces of their foam mattresses for the smearing of excrement. The replica does not show, however, the presence of maggots in the cells. It's my understanding that they were a prevalent issue -- one of many.

Fun fact: The use of language is an interesting tool used in the north of Ireland that can be used to distinguish where an individual's sympathies lay with regard to the Northern Ireland Conflict and the broader issue of Irish unity. A few examples include Northern Ireland v. North of Ireland, Derry v. Londonderry, Freedom Fighters v. Terrorists, H Blocks of Long Kesh v. HM Prison Maze, and, most relevant to this short: the "No Wash" Protest v. the "Dirty" Protest.

Believe it or not, the Bulgarian "leaders" who used to sit in this building were such "proponents" of egalitarianism that during Sofia’s May Day parade in 1986 -- just after the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine -- they allowed the parade participants to march on ignorantly, while Bulgaria’s Communist leaders were nowhere to be found.

Any idea what the huge buildings are now being used for?

Good luck with your channel. You did a great job showing the real Bulgaria. When you speak to the camera you need to remember to look at the lens not next to it. Short of that though I think that you did a great job! I will to continue to follow you and have subscribed. Just for a note. I am a Dutch-American with Portuguese residency, lol. I live in Alcoy, Spain in the Costa Blanca. I have an apartment that I own here and love it. I have lived here for a little less then a year full time but I did come here for several long stays since I bought my apartment three years ago. Once more, GOOD LUCK!

TH-cam videos are very nice

You have had an amazing trip with a lifetime of memories made.

If only those old buildings could talk the stories that they could tell.

☘️💚

If these walls could talk, imagine the stories they’d tell. Countless events during the Northern Ireland Conflict unfolded around the Divis housing estate, making it a significant witness to modern Irish history.

oh lord I see yall also have woke folk slappin palestinian stickers all over the place due to excess time combined with lack of information (and inability to listen to new information which conflicts with the ego's beliefs 😅)

Only fellow Derry Girls fans will understand ☺️❤️🇮🇪

Nowadays woke Neo-Marxism in the West seems worse

The Cranberries great song with Dolores O’Riardon’s haunting vocal . Has to be one of the greatest tracks of all time !

✝️🎄❤🇮🇪

Looks like you had a fantastic trip. I can see the difference between the Tayto crisp bags.

Much like the wee English fella, I AM a Derry girl! ❤️🇮🇪🥰 P.S. I absolutely love how the cork board says “A Tale of 2 Taytos” and “Two Tayto Nation.” 😂

In many foreign countries stray cats and dogs are fed and cared for by the locals, and they allow tourists to feed them also. Some countries even have fines or jail time for mistreating strays.

Such a shame that it was vandalized. What a great piece of artwork. We all need to just vent sometimes.

🥔🇮🇪❤
