Hi everyone! Ed here!
We still have some places available for Belfast, so if you’re still interested in going, please contact me at 087 6761959. I will be contacting those of you who are going to discuss our transportation arrangements in the next few days. And here are a few things to know brfore we go on our trip there:
First, remember that they use Sterling (British Pounds) up there! If you have a bank account from either an Irish bank or most other European banks, you should be able to use your bank card in the ATM machines up there with no problems. If you do not have a bank account from either an Irish or other European bank, you might want to stop into one of the local banks to exchange some money.
Second, since we are technically going into another country, and although there are no border checks anymore, I would remind you all to bring along your passports or other documents with you, just to make sure, especially for anyone from outside the European Union.
Third, please be sure not to go anywhere in the city alone. Stay in small groups, or at least in pairs.
Fourth, the hostel provides bed sheets and duvets, so you don’t need to bring them. Also, the hostel has a kitchen for you to cook your own meals. There is a Tesco shop about 5 minutes walk from the hostel.
And finally, you can sign-up for the Giant’s Causeway Tours or the Black Taxi tour from right at the Reception Desk at the hostel.
I hope everyone is doing well, and thanks to all the volunteers and for the willingness to help out with things in light of recent events. It reminds me that my efforts have never been in vain, not for a single moment.
Dziękujemy za solidarność.
Αυτός που είναι κοινός για το μέγιστο αριθμό παραχωρεί τη λιγότερη προσοχή επάνω σε το. Καθένας σκέφτεται κυρίως δικούς του δικοί, μετά βίας σε όλο το κοινό ενδιαφέρον και μόνο όταν έχει σχέση ο ίδιος ως άτομο. Για εκτός από άλλες εκτιμήσεις, καθεμία τείνει για να παραμελήσει το καθήκον που αναμένει άλλο για να εκπληρώσει

All the best, and hope to see you all soon.
