Signs of the Times? (Part 1 from Belfast)

Last week I was visiting in Ireland, and specifically in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where I was giving a workshop on comparative contract law for students at Queen’s University Belfast in its new J.D program.  When I visit the city, I always try to save a day for a “dander” around the town, which is wonderfully walkable. 

St. George’s Market is a favorite spot — and in fact last year while I was visiting, Queen Elizabeth was there too, a definite surprise, if you know the history of politics in this city.

There is an interesting collection of stalls, that change a bit with the season and the day.   

Transactions always come with a smile. You can buy fresh fish (I swear I saw one wink at me), fresh eggs, or your funeral plan!
