LETTER: Spread the word: Belfast is friendly
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Ms Jackie Saville
Sir: I would like to comment on your article on Belfast and how to advertise it (Media, 22 August).
I am an Australian tourist. In the past three months I have travelled through France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Ireland and Northern Ireland. I have now settled to live and work for a while in Belfast.
I have met with such friendliness on all occasions. People on the streets and workers in the public and private sectors have gone out of their way to assist me. The city is easy to get to, with good transport. It has everything that other cities have to offer.
I did have a bad impression of Belfast before I came. Now I am trying to spread the word to my friends and family, and I pray the peace will last. Thanks to the people of Belfast.
Yours faithfully,
Jackie Saville
